KILO 3/5's Achievements

  1. I am going to try posting a document once again. Okay, I tried again and again I received this same message (Error This file was too big to upload). Also it states the following; Max single file size: 2MB. I tried to post a smaller file now it says " You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file". It was a page from the 2011 rating decision. Scott
  2. I have tried the attach files button. I can't paste in the little pop-up box either. I will try to find my security setting and see if that is blocking my pasting attempts. Scott
  3. Can someone explain to me how to paste my decision documents into my post. I have tried to use the (more options) button. Each page is larger than allowed. Thank You Scott
  4. Everyone, Thank You. I will try to scan in everything I have. The larynx Operation was done after a car accident in 1972 on my way to military police school at Fort Gordon Georgia. After the accident I was taken to Macon Medical Center where they operated on me for a curshed larynx on the left side. It was not completely curshed. They removed some tissue and I was still able to have an acceptable voice. The discharge summary that was in my medical record was very old and some of the wording was unreadable. I made a copy before I retired but the fdamage had been done it has words that are unreadable. Macon Medical center didn't keep records pass ten years. The records was long gone in 2010 when I tried to get a copy. The VA didn't say in the decision explanation that the discharge summary was part of the decision process. I will check again. I don't remember it saying anything about the discharge summary from Macon Georgia. Larynx Operation was on the addendum I submitted with my 1999 claim. I listed it again on the September 14, 2009 claim. That is where they got the September 14, 2009 date for the May 9, 2013 decision. The addendum I filed with my 1999 claim is the same addendum I used for the September 14, 2009 claim. The VA have the 1999 claim that is how they were able to add the other issues to the September 14, 2009 claim that I did not claim on the September 14, 2009 claim. Also, they backdated every award made (0% and above) to 1999 on the July 29, 2011 decision. On this decision they deffered Larynx Operation and two other issues. I will scan everything in soon. Thank You
  5. Notorious Kelly, Thank You for your welcome post. Did I post my question in the wrong forum? I know there are a lot of smart people on this site but none have been able to advise.
  6. • My initial claim for Larynx Operation was submitted March 24 1999. • The addendum sent with the March 24, 1999 claim is in my VA record and can verify that Larynx Operation is one of the issues I claimed March 24, 1999. • The St. Petersburg Florida Regional Office had my March 24, 1999 claim for Larynx Operation and other issues for ten years without taking any action. • After ten years of no action on my March 24, 1999 claim, I submitted another claim September 14, 2009. • On October 15, 2009 the St. Petersburg Florida Regional Office mailed a notice to me stating they were working on my claim. It listed all the issues I claimed on the September 14, 2009 claim which are the same issues I claimed on the March 24, 1999 claim. • On January 6, 2010 the St. Petersburg Florida Regional Office mailed a second notice to me, this time stating they had received my claim. This second notice listed the rest of the issues from the March 24, 1999 claim. • The issues they added are not on the September 14, 2009 claim. They were from my March 24, 1999 claim. • They had found my initial claim from March 24, 1999. • Larynx Operation is listed on the initial March 24, 1999 claim and on the September 14, 2011 claim. • The RATING DECISION of July 29, 2011 backdated all awards (0% and up) to the date I submitted my initial claim (March 24, 1999). • The July 29, 2011 Rating Decision deferred three issues: Residual of Larynx Operation, Psoriasis Elbows, and Chronic Headaches. • The above three deferred issues are claimed on my initial claim of March 24, 1999. Residual of Larynx Operation is also on my September 14, 2009 claim. • The May 9, 2013 Rating Decision awarded 0% for Chronic Headaches backdated to March 24, 1999. The initial date of my claim. • A deferred issue on the July 29, 2011 rating decision. • The May 9, 2013 Rating Decision awarded 0% for Psoriasis, Elbows backdated to March 24, 1999. The initial date of my claim. • A deferred issue on the July 29, 2011 rating decision. • The May 9, 2013 Rating Decision awarded 10% for Residual of Larynx Operation backdated to September 14, 2009 (A deferred issue on the July 29, 2011 rating decision). • Larynx Operation is listed on that initial March 24, 1999 claim and on the September 14, 2011 claim. • The 10% award is given a later effective date (September 14, 2009) than the 0% awards are given (not the date of the initial claim for Larynx Operation). • The claim for Larynx Operation had never been adjudicated, not until the May 9, 2013 decision. • The award should be backdated to the date of the initial claim for Larynx Operation, March 24, 1999. From the outline above, can anyone advise as to whether or not I have a case for appeal.
