advice?

Just received my rating of 20% DOD and 100% va.

In order to deal with doing a VARR and having my 10% back (which should be higher idk how its only 10%) increased, i want to add my second leg to the mix. They gave me 10% for my left leg sciatica and did not use my right leg that as the same percentage and conditions. I have a few mentions in my medical history of both legs being weak, and both are a reason i need a cane to walk at 27 years old.

Best way to articulate this and get my right leg added to the unfit list via a board?

So based on your post, you are at the DA199 phase/end of the PEB portion. You should be able to request a VARR at this stage (Veterans Rating Reconsideration). You can also request a formal board at this point. It is definitely in your best interest to do so because the difference between 20% and 30% DoD is significant.

Yeah I think at this point when ODC reaches back out im going to ask for a board or a summary review to see about adding the other leg.

I would personally try and challenge the 10% rating with an IMR or something because that's pretty low without seeing your DBQ's. The time to challenge that though would have been earlier on. Have you talked to legal at all throughout the process?

I just got the results yesterday so I dont think it'd be too late. But after speaking with odc they agree the leg should be added so that's the route we're going for. Ill keep dr notes and stuff for the future on case the va ever drop me from 100 I'll send updated evidence for stuff to get it back up
