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!

Soliz-

Quick question for you....It sounds like you were notified on a claim closing individually, is that the case?  I have over 12 in and was trying to figure out if they would do all and then notify me or as each one closed, notifying me possibly up to 12 different times....

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.

 

So confusing!!

Yes.  The Supplemental Claim lane allows you to submit new evidence, while the HLR does not.

The VA treats each diagnosis as a separate claim for purposes of determining service connection and effective date.  Then, depending on whether you are approved for a single or multiple service connected conditions, you will be assigned a single or combined disability rating percentage.

In other words, you can appeal any individual or multiple claim denial.  Just be sure to specify in your Notice of Disagreement which claim you are referring to.
