When I filed for VA disability 8/1996 I was only rated for one condition, pulmonary vascular disease with a 60% rating. Fast forwarding 2011 – I submitted a claim and was granted 40% bilateral disability for VA code 7121. Here’s my question: Why wouldn’t VA rate me back in 1996 for VA code 7121 when it was in the clearly stated in my PEB decision from the navy. However, they rated me for it in 2011. I think the VA failed to properly adjudicate my disability back given the medical documents and PEB decision. Does this falls in the line of a CUE? Below is a synopsis of the Navy’s and VA’s decision.
NAVY

Diagnosis and ICD9 Date VA Code/Percent
Chronic Recurrent Pulmonary Embolization, 4151 05/28/1996 7199-6603 10%
Chronic Recurrent Deep Venous Thrombosis, 4538 05/28/1996 7121 30%
Category II: Those conditions that are contributing to the unfitting condition (s):
VA DISABILITY AWARD

8/2011 04/18/2013 7121 40% Bilateral legs
