I'm 70% SC (50% for depression, 40% lumbar spine, 10% + 10% lower radiculopathies). I put in for several secondary and/or aggravation issues which VARO denied way back in 2009, went through DRO review in 2011, then filed Form 9.

Current Status
The Board made a decision on your appeal
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals sent you a decision on your appeal. Here’s an overview of the decision:
Granted
The judge granted the following issues:
If this decision changes your disability rating or your eligibility for VA benefits, you should see this change made in 1 to 2 months.

Can there possibly be any negative consequences to withdrawing them? It's not like I'm going to die of either condition.

I agree that you should continue your claims. The question of whether they should drop IU for a veteran at 65 has been raised by congress but it was put down. We all know that once the cat is out of
