Reevaluation Of Issues
if a person has 8 service connected issues; 100%, 10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0 but is beginning to have issues with some of the 10's and zeros, would he be smart to have them reevaluated or not. i'm actually kind of new dealing with the VA and I really don't want to mess up!

Nod To Soc To New Evidence & 2ndary Claims
Hi All, I have a SOC for a partical grant and several issues that the SOC did not address. My C & P found 2ndary issues from my SC conditions. So my question is this: If I file a Form 9 or just a reconsideration due to new evidence and then submitt new 2ndary claims will the VARO WAIT to send my case to the BVA to develop these new claims or will they send it anyway to DC? Thanks, jecsb4

Does This = A Cue?
I have received a SOC that addresses only 2 of my issues. They granted me a partial graant of benifits on appeal...It makes no mention of my other conditions. I received it only 2 weeks after I turned in a request to give me the 60 days for more evidence by signing the form. I looked at the evidence section on the SOC as VIKE17 suggested and it does not list all the medical evidence that I have turned in. So basically here is what I have: 1. Short changed by receiving SOC before the 60 days to submitt new evidence. 2. They did not consider all my evidence in SOC 3. I am still waiting on the "award letter", its been since May 31 when I got the SOC. So that lim…

Agent Orange Question
This may sound like a really dopey question but here goes. How was ao applied? Which branch of the service actually did it? Was it from Army helecopers, Navy planes??? The reason I ask is because my husband was on an aircraft carrier right off the coast. If navy planes dropped the ao, how can VA deny that anyone to not actually set foot on the ground in country could contact ao? Just wondering how this stuff was delivered & who delivered it. Liz

Time Affect On Cue
I am understanding the 10 year and 20 year protection that we have on our SC and rating. I guess my question is if we win on a CUE, and we are awarded an earlier starting date on our SC and rating does our 10 and 20 start now or are we grandfathered back in time to the new start date of our SC and rating?

Why Can't They Give You A Straight Answer?
Why can't they give you a straight answer to our questions? I sent an IRIS requesting the status of my claim. This is what I got, "A response is being prepared. It should be sent to you shortly." WHAT? What is that? Am I suppose to decipher the response? What does that mean?
