Appeal IMO

[SPO]

I just got what is basically an IMO from my doctor for my appeal.  Wanted to get some opinions.  The only thing I really notes is that she didn’t directly address the link between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, but I have 2 other opinions in my file that do.  As a note I was denied for specifically for no diagnosis on everything but my back, hip, and right ankle.

Is there anyway to delete things I’ve uploaded 

I think you can go into edit and just remove it.  Click on the three dots to the upper right of the post. You don't have to delete the post just the letter.

So here is the final version I got from her last night, manually redacted this time.  I think I looks pretty good, especially when you look at here long list of credentials.  She is a board certified rheumatologist, director for the psoriatic arthritis program at a very prestigious hospital, her clinical expertise is psoriatic arthritis, she is a professor of medicine, and has been published multiple times on this subject.  I have her full list of credentials ready to submit to the board.   That is compared to the VA's nurse practitioner who practices family medicine.

Yes, everything is redacted and this letter is better than nothing but I still wish it would say service connected psoriasis.
