Rating Board
I called the VA today and all my DMII secondary claims are at the rating board including a CUE claim I filed. Does this mean that I am not going for any C&P exams. I have pretty extensive documentation for the DMII claims, including medical opinions from my VA doctor saying the conditions are service connected. The VA says they are going to rate all my claims together including the CUE. They are waiting for one more test on my legs. This is pretty fast so I think I will get SC'ed for the DMII claims and denied for the CUE. I filed the claims in September of 2006 and they are already at the rating board.

Question On Dependents Allowance?
Maybe someone who's been thru it can answer. I've a 100% vet that's not receiving for his spouse. When we apply will the VA go back to date of award (they were married at that time) or just the date we apply for her to be added. How about children? Thanx. pr

Va Disability Claims For Iraq And Afghanistan Wars
A little negative opinion here: This is typical VA procedure. Hide the report or document, and then deny that there is a problem for the sake of under-funding the Veterans disability, compensation, and care. These Iraq and Afghanistan War Vets, need continued support. These Veterans do not have the slightest idea of what they are going to go through. Remember standing in the chow line. Well the line is 30+ years long, and only the Veteran, has to wait to be taken care of. Obfuscation, or to make unclear, military records for the purpose of saving money can grow distrust in Government and its military. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20061010/index.htm O…

Question For Jstacy & Berta
In my last C&P the doc stated cervical radiculopathy of bilateral upper extremities, he did not address anything about my shoulder and said the arthritis in my wrist was mild. My question is: can the VA take away the 10% I was awarded for my shoulder (due to trauma) and/or the 10% I was awarded for my wrist (arthitis due to trauma) earlier? I'm worried they will claim these 2 are the same as the cervical radiculopathy. I'm really worried they may lower my percentage. I guess this is due to not feeling like I've gotten a fair shake the other times. Guys I'm tired, I feel like thats what they are hoping for (I'll give up). Its hard having to take a had full o…

ptsd C & P Docs
If we get the right to choose to have a lawyer (S 2694) from pending legislation in Congress-for VA claims- wouldn't a good lawyer find that VA- paid C & P doctors are in a conflict of interest when they perform a C & P? Although many C & Ps are fair and impartial- some of them- in my opinion- reveal down right negligence because they are so far off the mark. If a C & P doctor misrepresents a disabilty as to it's disabling degree ,I consider that to be medical error. Then again- lawyers----- I have a very good friend who is a lawyer and asked me to help him with his VA claim. He doesn't want comp -he is just hoping to get some help with his…

Smc Input Needed
I can't find any specifics on this. By definition, wouldn't a person deemed incompetent for VA purposes fall under the need for Aid & Attendance and thus SMC? A person deemed incompetent to handle finances requires the Aid of a fiduciary to handle finances. If my wife were not my fiduciary then there would be a cost for me or VA for someone to handle my affairs. By USC, a relative performing the Aid neccisary does not exclude a ruling for SMC. Anyway while I don't agree with the finding of "not competent for VA purposes" (I'm the President of a none profit Org. with the checkbook containing the members money, they trust me with this obviously) if the VA is to…

C&p Form For Imo
Im looking for the C&P form to turn in for an IMO so the Doctor knows what information to include so the VA doesnt kick it out and not acknowledge it. Im doing this for a reconsideration of the percentage they awarded me. These IMO's are high dollar but, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to make them look at it.

tinnitus Bet We Have Lots Of Pending Claims Out There !
This claim only deals with Tinnitus as a pending claim -- but I bet there are thousands and thousands of pending claims out there that are different medical issues than Tinnitus. http://www.va.gov/vetapp02/files02/0206519.txt FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The RO has obtained all evidence necessary for an equitable disposition of the veteran's claim. 2. On January 18, 1961, the veteran filed a claim for compensation for poor hearing in his left ear and a constant ringing. The veteran was honorably discharged on January 19, 1961. 3. In May 1961, the RO denied the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for hearing loss, but did not address…
