It isn't unusual for the back and forth action; happen a lot. If you check "letters" in VA.gov it can show a change in your ratings. Also, ebenefits under rated disabilities. I had a change the day after the decision was made but the hard copy can take 7-10 days. Also, assuming you have direct deposit, the deposit for back pay can be in your accout in as little as 2-3 days. Best of luck.

I only found so far, one asbestos vet at the BVA who had a lung biopsy: "This veteran had a lung biopsy by the Mayo clinic but " The report notes that a specific diagnosis of the needle biopsy was unable to be made. The Veteran underwent a lung wedge resection of the nodule which revealed an old " etc." His claim was denied , https://www.va.gov/vetapp16/Files1/1605020.txt The DAV SO might be right but he needs to back that up- because I assume you do have a firm diagnosis of asbestosis and/or mesothelioma.

Get rid of the VSO and get a certified claims agent. Been there done that. Why does any vet take the beating when dealing with these nice but over worked folks. There are some excellent agents out there. Access to VBMS is very important, It keeps vets from filing the claim on Monday and setting up Guard duty on the mailbox starting on Tuesday. I use John Dorle. Benefitsagent@comcast.net. It does not matter where you are located. VA is now Nation wide.

First it is almost impossible to get a back date when we did not disagree or file an NOD only after a claim was filed. A military psychiatrist hand wrote a three page analysis about my mental status and requested that the military to discharge me. I have never had the time to read anything more than let me out in 1970. The CO refused and instead falsely claimed that I went AWOL every week for a year then he had me arrested. The psychiatrist wrote another request for the military to release me in 71 and I was after a Court Martial with a General Discharge that included all benefits. My PTSD was

Happy Thanksgiving to all. The year 2020 has been difficult in many ways but as veterans we have witnessed adversity before .We conquered that adversity. Tbird did not have to start Hadit.com. She did. So lets all be thankful to the VA for putting an idea into her mind and fostering a movement that over the years has helped thousands upon thousands of veterans navigate the VA claims process. She has opened so many doors for veterans over the years. She has surrounded herself with amazing people to assist in the guidance and moderation of Hadit.com. We all should be thankful for this webs

Best wishes to all on this Wonderful Day and in the future. I hope your prayers and dreams come true. Be safe, be healthy and be happy.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. We found a house so we will be moving soon into our forever home. I am most thankful for all of you!

Same to you, one and all. Ne well, be safe.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL, Gobble, gobble, Hamslice

If a veteran files a claim within one year after their discharge and VA awards it. their retro will go back to the day after discharge. More info here: https://cck-law.com/veterans-law/are-there-retroactive-awards-for-veterans-disability-claims/ Can you scan and attach here the denial that mentions the disability? We need to see the Evidence list, their rationale for the denial, and what the Mental health disability was. Cover your C file # ,name, address prior to scanning it.

If a Veteran Service Officer gives information that you question, just post the question on Hadit and see if the opinions match up. Some of the best and accurate information is here. HADIT is awesome.............. .............

My niece got covid she is home for now but feeling pretty awful. I’m quarrintin myself and hoping that I don’t get it. My niece was extremely careful but still got it. We just signed a contract on a house and are suppose to close by dec 31st so I don’t know how this will affect that. We are all pretty worried about her. If it gets worse she will have to go the hospital and we just have to take it day by day and I hate that. Seeing my niece everyday keeps my ptsd at bay, so I’m a bit jumpy.
