Question
USMC_VET
I received a 0% for migraines. as has been reported in another thread i was pretty naive with VA claims until i discovered this forum and others regarding my reduction.
My last decision was 0% for migrains and then a denial of increase on ptsd and proposal for reduction.
My question is this...
I am putting together Doctors notes form private phsyicians as well as a consult with a neurologist on the headachs in combination with a headache diary, etc. because i believe i deserved a higher rating. I was told by a VA person, dont worry in six months file for an increase. However the Migraine was backdated 2 years at 0% , i dont want to reopen for an increase i want to appeal the 0%. Do i need to file an appeal on this specific claim to get it reconsidered for the higher rating w/backdate? or would it be better to go with the increase?
I also dont want to get this tangled up with the reduction proposal which was on the same decision.
70% - PTSD
->50% - OSA (Secondary to PTSD)
30% - Bilateral Pes Planus w/Plantar Fasciitis
30% - Migraines
10% - Tinnitus
20% - Back
0% - bilateral shin splints

USMC A few years ago, I pointed out that in VSO's charter, they promise to "cooperate with VA". Your VSO is doing his best to live up to that and represent the needs of the VA, and not that of th

In my opinion NO. VA just started an (Official Request for Reconsideration) step in the appeals process. Keep in mind that this step doe not do anything to the NOD filing deadline of 12 months from da

Fight to the end. Don't miss the appeals deadline. I don't know if you are able but an IMO/IME would be a good investment if you can. Heh this might be a silly ? but do you have your service medical
