Okay, so on 4 August I submitted my FDC
Approved 5 May 2015
80%. Life is good :)
Today, I get a letter from the VA saying they reviewed my claim, and disagreed with the 20% I received for Hemorrhoids, that it should be 70% overall and if I want I can submit evidence to keep my rating.
So, at my C+P the nurse noted in the record loss of sphincter control, moderate leakage when doing the C+P for hemmorrhoids. Under 7332 on CRR38 Part 4 that is 20%.
But VA review makes no note of it, stating that my hemorrhoid condition is insufficient for anything over 0%
Apparently South Dakota RO gave me the 20% for the leakage, but the VA didn't like that.
Is that because it falls under loss of sphincter control instead of hemorrhoids? I would think that if it is noted under the C+P exam for hemmorhoids that was conducted, that it should be compensable, as it has been. Is it normal for a completed disability to be reviewed 2-3 months after it's done? Hell, I thought he VA was backlogged!
So, I will respond with the evidence about the leakage and hope they will give me the 10% that it would fall under which would keep my 80% total finding intact.

They are calling "CUE" on you. They called it Clear Uncontestable Error. You need to make them prove it, the burden is on them, now. Remember, the decision maker is supposed to have all the evidenc

Unless the colonoscopy MD commented directly on the lack of your condition, then there is nothing there. Sphincter control really has nothing to do with fissures or hemorrhoids. It amounts to a weak
