Increase/De Novo

[triman8654]

My last claim was complete Jan 13, 2015.. Since that date I have numerous statements of condition worsening (MDD, somatic pain). I feel they gave a rating much lower than stated in records.

Would filing for Increase be faster than a De Novo.?

i sent in a Intent to File June 16, 2015 but have not completed it, is this the correct way to initiate the above.

Thanks

There are so many ways to get the single disability at 60% or, in his case, one disability at 40% to then qualify for IU.  You can combine a lot of different ways.  VA will overlook the combo options too.
