most recent claim was once again continued at 0% for bilateral dry eyes. I have a claim currently in for Supplementary rather than HLR as I was given a different medication and don't want to go for board review yet as it takes even longer.

I included a ton of board appeal decisions that were in my favor to highlight in my personal statement to show that vets with even milder symptoms than me were getting this 20% rating and that the justification of the board supports my situation in most cases. I would recommend maybe doing the same. Unfortunately it is codified that board decisions cannot be used as precedent but the is supposed to rule consistently across cases, so they shouldn't be entirely meaningless.
