DBQ redacted.pdf It looks favorable on the DBQ. It will end up getting sent back for an addendum to the examiner for a nexus of opinion and a rationale. It'll delay the decision two weeks or more depending when the examiner does the addendum and if the nexus contains the minimum threshold of "at least as likely as not" the claimed condition is due to or the result of military service. Although, sometimes the raters do use the DBQ only to make their decision. Don't be surprised if you see in ebenefits your claim go from preparation for decision to back to gathering of evidence. It's not uncommon for a claim to go back and forth, but it creates unnecessary frustration and anxiety. I'll be in the same boat and at the mercy of how the rater handles my re-opened flat foot claim. Yay! Good times.lol. tazntaylr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
