Question
Jimmer
In a recent court case decision Sharp vs. Shulkin, the courts issued a favorable ruling pertaining to disability claims for individuals with back, shoulder, neck, and joints. The court said the current rating is "outdated". The court states "The board must obtain a new VA medical examination and opinion that adequately addresses functional loss if any during "flare-ups". The court will set aside portions of the March 16, 2016, board decision denying evaluations in excess of 10% FOR RIGHT, LEFT, SHOULDER, HANDS, ELBOWS, JOINTS, FOREARMS. BACK and remand those matters for additional development and readjudication consistant with this decision". This means that individuals with disabilities of the muscular-skeleton area stand a much great chance of receiving more then a 10% disability. The case is dated 9/6/2017, and I just cam across it.
