    What are chances of VA upgrade based on PDBR findings?

    Hello All, I was med discharged from the navy in 2008 at 10% and severance. I knew this was bogus at the time, but I had little recourse. The PDBR got me upgraded to 30%. Back in 2008, the VA also rated me at 10%. I think they were basing that on what the Navy had decided. So now I have 30%...

    Would using a highlighter to highlight relevant diagnoses and injuries in my MIL med records and bringing it to my C&P Exams be a good idea? Would it be helpful to the person/doctor/NP to find the relevant info faster for my claim?
