If you post the portion of your denial letter that explains your decision we’d be able to help better.
You got connected for 20%, that’s a decent starting point. You can submit supplementals with whatever the letter says your missing (usually nexus, current diagnosis, a private dbq that highlights the terms and situations the VA cares about etc) and as long as you do it within a year it’ll be back dated to your initial ITF date.
I'm probably not a good example but had a few things deferred but I just chose to go with a lawyer and let them handle it. The way I see it out of sight out of mind until something positive comes from it
