To Scream Loudly Cue Or Not

[oldman273]

I had a claim back in 2002 for both knees and hip SC claim on my SMR which clearly showed history of injuries during active duty and surgery after service RO claimed that my workmans comp was reason for knees and hip claim. Never checked with SS or My last employer just "assumed". The list of errors the pro bono (?) lawyer listed is just error after error. Now that the case was remanded back down to the same hospital I am sure to get the same person who screwed up the first time. I have had every one of my claims go through this guy and he always low balls me on my claims. Frustrated as I am happy with Lawyer who won the case but the Lawyer is not that familliar with VA system. I am pretty sure the claim is coming up this year sometime but who knows how long the RO will get the file moving.

I don't know but you should continue to research it. As long as the claim is open you can't ask for CUE

Thanks did not know the Cue could be set off while it was open. Another example of the knowledge I have on this board

Reread my earlier post I said you can't ask for CUE when claim is open.

I'm confused.

Did you "win" a claim?

Why is the claim at the hospital?

If you "won" then why would the claim be coming up this year sometime?

Cues are for final unappealed decisions. CUE is your last ditch. They are hardest to win.
