Question
Holllie Greene
Hello All,
Yesterday, I received part of my claim decision. I was reduced from 60% on neurogenic bladder to 40%...this concerns me as I see it possibly affecting my SMC-L. Also, there was an increase of 20% for anxiety disorder effectively making this a "wash". So, I call the 1-800 number this morning and tell the rep (who was helpful) and he told me I will soon receive a letter for an exam for cataracts (I have a 0% rating for cataracts due to all of the steroid drugs I have taken over the years for MS flares).
Strange that I have a ratings decision from 2016 increasing my neurogenic bladder from 20% to 60%, it also states "static", what is a person to do? I do not understand why these ratings contradict each other, it is not like there is a cure for MS.
Obviously, I do not agree with the rating reduction and should I file a NOD or as the rep mentioned a "reconsideration"? Really? A reconsideration? Yeah, right. I was not born yesterday.
Thanks for reading my rant and if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
I am 100% P&T plus L. Turned 56 years of age several moths ago and have been P & T since 2003.
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving.
H.
