I've decided to ask for increase in Sc conditions plus ask for a couple of secondary claims. Decided to see how I was rated my decision is very complicated. My only concern was I serviced connected for arthritis in all joints and back and granted 100% so I didn’t pay attention to the decision.
I asked for TDIU in 2010 the DRO stated it was moot as I was 100% secular. I’ve added my Disability ratings up and I do not get 100%.
my ratings are 70, 30, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10. This comes to 94.356 from my understanding that’s not 100%. Am I wrong? I have 9 additional 0% that should have been rated at least 10%, 10 years ago, now they should be much higher I’ve had 28 epidural injections in my back, plus my hands and knees. Recently had a discectomy. My 30% I think is worse and would be rated 60% now.
My question if I apply for increase and 2 secondary conditions. Can the VA say oops your not 100% and you owe back pay as I did get mid 5 figures for back pay. Even though the TDIU was moot because of the secular. I can’t lose this income so I’m thinking of not asking for increase but I need SMC. I use a walker and a scooter given by the VA for my ambulatory issues arthritis and other nsc issues ( threw a clot during surgery).
if I apply I’m sure I will need help with forms it’s been almost 10 years since I applied for anything
