I received my PDBR results last week. They rated me 20% under the closest code they could find for my bilateral plantar fasciitis post surgery. Today I found out that the VASRD was updated to include a code for plantar fasciitis.
“ 5285 Plantar fasciitis:
No relief from both non-surgical and surgicaltreatment, bilateral30
No relief from both non-surgical and surgical treatment, unilateral20
Otherwise, unilateral or bilateral10”
I had surgery with no relief so it should have been rated at 30%. Would an appeal be possible based on this? Thank you!
