After 50 years I received a 100% disability rating. At 73 years of age I was awarded it about a month ago.
After 50 years I received a 100% disability rating. At 73 years of age I was awarded it about a month ago. Prior to then I received a letter from the Treasury Department stating they didn't have my banking info available if I was awarded a pension. Turns out they did. I had to call the number given to verify it. The gentleman I talked to told me how it can take 6 to 8 years for an appeal. WOW! That was depressing. He said the Washington office alone had 4 or 5 staffers and handled 30,000 claims. I wrote to Senator John McCain telling him what I had learned. With no reply necessary.

This link has a PDF attachment for the Waiver of Regional Office Consideration that is used when you submit additional information / evidence to the BVA.

Man so I am looking at the granted for the 70% for adjustment disorder. I forgot I use my service records to reopen this. Is the effective date the date of the services records. It was denied in 2001. But my case go back to 1993 service because the va never cretifed my appeal to the board back then.

? Options For Bva
I initially chose to have a Travel Board hearing for my appeal. I received letter asking if I wanted to choose other options which might be quicker: Video-conference, or live hearing in Washington. Any advice as to which option is the best choice, and if it would be significantly sooner. The RO is also very far, so going to Washington could be an option. Does a live hearing offer advantage over a videoconference ? Will waiting for Travel hearing be significantly longer, as the VA implies ?

ptsd ....day At The Regional Office....seeking Those That Have Been Through Similar
Hope everyone is getting through their week and staying warm. Had yet another rough night followed by an appointment down at the Denver Regional Office. Need some clarification if any of you have the time and would truly be appreciated. 1.
