Carlie, thanks for the very through explaination on why im likely wrong in considering a CUE. on your questions regarding induction if i remember right it was more than a year after getting in and about another year until surgery. regarding the entirety of TDIU, will decline to reveal the complete reasons and bases. perhaps I should explore an EED. Broncovet, yes youre probably right, an EED sounds more reasonable. no sense in making it harder than necessary when EED is, in effect the outcome im interested in. thanks to all, i will likely need to take advice to get lawyer to review all the documents i have. Hadit is an excellent resource even if you dont hear what you want to hear!

Berta John999 seems to be saying the 1980 rating decsion says i was SC and NSC? im confused. maybe you can shed some light. Also the letter informing me i was denied has no letterhead, is that reasonable? IMO VA basically did whatever they wanted to me then cause they could.

Broncovet I dont know why they didnt list more. fact is they have more cause i have more than one complete copy of c-file over the years...and its all there. IMO maybe they just chose not to list cause they granted benefits. And yes I submitted statements in support of claim but the main medical evidence is their own...generated in their hospitals, clinics and 3 favorable VA doctor opinions. All given as requested to me. the question in my mind is why not SC a manifested, diagnosed and treated condition they helped to create? and making up contradictory statements from one document to another...perhaps they just realized they skrewed up bigtime?

Carlie What the record shows is that the condition was manifested, diagnosed and (mis) treated in service. And there was a denial. Then, many years later same condition was service connected because of the same. all the treatment records were available at the time of the decision. the SOC was issued soon after rating decision. All evidence was available at time of original decision except obvious new exams that showed same condtion worsened to the point of being unable to work. are you saying it was ok not to SC at that time and SC same condition many years later because condition worsened?

youre right John999, their documentation is confusing. but what is sure this that i was denied in 1980. no SC or NSC documentation. no representation. no letterhead on denial letter. they did whatever they wanted back then.

Hello fellow Vets and friends of HadIt, I have attached redacted docs that I hope will answer questions. I would like the point out the 5th document that has no letterhead. I think this is unusual. Please do comment on that. haditfile.pdf

Hello fellow Vets and friends of HADIT Im considering filing a CUE claim and would like opinions on facts related cause there are some very knowlegeable vets here! 1. 1978 in service surgery performed on hand. Diagnosis Caverous Hemangioma, no medical history prior to service. 2. inadequate procedure worsen condition and create residuals SMR documented including nerve damage, marked range of motion deficit, wrist and fingers 3. permanent profile issued limited duty until discharge. 1979 honorable discharge. 4. claim filed within 1 year and denied. NOD but no appeal. no representation 5. SOC issued states VA neurological examination was negative, "reasons for decision" claims numerous conflicting statements regarding date of origin and not aggravated by any incident in service also surgery was remedial for a condition existing prior to induction. 6. 2006 TDIU awarded after condition worsened and unable to work for 2 years prior based on exact same condition. opinions on possible CUE? if possible, where do i start? What am I missing here?
