Question
airforcevet2
VA denied my 1151 claim based on comp and pen nurse's medical opinion - claim involved treatment for infectious disease and nurse at comp and pen lists place of employment as a dermatology clinic. She disputed what my infectious disease specialist stated (who is a VA chief of staff) and gave all the weight in judgement to the nurse.
Any way to fight this other than getting an independent medical opinion?
Thank you.

Normally the VA raters would place more credence in a Specialist and a chief of staff than a mere Nurse practitioner ...so there must be some question as the the medical opinion of the specialist. Mos
