I spoke with Betty this morning, and found out my supplemental claim has auto-generated a 5103 request - which means they're asking me for additional evidence, even though I already supplied everything. Below are some questions I sent my VSO, but thought I might get an answer faster here:
Good morning!
My supplemental claim now appears on VA.gov, with a receive date of 2/10.
I called the VA this morning, to see if they needed anything from me, and now I (of course) have questions.
1) They said they sent out a 5103, which is apparently a request for info not in my file. However, I know that was provided to them already, so is the 5103 necessary?
2) I notice now we're appealing the decision for my left knee & shin, nexus my right knee. That is concerning to me because when I reopened the claim, it was against my lower back and left ankle sprain - which are both SCD. The latter claim received a positive DBQ, while the former did not.
3) Do I need to submit the positive DBQ when I receive the 5103?
4) The Rep at the VA informed me that in December there was a DBQ addendum, which apparently is because there was a disagreement between the two DBQs. This concerns me because if they use the "right knee" nexus, that DBQ is less likely than not while the lower back and left ankle DBQ is at least as likely.

I would send the positive DBQ with your 5103, they might have it already but if they do not it could hurt your claim. The VA for some reason generated a 5103 on my last fully developed claim and I ha
