Jim's Reply:

Yes, you may file any secondary claim you believe is legit. Whether you can win such a claim depends on a lot of things. First up, you'll need an expert physician who agrees with you and who will review your records and write all that into an IMO.
 

The Independent Medical Opinion is the best option I know of when we need to win a VA disability claim. Learn more here.  https://www.vawatchdog.org/imo-ime-medical-opinions-exams.html
