I received my rating decision for PTSD and got 50% for it. The local Vet Center I've been going to for help promised me a letter to support my claim but I still don't have it (should get it next week). When I mentioned the rating I received the counselor was a bit upset and thought I should have been rated at least 70%.
I would like to submit a Reconsideration for the rating level and submit the Vet Center letter along with it as new and material evidence. My question is how do I do that? Submit a DRO? Is there a specific form for reconsideration? If I submit a DRO would I state I wanted a reconsideration somewhere on the form?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! For what its worth I was a medic in Vietnam with an Infantry outfit in 1969 with a combined rating of 80%...10% for tennitis, 60% for CAD (Agent Orange Presumptive) and 50% for PTSD.

If the denial was in May this is technically a Reconsideration. Did the VSO file it that way, referring them directly to that evidence? GOOD for you for taking the time to find that order and
