I received my Award letter granting my Appeal for CUE granting me an Earlier Effective Date for my 100% Service Connected Disability Pension. It stretches from September 1, 1971 to January 27, 2003. My appeal Lawyer says he has to present a brief to the VRO outlining what I think I should be getting paid. I was shocked to say the least. The granting of CUE claims is apparently rare. I was told that my case may not reach the VRO for another 30 days and it will take some time for it to be reviewed by at least 3 review officers after the amount of the Award is determined. Determining the amount is very complicated because I went through five (3) "Successful" Marriages during this time window two children from the first which lasted a year after 1971. Putting the dates together for these Earth shaking events will be difficult as I will have to contact each of my Ex's to nail them down or else research vital statistics at the record centers involved. I do not think the VRO will want to use the expensive time to go over all of this "Historical Data" and petition me for a compromise? This covers a period of 31 years, 4 months, and 26 days. I would like to hear from others who have gone through this type of process in order to get some idea of what I am facing and how long it will take to get it funded? The way things are going, with "Savage Barbarians" at the helm, I may just get told to "Go to Hell"? These are Treacherous times! My Disability is Bipolar Affective Disorder aka Manic Depressive. i.e. I am F'ing Nuts!
