    Is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome ratable?

    My sinus tachycardia was apparently not ratable. I had a tilt table test today and believe I met the criteria for POTS (heart rate went from 90s to 120s and became light headed) although the tech would only say a physician would make the determination. I've seen people here rated for sinus...

    Just received my ratings (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/Migraines/Depression/hypothyroidism)

    PEBLO just messaged me letting me know I got 60% DoD 90% VA. While I'm far from upset, I'm oddly not happy either.

    Disputing C&P exam

I asked the peblo how to dispute it and she said I'd have to take it up with my VA...

    Letter of Exception

    Wasn't sure where to post this so I'm going here. I'm going to be submitting my letter of exception and I was wondering if there was anyone here willing to read it over and tell me if it's ok. I don't want to post it to the thread though so I'll send it to anyone willing.
