GREAT advice guys; thank you for taking the time to help.
I have two things on appeal but I'm looking at opening a new claim. I'm at max percentage for migraine headaches but that's been a long ass fight to get here. Resulted from a training accident (concussion, out for hours, seizures). I started reading up on TBIs on a whim and realized I have a lot of the symptoms like literally seeing spots every single time I turn my head a certain way, difficulty doing complex mental tasks, and re-goddamned-diculous migraine headaches amongst several other known symptoms. The thing is that I hadn't heard of TBIs when I started this process a few years ago.
So, I'm afraid to open the TBI claim until two other appeals go through. The two other appeals should have gone right through the first time; bounced for what reason, I have no idea. It's all right there in my medical record. Frustrating as you guys know.
