Hello all, first post here. I have a question about the reconsideration process, and possible outcomes. Ill also post my timeline for reference. I was initially denied TBI due to not being service connected, even though I suffered 5 concussions while in service. I have cognitive effects, memory loss. I found some of the older medical records from before everything went digital, and at the advisement of my VSO, I filed for a reconsideration. Right now Im in the gathering of evidence phase, and my VSO old me that it "needs rating board attention".So my questions are 1,is it a possible positive that it needs rating board attention, and 2, with my current ratings, is it possible for them to grant me 100% scheduler, or will they reduce one of my other ratings if I get granted SC for TBI?
11/22/14-original claim filed
11/16/15- decision received
90% combined rating
50% sleep apnea
50% severe tension headaches
20% chronic lower lumbar sprains
10% tinnitus
10% right knee loss of strength after surgery
10% right hip condition
TBI DENIED not Service Connected
12/22/15- reconsideration for TBI filed
1/13/16- moved to "pending decision approval"
