Appeal question

[Soliz]

Hi all!

 

I originally filed for about eight things.  I have received a decision on all but one.  The last one was deferred.  My question - can I appeal a decision on a couple conditions, even if I still have one claimed condition deferred?

 

thank you!

If you have received an SOC yes you can appeal it.  You should appeal as soon as possible in my opinion.

You can appeal a "finally decided" issue, yes, even if you were awarded some, denied some and deferred others.  You can also appeal an "award", by appealing the disability percentage or the effective date.  But you can not appeal deferred issues or remands.

Oh, okay.  So you suggest the path where you can submit more evidence?

Yeah, go with Supplemental lane, with more evidence but, make sure it’s new or relevant to your appeal.

If I’m wrong, someone will correct me and provide better advise. With the new AMA, it can be confusing.

What lane are you choosing? Just asking.

I think higher level review.  My colitis they denied because it is not part of gulf war syndrome, but I think they should have considered it secondary to my rated PTSD.  And my cysts, they completely ignored three documented in my records that I turned in.  Any thoughts or experience wit the new appeals?
