Just about ready to submit HLR
I have some questions before I submit my HLR. The document pointing out the errors is so far 38 pages long. Not because there are a ton of errors but that the same errors were repeated. For example they denied an increase for my left knee and right knee under seperate decisions. What I did was listed the left knee decision and pointed out they did not apply Deluca, Mitchell....etc. Then I listed the right knee decision and listed the same things,. I did it that way because I did not want to give them an excuse saying that I did not say I did not point an error out. For example I did not want them to say I pointed Deluca for the left knee and did not do so for …

AMA change in notification process
So on my threads about my first claim under AMA I stated I put this here to track time and the AMA process. My claim for Voiding Dysfunction was filed on May 8 2019 and closed June 16th 2019 (according to VA.GOV) so basically 36 days. I was denied, and will start writing my NOD. What is new besides the speed, is that on Ebenefits yesterday I noticed a new entry under my listed Disabilities. It will be good for others to start tracking this to see if this remains the standard. It was marked Pending Claims. Today after visiting VA.Gov and seeing my claim closed I went to Ebennies and looked under Disabilities and the DENIED claims are alr…

Timeline for Supplemental Claim
I recently filed a claim to increase my service connected sinusitis, which is currently at 0%. My claim was filed 14 APR 2019, and was closed/denied 07 AUG 2019. Upon reviewing my files, the litany of evidence that I submitted to support my claim, which included records from my PCP and ENT showing were I had been to the doctor multiple occasions over the last two years, and where I was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitis and Recurrent Acute Sinusitis just disappeared. I had also submitted a sworn statement from my fiance where she detailed my how many sinus infections per year I have experienced, along with describing my symptoms. Keep in mind that sinusits is rated b…

Can I point out error on HLR form?
As mentioned earlier I was granted sc at 0% but this directly contradicts the VA rating schedule and other VA decisions for my injury. I am going to appeal for a higher rating and dont need to submit new evidence but am wondering if I can point out the error. I want to include a page detailing out why the dro decision is wrong. I know I am supposed to get an informal call from the HLR where I could state this but I would like it in writing. Do you think this would mess up my appeal?

Supplemental Information
I have claim in(filed April 2019) for increase in my service connected psoriatic arthritis of 4 joints. I just got x-ray reports preformed on February of 2018. I stupidly should have submitted these x-rays with the claim but this is the reality I'm in now. The x-rays support my claim for increase and show other joints involved. This information was not included in the claim. The claim is closed and waiting for the decision to arrive. Question is how should I send this information in if the claim returns unfavorable? I just don't understand the difference between an appeal or if you just send in the information. The x-rays were not submitted with the origi…

Retro Pay for EED
I was recently awarded an earlier effective date from 7/2/2019 back to 9/18/2015 for SA. I have already received one check but I do not believe it is enough, I believe it is a few thousand low. I got the check last week. I am also retired military, I should have been awarded some back pay because I went from 40% to 70% (40% is appx $700 per month). Will this come in a separate check or do I need to ask the VA for an audit on how they determined my retro pay? Or do I need to give it still more time for all the possible retro pay to come in? Also if I do ask for a audit for the retro pay which form do I request it on?

VA.gov on Appeals
I am one of those who checks VA.gov on a regular basis. I was looking at an appeal I have with the BVA. Here is what the first screen shows: The second screen shows: I have not received any BBE or the like, but does this mean they approved my appeal? I know these systems have been known to be wrong but I was wondering.
