Hi there everyone, I'm a newbie to this site and forum. I just received an 80% rating from BVA but am curious about my other ratings. I received 50% from GAD/SAD, 50% from sleep Apnea, and 10% tinnitus. Additionally I filed for left foot neuropathy, which was cause from a medical treatment from a military physician. Long story short, the podiatrist over treated a planter wart with liquid nitrogen and gave me frostbite on my left foot. The result, in addition to some pretty substantial scarring, was neuropathy. I included in my submission for this pictures, of the frostbite after treatment, medical notes from physicians following treatment, and had a C&P exam that included the traditional statement of "It is as least as likely as not (50/50 probability) that the veteran's neuropathy was related to military service." Yet I was given a 0% rating for this. I am not trying to be greedy by any means but I am just curious if I was rated fairly in this regard. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions on this. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
