Appeal assistance please

[victor Gilkes]

Attention all, I need assistance in writing my appeal for increase.  Below is my written statement.  Please  feel free at add or take away.

   I am requesting an increase to my disability, due to a severity increase in my urinary frequency.  This caused an increase of voiding dysfunction.  I started experiencing an increase in having to go the bathroom at night and during the day. Now I am getting up at night and going to the bathroom at least 5 times each night.  This has cause me to not have a good night sleep in a long time.  During the daytime, I make sure I know exactly where a bathroom is located due to the amount of time I am using a bathroom.

     I started going to the VA Medical hospital in DC to see what assistance  I can get for my issue. The doctor came up with a plan to give me 2 pills to help decrease the amount of times I use the bathroom.  It helps some nights and most nights id does not work.

     The new meds hs caused ED more frequently. This has cause a loss of use.  My sex life is almost gone.  I'm assuming it's one of the side affects.  The meds I am taking are Mirabegron and Tamsulosin. 

     Please pull my treatment records form the Washington DC VA medical center.

An appeal is for a formal denial.

Or maybe you are re-opening a past claim for a higher rating.....

Have you posted the denial here somewhere?

If not please cover your C file #, name, and scan and attach it here.

If it was denied, the VA gave a rationale that needs to be overcome with evidence.

Apparently this is one of your posts:

It helps to stay in the same thread .

That post contained a rational from the decision but we need to see the way the VA worded it.

Victor,

This appears to be a good request for an increase.  Get with a VSO so you file the proper form or use ebenefits to file for the increase.
