Question about claim increase

[Remisdad]

I filed a claim increase on all the digits of my left hand as well as a trigger finger claim. My long & ring fingers are service connected & my thumb, index, & little finger are secondary service connected. My last C & P exam I had back on March 16. The FNP wrote in it that my left hand is basically the same as an amputation.  He said I can only use it as a paddle or a pusher. Right now i have limitation of motion on all 5 digits.  Now if they increase all my claims I would be at 80% best I can figure. But loss of use of nondominant hand is 60%.  So would they change my disability to loss of use or just grant the increase. I know I have to have patience dealing with the VA. But I was sitting here thinking & worrying about this & I thought somebody on here might have had something similar. Thanks

It sounds like the examiner stated that you have loss of use. In this case you should receive a K award and the 60% rating.
