Question
Joe Tex
I searched the forums but did not see this in the appeals section.
I have a pending appeal for my right foot for service connection, and I'm in the process of sending a statement to the Board of Appeals.
My question is can I ask the Appeals Board for a percentage rating prior to winning the appeal for right foot service connection.
My reasoning is, if I just send the Appeals Board my statement without requesting a percentage and I win the appeal for right foot service
connection, then I might have to file another appeal if the RO gives me a lower percentage, and wait another 5 years for that appeal.
I'm unable to find any information on filing an appeal for service connection, and at the same time requesting a percentage.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

You might also consider a mental health claim since chronic pain/depression are mental health issues. Do you use a walker or a cane? Next time I see a VA doctor I would be using a walker if I were y
