ok I got all my ducks in a row with it.. I take it to a legion rep, he says he will lose his job if he submitted it. and then my state rep says that is the last step if the nod doesn't go through. I was also told if I submit a cue and it doesnt go through there is no appeals no nothing, I lose my benefits for it!? is this true!?

My disability was granted and listed as Brugada syndrome with AICD implant.... so what do i do? i filed a notice of disagreement and sent them their CFR lol -
Ok so the judge granted service connection for brugada syndrome with aicd implant. It should have been rated at 100%, or am I wrong? they rated it at 10%, so I had to file a notice of disagreement... now I can see myself waiting another 4-5 years for them to fix a very simple mistake? Brugada's Syndrome with implanted automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) 10% Service Connected 12/03/201

the judge didnt put a rating on my decision, he just granted service connection.... every day im wondering and thinkin worse case scenarios... he granted service connection for brugada syndrome... and in his findings he wrote brugada syndrome with aicd implant... but the granted section on says brugada syndrome, with that i fear the rating officer is going to try and screw me on the rating an i will have to appeal and wait another 4-5 years to get it right. i have no movement on Ebennies so im kinda freaking out. Hope all comes out alright but with the VA they seem to do as they please / see fit...

Wait log Entry #1: Well, its been 17 days since judge granted... I think I am beginning to lose my sanity. I check the bank every morning as well as ebennies. I wish I knew what was going on in that regional office. Ive drifted into the mindset of what kind of life I will lead when i receive the benefits.... I think I will dedicate my free time to being there to help the other wounded vets... Well end of log 1-6G out.

Ok today after speaking to the Buffalo, NY regional office. My rep received the judges decision an informed me that he granted my heart condition w/ an AICD implant service connected. Finally after dealing with them since 2012. I understand that an AICD is an automatic 100% rating based of from the CFR. Anyone know how long the buffalo regional office will take to get my rating and benefits rolling? An will they back pay me from when I had the AICD implanted? What benefits will I receive from 100% VA comp?

jwesley replied to jwesley's question in Eligibility - Veterans Compensation Benefit Claims
I appreciate all the input guys, I have been seeing a counselor. I haven't submitted a claim or anything mainly trying to get treated for my heart and back pain... the back is service connected and I am in the midst of a 4 year long appeal for my AICD. -
On MAY 13, 2016, my ebennies was stating Pending Case Dispatch, which explained that it was sending a copy of the decision to my RO, my REP, aswell and me. Any idea on what this shows outcome wise? On MAY 16, 2016, my ebennies showed Appeal Complete. Any idea the timeline in which I will receive my decision papers and does this outcome look good or bad?

jwesley replied to LIL-ROB's question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC
As of April 15th 2016, Ebennies says "with veterans law judge". Any idea on a round about time for him to make his decision? If denied, what is the best course of action? Lawyer? If remanded what should I do? Any input helps thanks! -
