New evidence for IBS

[ozboi]

So I was given a 0% SC rating for IBS (which is BS BTW, the examiner botched the C&P).

How do I go about submitting new evidence to increase my disability rating, while retaining the original claim date?

Thank you!

I couldnt get the No permission thing deleted... dont know why it is even  there.

The Intake center address is 

Evidence intake center
PO Box 4444
Janesville WI 53547-4444
fax 844-5317818

or you can upload evidence to your ebenefits account.

What was the date of the denial?

The one year appeal period runs from the date of the letter of the RO denial.

Thank you all for responding back....

My decision is date on June, 2016

Here is the explanation of why I was granted a 0% SC IBS:

We have assigned a noncompensable evaluation based on : Alternating diarhea/constipation.

A higher rating evaluation of 10% is not warranted unless there are moderate symptoms demonstrated

by frequent episodes of bowel disturbance with abdominal distress.

 

I am going to my VSO tomorrow after my therapy at the Vet center and ask him which route to go with.

I just want this to be as easy to do as possible....

Hello all,

Spoke to my DAV VSO today and he told me that to make things easier to just request an increase of rating for IBS, he also told me that would cancel my initial claim date, which I do not want to do.

I am so lost at this, and I don't know how to go at this......

So far I have written up a VA Form 21-4138 (Statement in support of claim) stating that my rating is not the proper rating.

Pointed out on VA Form 21-4138 that C&P examiner did put down "Chronic abdominal cramping" on my C&P exam.

Pointed out on  VA Form 21-4138 how my stomach cramps attacks and stomach distress are affecting my daily life and work.

Pointed out on  VA Form 21-4138 that my rating is closer to 30% than 0%.

I should mail this VA Form 21-4138 plus my evidence to:

Evidence intake center
PO Box 4444
Janesville WI 53547-4444
fax 844-5317818

correct?

Can I also upload it at Ebenefits and mail them the VA Form 21-4138?

Thanks to all!

Hello Ozboi,

Totally up to you what you want to do but I personally would file an NOD VA Form 21-0958.  This takes longer (12-18 months).  You have one year from your decision date to send in your NOD and any new and material evidence.  Get some strong evidence to submit to them when you file the NOD.
