Rapid Appeals Modernization Program (RAMP)
What is RAMP? Launched in November 2017, the Rapid Appeals Modernization Program (RAMP) provides Veterans the opportunity to use the new review process in the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017. The Act, otherwise known as the Appeals Modernization Act, was signed into law on Aug. 23, 2017. RAMP aims to provide eligible Veterans with resolution to their appealed claims as early as possible. RAMP will run through February 2019. At that point, The Appeals Modernization Act will be fully implemented. VA will process RAMP elections as long as necessary to resolve legacy appeals. How does RAMP work with VA’s A…

Has anyone who enrolled in RAMP had a Hearing yet?
Just curious if anyone here who opt for a Board Hearing had a Judge Hearing (Videoconference or Live) yet? I appealed my HLR in October 2018 and was received by VA in early November and have not heard a lick. Wondering if anyone has heard anything about their Hearing date?

RAMP denied, va.gov states service connection granted
I appealed a denial for service connection for two issues last year, received a RAMP opt-in form and signed up. The RAMP appeal was opened and closed three different times and was ultimately pushed through, ending in a closed status on va.gov on March 14. Only after calling Peggy twice and hearing the gentleman at the call center physically print it out, did I actually receive the letter on April 11. Verdict: denied service connection. The screwy thing is that the original appeal remained open on va.gov until March 11. It was then updated as closed with “Service Connection Granted”, and stated that if I was going to receive a rating increase, I would see it in one to two …

Follow the map: Dont use HLR
Alex has posted "the map", and Im unaware of this being posted elsewhere. I suggest you follow it, and avoid the HLR altogether. HLR= Higher level denial I had analyzed the Ramp situation earlier, and previously posted that Vets should not use HLR. Alex Agrees. There isnt an upside to the HLR..just downside. It means you cant submit any new evidence. How do you know that that IMO you paid $2000 for actually arrived at VA, and some employee didn't just press "delete" on it? If you have installed a camera survelliance system at each VARO, and carefully removed the "delete" key from each and every computer at all VARO's, (including laptops that VA execs…

Ebenifits effective date
Good morning everyone, Let me start by saying thank you all for all your input in keeping this community strong. Ok so I have been fighting the fight with va since 2015, originally rated at 20%, I submitted an appeal in dec 2015, than opt in the ramp in June 2018. I received my award of 80% last Thursday and have not received by brown envelope, but when I check ebenifits my effective dates next to my disabilities and the dates are all wack out. Example 1/28/2019, 11/3/18, and 3/4/19. I might be jumping the gun, but has anyone experience something like this. I haven’t received retro pay or anything

Left Knee rating decision under ramp 7 months to decision
Normally I would post this under winning claims, but because this was a claim rated under the ramp system I am listing the results here. First , I don't actually have the envelope in my hands, I am going by what shows on Ebenefits, which in my case has been consistent when listing actual service connected disability. I submitted my left knee claim secondary to my service connected right knee claim on Sept 2016, under the legacy system. I had provided an Independence medical opinion which indicated more likely than not. The C/P examiner however indicated it was less likely than not, and in fact went back ( I think it was ) 32 days later and come up with a diffe…

Pending Notification but Dependents Disappeared
My claim was deferred in Nov 2018 and I was awarded back pay for one condition. The rest of the conditions went on in another appeal (RAMP) . All of a sudden my appeals at BVA were pulled and added to this appeal. In feb I had a C and P for all the deferred conditions and also the BVA appealed ones too. My appeal whet into pending Decision Approval and stayed two weeks, went back to gathering evidence and right back to PDA within 24 hours. On 3/20 it changed to Pending Notification and said it would be done 3/21, I am super nervous now because when I looked under dependents it says “no dependents on award” and they are listed under “not on award”, did I just lose all my b…

duty to assist
So I've had my claim since 2011, I went through RAMP.... basically nothing changed when I got their decision (8 Feb 19) and 3 days later I got a letter from the VA, Evidence Intake Center, Janesville, WI stating, "We completed your request for Higher-level review, and discovered an error in our duty to assist in gathering evidence in support of your claim. We will take action to correct our error and forward your claim to the rating activity for further processing under RAMP." It's now 22 Feb, and I see nothing in Ebenefits or Va.gov. other than it's closed. Is this worth getting excited about?

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
