Why Most Veterans Get Underrated
- Pushing through pain during ROM tests (military training works against you)
- Minimizing symptoms ("It's not that bad" kills your claim)
- Not mentioning flare-ups and worst days
- Not knowing the DBQ form the examiner uses
- Confusing VA terminology (nexus, secondary, aggravation)
- Missing appeal deadlines or choosing wrong appeal lane
