Question
DevilDog12
I filed for an increase of my 30% rating for MDD. My claim was decided in October 2015, with an effective date of April 2014. So, basically I filed for an increase 3 months after the original decision. I have been reading that if you file for an increase within one year of decision, it must be an NOD/Appeal. Is this correct? If so, are they going to treat the request for increase as an NOD/Appeal?
I had a C&P last week for the MDD, and was pretty confident afterwards. However, if I should have filed an NOD, and not an increase, will they even rate it again? The evidence is all there. Medications have been increased by VA, and have been seeing a VA Psych.
I am confused as to how my claim for increase will be treated. Increase or Appeal. Help!

Certainly sounds to me that you are disagreeing with the original rater's SC %. Did you ever post a Redacted copy of your New FDC for Increase. Might help us get a better grip on exactly what you

Yeah, I am going to. I don't see how they can deny me with all my records and VA notes from doctors, but it's the VA, so who knows. If they do, then another NOD will be filed
