Hello, and thanks in advance for replies.
In 2012, I submitted a claim for Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis. (I had multiple surgeries...crusting...discharge...polyps, blockages...got it all).
The result was SC at 30% for rhinitis, (which is 30% with polyps, or 10% with blockage or 0% with no symptoms), and no mention of sinusitis at all, which has a maximum of 50%, and that is commensurate with my problems.
I filed for reconsideration, and my ENT provided a thorough, easy to understand explanation in support of all the other records on how they are in fact 2 separate conditions.
I was successful, and granted SC for Sinusitis at 50%. I was also granted SC for rhinitis, but at 0%.
I was now well past a year, retired for over a decade, tired from all the Nexus record collection etc....and quite frankly....kind of wore out from the process and frustrated with the situation, and tired of dealing with it.
Fast forward a few years....with a couple more surgeries under my belt, and a friend tells me I could file for an increase....so I go to Ebenefits and look at my record. To my amazement, It says I am 50% for "Sinusitis WITH MULTIPLE POLYPS" !!!!
Polyps aren't even in the rating criteria for sinusitis !! They should have been with the Rhinitis the whole time....giving me the 30 %.
Would this be a CUE?
Thanks

Are you still within the appeal period? It sounds like that has passed. I agree with Broncovet- and not even sure what you would appeal. However I suggest you go to the BVA web site and use
