Incorrect Effective Date
I'm in the process of an appeal for an earlier effective date on a recent increase in disabilty compensation, and I'd like to get an opinion on how they apply the dates for my specific situation. I filed a claim for a skin disability in October of 2001. The VA granted the service connection and assigned a rating of 10% in Feburary of 2003. In March of 2003 I filed an NOD stating that I felt the condition warranted a 60% rating. They came back and stated my condition increased to 30% and they made it effective to October 2001 (date of original claim). I filed another NOD within the one year time frame and they denied the claim with a Statement of the Case in June of…

Panic Stricken! Lost A Hearing Aid!
I have been wearing only my left (better ear) hearing aid for a few days because I had some swellinmg and tenderness in my left ear. This morning I checked my pockets for it and came up empty! I called back to work and asked if anyone had found one - no luck. I've searched the house with no results. Checked the washer and dryer, clean and dirty clothes, the area where I put them at night and anywhere it could have fallen from there I don't know what to do! I have been thinking about starting by calling my VSO. Thought I'd ask here first. I've been issued hearing aids since the early or mid 80's and this is the first time this has happened. I've had severa…
