diabetes Audit

[redmitch]

I was adjudicated for 20 per cent lower leg neuropathy in may, 2016.  Today I found out from my Dr following a painful EMG that I have both upper and lower leg neuropathy.  How do i add this to my previous claim?  Is it a new claim.  I have a claim pending to address an earlier diabetes onset and an audit of benefits I feel were not addressed in the may decision

Peripheral Neuropathy is based on the nerve affected and how badly it affects the leg.

Without knowing what nerves your diagnosis ID's as involved, I cant say anything beyond that.

Since the decision was just in May, 2016, the procedure is to file a NOD disputing the rating, and disputing they did not adjuticate all your issues.
