Q: unfavorable decision from 2017, in civil court judge wants amended complaint, new evidence involving 100% and Smc which
dates back prior to alleged onset date even though SSA not bound by another federal agency, which I feel would have added more weight to my case, which at time of judgment only had 70% from va and judges rational took into account and decisions I have make the judges rational look like cherry picking to fit narrative of denial in case
A:
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with your court case. It might help to consult with a lawyer who can review the details and advise you on how to best amend your complaint with the new evidence you have.
Including the additional evidence related to your 100% and SMC could strengthen your position, especially if it supports your claims before the alleged onset date. A legal professional can help ensure that this information is presented effectively to address the judge's concerns.
Additionally, discussing the previous 70% VA decision and how the new evidence impacts your case could provide a more comprehensive view for the court. Taking these steps may improve your chances of a more favorable outcome.
