"but what got me is this ro failing to cretify to the bva. doe this mean that bva has to make a decision on my 1994 claim to complete it. or would the dro 2001 complete my claim."

When a claim is transferred to the BVA -I think you mean the Certification to the BVA they have to put on a I-8,

An I-8 ( I will try to find one or the link and post it here)

has a check list of all the things the VA supposedely did prior to transfer.

It is a CYA document.They deliberately check off the Yes boxes when their answer should be No.This utter lack of responsibily is one reason for the backlog.I feel the I-8 can be basis of legal error too.

They didnt do any of the things they said they checked off as done on my I-8 for my AO death claim. I raised this issue to the BVA in addendum to my I-9.

Does your C file reveal a copy of their I-8? You might have to send your VARO a FOIA to get it.

I am not sure however in they used the same I-8 format in 1994 however-

those were the days of denied due to not being a well grounded claim.

I got off the track here- if they failed to certify the case to the BVA I would assume that the RO still holds jurisdiction over the claim and the decision.

i did a cue of my 1994 decision. it got to the bva and they dismissed it and said there can not be a cue of a open claim.

i put in for recosideration. told it is with judge now. with lawyers now. with judge now. with lawyer. get it. i know this is bull.

ok this what happen in 94. RO failed to certify the issues to the board so it sat there for all those years.

I put in paper was granted 60% for same issue, and granted IU 2001. i have never worked. i know by my effective date should be 1994.

but what got me is this ro failing to certify to the bva. does this mean that bva has to make a decision on my 1994 claim to complete it? or would the DRO 2001 complete my claim?

Your "claim" remains open and pending adjudication by the VARO in the first instance, (38 CFR 3.160 Status of Claims).

The BVA should send it back to the RO, and instruct the RO to adjudicate your claim.

Can you post the most recent BVA decision? ~Wings

there is no final denial of a pending, unadjudicated claim, then, as

part of an appeal of an

effective-date decision, a claimant may argue that the proper effective

date for his subsequently

grantedclaim maybe anchored in the [url=http://search.uscourts.cavc.gov/isysquery/f5164863-2734-488c-ba45-698c2b5493f8/1/doc/#hit13#hit13]pending<A href=http://search.uscourts.cavc.gov/isysquery/f5164863-2734-488c-ba45-698c2b5493f8/1/doc/#hit15#hit15"> , unadjudicated claim. See

Ingram, supra (stating that

as part of an appeal of an effective-date decision, an appellant can raise

the fact that he filed an

original claim for the same disabilityat an earlier date than the claim

that was subsequentlygranted);

Hanson, 9 Vet.App. at 32 (noting that an effective date for a claim filed

in 1991 could be "anchored"

in an unadjudicated claim filed in 1984).

The determination of the proper effective date is a finding of fact. See

Hanson, supra. The

Court reviews such determinations using the "clearly erroneous" standard

of review.

38 U.S.C. § 7261(a)(4). When applying this standard, "if there is a

'plausible' basis in the record for

thefactual determinations of the [board], ... [the Court] cannot overturn

them." Gilbert v.Derwin
