I asked for an increase for my DMII and was denied because the doctor did not specify that I needed to limit activities. The thing is I was awarded for severe to moderate neuropathy in both hands and feet. I am already limited in activities due to the PN. Do you think I have a shot at an appeal when I make that argument? I can't even walk around in the grocery store due to pain in my feet and I drop things all the time due to nerve damage in my hands and arms. The neuropathy is by far the worse disability I have and it is a result of DMII. I want them to reconsider their logic. I know that is asking a lot from these guys at VA central.
