Glad to see a lot of cases that have been won here although many have taken way too much time. The wheel does turn but slowly.
I won my appeal and was awarded money back to May of 2015. I had filed for 3 contentions in May of 2014 and was awarded two of them and this one was denied. Couldn't quite understand why this was denied and filed for reconsideration. That too was denied and filed the nod before the year was up. I'm asking why the award wasn't dated back to 2014 when all 3 of the contentions were filed?
Thank you for any clarification on this and good luck to everyone.

USAF-Vet,
That is a step in the right direction. A call from the VARO!! Excellent.
 

Hello all,

I looked at Dr. Anaise's site and read his bio. He was on the Golan Heights in the '73 Yom Kippur War in a tank when they basically saved Israel from being overrun by the Russian tanks operated by the Syrians. That got me looking at

books about that war and came up with The Heights of Courage. I don't think the good doctor is mentioned in it as I've never read a more personal account of an ongoing battle and would have remembered his name. Of course it was a

brigade so...................... Anyway, you get the point. This guy isn't someone that got his doctor's degree and then an attorney's and that was it. He is one of us and it doesn't make any difference which war he was in.

Had a rating review from a very recent VA decision. The 800# couldn't tell me anything and so I watched it creep on ebennies. Finally got a Big Brown Envelope and they had gone back and saw that the original competent(?) rater hadn't gone back to the intent to file date. They awarded me 11 months back pay.
I'm sure there are many rating and other reviews but this is one of them.

Forgot to get back on here. The peggy at the 800# had never heard of the 3 0's before and had to ask the super. He said no. That was that. Sorry for not being back on here. Good luck.

Good evening,

Have a C&P next week on my right knee and wondering if it comes down to ROM to get higher than 10%. It was rated using paragraph 4.59 in 2012 as painful motion. That was with an x-ray that showed mild arthritis from a right side explosion, damaging right knee.

After telling them forever (two years) that my knee felt loose and was snapping and on occasion the lower leg stayed planted while the joint moved with bones hopping over one another, I received an MRI. The MRI showed both menisci torn with moderate to severe arthritis with high grade acl tear and edema in lateral tibial plateau. Same with femur plus some cysts and crepitus. Got another x-ray afterwards that showed the lateral compartment is now collapsed. I've already gone through 3 or 4 episodes with Hyalgan and Ortho tells me I need a TKR. DRO even mentioned I could get TKR with 100% and 30% afterwards. Was sort of waiting to see if something not quite that barbaric came along.

Are they going to do the ROM thing and forget about the rest of my knee? Thanks for any help.

Just had a brain fart: if I was single i'd move to the Philippines.
