0 vetquest Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Shrek, I wanted to let you know that the second set of attached documents did not post correctly. As far as the skin condition, they rated it under analogy, I am curious if you were looking for a higher rating or if this is ok with you? I am rated for residuals of heat stroke under PTSD. Not really what I was looking for but it allows me a 70% rating so I am good with that. If they rated you for Dercum's disease would it be a higher rating and include the pain? If so I would purse it and request the Board review the decision. The last time I did this it only took three months since my case was already in the que.

0 Lead Moderator ShrekTheTank Posted July 29, 2019 Author Lead Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2019 Ok so check again I think I fixed it So what I am trying to do here is to rate the Dercum's disease as it's own disease as it causes its' own issues. The scaring is secondary to this condition as it has its' own issues with it. From what I can understand of the of the remand the Judge did tell them to remand based on the Basic Rating System for the skin and to leave the scaring alone. Am I reading this correctly?

0 Lead Moderator ShrekTheTank Posted July 29, 2019 Author Lead Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2019 I guess what I am saying is I do not see this as a pyramid condition and neither did the board. They saw the two conditions as separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vetquest Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I got you now shrek. I agree that the two conditions should be rated as separate under the decision by the BVA. This is going to take some research but do not send in the form stating you are happy with the decision to the BVA. They are trying to end around you on this form. I need to do some research and I will get back to you. ShrekTheTank and GBArmy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that your case will go to the front of the line since it is an appeal of a decision already rendered. I had a ten year old appeal that was remanded twice. After the first remand, ea

Thanks Berta, The way they rate the skin did change during my appeal. I am very glad I have a judge who actually cares about what I am talking about. I do find it interesting how much disregard
