Question
CKHodges
Good morning all,
This is my first post so my concept of VA policies may be very much askew from reality. I currently have an appeal (submitted Jan 2014) in from my discharge claim of Oct 2011 for my 10% service connected skin condition. I believe I have discovered a clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in the original rating decision. In short summary my skin condition has required me to take several oral medicines to include those outlined in CFR 4.118 (systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs for the past 12 month period). I have taken these medicines for at least ten years while on active duty and have continued with those medicines since my discharge. My military and now private medical records can clearly show this. My original rating of 10% should be at 60% based upon the rating schedule and my continued use of these drugs within the past 12 month period (actually many years). With that said should I wait for the lengthy appeal process...or submit a CUE? Thanks in advance for your response.
Chris
