Question
huskerfanfl
I finally received the decision on the Notice of Disagreement that I filed last March. I had appealed for my back, blurred vision in my left eye, and hypertension. All three were denied. The logic that they used in the explanation was solid, and I have to say that I agree with the decision. I had hoped that one of them would get approved, but it was not to be. I could appeal, but like I said, I agreed with their assessment. When I filed the NOD, I was not real sure about the rating criteria, but have learned so much since I joined this site that I figured out that the initial rating was correct and was tempted to ask the NOD be dropped but figured I might get lucky.
I have since sent in new claims for depression/anxiety and sleep apnea with use of CPAP. I also asked for increased compensation for my back (currently 10%) right knee (currently 10%) left knee (currently 0%) and right ankle (currently 0%). All have gotten worse in the 2 years since the initial rating.
The depression was diagnosed in August and was connected to my service disabilites by a VA psychiatrist. The sleep apnea may be harder to prove but I am going to get a letter from my pulmonologist saying that I had it in service based on the symtoms I had then (allergys, night sweats, lack of sleep, frequent nighttime urination).
