I feel so lost on this process. I applied before I separated and was assigned 80%. Went back to claim unclaimed issues with the DAV and got 90%. I eventually went for an increase on current issues (again with DAV) and was challenged on 3 of my worsening issues. DAV wasn’t every helpful at explaining much and I felt so alone in the process. I fought back and was decreased back to an 80%. Now I feel a bit silly for this but I’m scared to file. I depend on this money to survive since my disabilities impact my ability to work. Any one else ever had to overcome this or have any advice?
