Just found a boo boo

allansc2005 · November 19, 2016

Going over my C-File this morning, a retired army buddy of mine found an award error from 2008. Here's how it went down:

In 2008, I received a 10% disability award for Dizziness and Occasional Staggering, 38 CFR 4.87- ear, 6204, Schedule Of Ratings.

My buddy having the same condition, was rated at 30%, so we did some digging, and found out that this condition is ONLY rated at 30%!

The Schedule of ratings is the LAW in sure!

Now, in view of the above, how do I bring this error to the VA's attention? What forms or format?

I use Ebenefits, and will be filing a Fully Developed Claim for an unrelated worsening condition.

Thanks

I am so glad you have a good sense of humor!

If I didnt have one ,I would be in a rubber room by now, after decades of dealing with the VA.

I have said here many times...if you dont have PTSD yet, the VA can give it to you.

:wink: You only live once, so why walk around whining and crying all the time?

Berta,

Got my CUE filed, return receipt requested, thanks!

Now on another note, as I was filling out a fully developed claim on my Ebenefits page, one of the questions deals with active duty military pay.

Not sure why they are asking for that information, but what do I tell them?

Hell I haven't been on active duty since 1990! :ohmy:

Thanks.
