I am currently rated at 20% for
8521-8520 PREVIOUSLY RATED AS RIGHT LOWER EXTREMITY RADICULOPATHY OF THE SCIATIC AND EXTERNAL POPLITEAL NERVES ASSOCIATED WITH INTERVERTEBRAL DISC SYNDROME AND DEGENERATIVE ARTHRITIS WITH
SCOLIOSIS, SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY, AND THORACOLUMBAR STRAIN.
I also have polyneuropathy in my feet, when I look at the nerve matrix for the VA it says for these five nerves "Common Peroneal", "Superficial Peroneal", "Deep Peroneal", "Tibial", and "Posterior Tibial" - "Seperate Evaluation is Prohibited, part of the Sciatic Branch"
My feet are numb, they have the burning, tingling, and stabbing sensations all the time. My feet bother me all the time, especially when I try to sleep.
So my question is, is it possible to to have my percentage raised from 20% to 40% or higher?
I know when I do apply I will also ask for for an SMC K for my feet - this might be a long shot but I will try.

that is frustrating. 😞 Under 38 CFR 3.327(b)(2), their attempt to reduce would mean that something in your record is "supposed" to be so significantly improved that it warrants a re-examinatio
