I emailed the VA as to the status of my cases as I was told on the phone that it was categorized as an increase for the 1151 and that I would be hearing from them within 60 days . thought I might bet a better response from a email ,this is what they said..,my claims file is with the Pre-Determination team .My cases that are under appeal will be addressed AFTER my current 1151 claim and my claim for IU are completed. Went on to say that a VCAA letter will be sent for IU and once they receive that and any other information I wish to summit for IU that my claims file will then be sent to the rating team to address the issues of 1151 and IU following the completion of those claims my file will then be directed to the appeals team for action on my appeals.
Now I am wondering why they will not address what is on appeal until after my 1151 claim is resolved and why they are going to address the issue of IU with the 1151 as I am not claiming the IU issue with or because of the 1151 claim . IU was claimed because of another issue that is under appeal.
My question is IF the say I am IU because of the 1151 and grant it because of that then would that make it a mute issue for what I claimed it for in the first place? If so then as a 1151 claim is an "as if" SC then I would not be able to get benefits for my family .the 1151 will be PT if granted since the blindness is not reversible. If IU is granted based on what I claimed if for and the 1151 then it would be possible for my family to receive benefits. am I making any since here or am I just reading to much into this.
