Supplemental vs. new claim

Question:

I filled for GERD and PTSD increase in the past and was denied. I am working with a new doctor now and wanted to know which route I should proceed:  supplemental or new claim route?

I don't know since I don't know anything at all about your claim or appeal. For what it's worth, I urge every veteran who is heading to an appeal of a denied claim to retain a veterans law attorney. The system is complex and VA has hundreds of lawyers on their side just waiting for you and your appeal. It doesn't cost you a dime out of pocket to retain an expert. Click here for more information.
