  1. I Called Bob

    Hey, Vets. This works great. I called Bob on Wednesday. Thursday morning the BVA gomer calls to find out whazzup. Then today the DRO calls up to say they are doing my DRO (which I didn't ask for) on my NOD of my CUE denial for a rating reduction. VA Seattle is 545 days out on DRO reviews. I submitted the NOD on 4/30/2014. The DRO asked me what I wanted. 100% from 1994 and SMC S. http://asknod.wordpress.com/2014/10/03/vasec-what-happens-when-you-call-bob/ onward thru the fog. Vote for Bob.

  3. Appeal for PTSD/MST, MDD denial

    February 26, 2016 at 11:49 am I am looking for a successful attorney who is very familiar and experienced with appeals for PTSD/MST and MDD. I have a diagnosis from my VA psychologist of PTSD/MDD, and a NEXUS letter from her. I have medical records from sick call in the Navy where I complained of stress and stomach pain which provider noted was believed to be due to work issues. I was prescribed Librax and Mylanta for my illness. I was denied in the basis of not enough evidence to prove stressor occurred. NO C&P EXAM WAS EVER ORDERED!!! Thank you all so much for any help and advice. -

  4. expeditiously remands

    This may help some? but its hard to ask VA about remands and why they go back and forth. BVA TO AMC BACK TO THE BVA, THERE LITERALLY Playing around with your claim as you get older filing a Extro- writ will shake the tree but it probably is the best thing to do if your claim keeps going back and forth and you sit there and wait &wonder...but a writ will make them get off the lazy butts and work your claim http://thomasandrewslaw.blogspot.com/2011/02/when-does-va-handle-remand.html ......................Buck

  6. Next Phase -Filing the NOD--Any Advice?

    Vets: I'm finally at the next phase of my original claim which is the Notice of Disagreement (NOD) and am happy about how my claim turned out so far. Frankly, no one really ever expects to get everything that they request the first time out the gate? I requested the C-File almost 7 months ago so I would have it for this phase but so far, the C-File is a "no show"? Over the last year or so, I've read about NODs and the options that one has for an appeal. My original claim was finally finished yesterday with a 10% SC bump up for TBI with headaches and cognitive issues. I was hoping to take my C-File and make an appointment to visit Dr. Ellis to get some IMOs/IMEs com…

  10. sleep apnea appeal

    I'm a newbie here, but at the advice of my VSO I claimed and then appealed that same denied claim for OSA. I spent almost 30 yrs in the USAF and didn't get tested until a year after I got out. I didn't read any websites like this because my VSO couldn't believe it got denied, but after reading all this I can see why it got denied and the appeal will get shot down as well! I don't have it tied to any other SC condition?! How can that VSO even have a job there? All I have are the records from a private pulmonologist saying I have OSA and RLS, plus his PA filled out the DBQ and stated it indeed started while I was active. Oh and I have a lay statement from my wife. I …

  12. Blood Disorder - Polycythemia Vera, Myelofibrosis

    Hello forum, I am writing behalf of someone I love dearly. Service member is retired Army, served 23 years and upon retirement was diagnosed with a blood disorder, Polycythemia Vera, later Myelofibrosis, and based on my research it is likely that leukemia will be next. Service member has filed for VA disability based on what is believed to be a service connected disease. Service member MOS dealt with microwaves, thus greater exposure to RF. Service member served as NBC NCO. Because of the rarity of this disease it poses difficulty in presenting a case. I have been doing research in order to submit a stronger case to VA. One interesting piece I came acro…

  13. NOD timeline

    So I feel like I should know this answer (because I am dealing with the VA ha!) but I wanted to see what anyone else thought. I filed my claim in Feb 2015, denied one of my claims and received letter in May. Sent in NOD and all paperwork that went along with it in June, which it was received around the 9th. At one point, ebenefits had an estimated date of completion, but after the update, one of many, there is no longer a date. My status on the appeals page is "appeal pending-notice of disagreement" and that has been that way for as long as I can remember. The location is at "originating VA office". A couple weeks ago, I emailed the VA and got a scripted email back say…

    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.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg 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.
