Granted 30% asthma according to AB8 letter. (From 06-03-2011)

03-20-16. Received SOC regarding headaches. 

03-21-16 Submittef rebuttal to SOC and fired VSO. (Did not follow remand instructions/failed to consider nexus for migranies related to service connected asthma, rhinitis, nasal blockage, deviated septum never addressed).  

Have not received official rating yet. Also did not receive retro payment or new monthly adjustment for April. 

Damn VA. Real good at sending BS denials. Not so good at getting Veterans their entitlements when proven wrong.

We won the main claim, which was asthma. We were denied on the secondary conditions only because they didn't have to look at the secondary nexus. (They decided the secondary's days before approving the asthma).

We filed the NOD already for the secondary's which I expect to win on as well. We didn't get everything but we are pretty confident they will grant all conditions if not at the regional level than when it gets sent back to BVA for final review. Ultimately we are extremely satisfied with where things are at.
