First, veterans must look up the medical evidence to prove their disability. This includes X-rays and doctor's reports, as with any other documentation that is related to the veteran's condition.

The first step is to submit the Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office who sent you the decision on Rating. In your Notice of Disagreement you must inform the VA why you disagree with their decision. You don't have to list all the reasons, but you should mention everything you disagree with.
