i hope that you are not trying to get tdiu. think about it. voc rehab is paying for your school to get employment. if you are 100 percent not employable because of social security or tdiu then what would you be using voc rehab for. why would they pay you

i agree. it shouldn't change at all. if you have dependents and they are now added or lessens than yes it will decrease or increase.

a new proceeds heads up. email i got after request, Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act Requests are now being handled at a centralized location. I have forwarded your request as well as this address update... also they will call you and send you a letter asking if you want your records in hard copy paper or on a CD. to lesten the time frame from now on put your answer to this in your FOIA request.

osc ? i see that you are only 90% SC and im wondering how ? did you not get any bilateral factoring in this ? just seems crazy to me that you could only be 90%

b. Appealing BVA Decisions Under 38 U.S.C. 7266, an individual is allowed 120 days to appeal a final decision made by BVA to CAVC. An appellant must file a notice of appeal (NOA) in writing with the Clerk of the Court prior to expiration of the 120-day time limit unless he/she · furnishes good cause as to why the NOA cannot be filed timely, or · files a motion for reconsideration (MFR) with BVA. Reference: For more information on filing an MFR with BVA, see M21-1MR, Part I, 5.G.33.c. Continued on next

a big question i have is,, since we are all getting answers saying that decisions have been made but as of date we do not have any paperwork but yet we have a date of the decision.,, when does the 120days time limit to file to a higher court start and or the 30 days time limit to file for an MFR motion for reconsideration to the BVA... as of mine no one is certian of the decision just all certain that a decision was made on february 5 2015... but, no one wants to send me that in writing

i think that is whats happening tredcoastie...im out of the d=san diego office and there claims have dropped aswell. ALSO an update on mine,, just got confirmation from 202 BVA # that yes, it looks as my 2 were decided because there is no way for ebenefits to show that they merged them into just 1 appeal. so she looked them up and yes i have 1 appeal with 4 issues instead of having 3 appeals at same time. thats why peggy says a decision was made but peggy is wrong to say that. yes a decision was made to merge all appeals into 1... anyway now i wait for the hearing. good news is i got a docket number and a 90 letter.

i really appreciate all the good vibes and posts.. thatnk you all very much

im asking you all to judge the new letter at the bottom for your input on if new and material or not.......... my first denial for bilatteral hip strain stemmed from the C&P doc stating that no service connection because in my c-file STRs he couldnt find any high discreet traumatic event that could create my problems. i had a DR at vamc write a letter : in the letter he stated : It is of course possible that the rigors of physical activity ( multiple non specific traumas to both hips ) during his time in service accelerated the progression of any diseases and have contributed to his current symptoms. without medical evaluations to view during active duty it would simply be impossible to know. As Such , it seems as likely as not that active duty has contributed to the current level of impaired ability and pain in his hips... i was denied again after that letter because i was told that the statement says impossible to know without documentation. ( my point was, this should have at least put both Dr. opinion into equipose) anyway i was denied stateing yes new but not material. so, i get my c-file and find what the Dr. wanted.. 3 evaluations stating hip pain on movement due to physical activity fitness.. i forward these to the doctor and ask for an addendum to his letter. he replied with this new letter that im asking you all to comment on.. the patient provided 3 documents from his service file that serve for the basis of my opinion. they document that he was suffering from bilatteral hip pain at his time in service and suffering from this pain due to physical fitness, marching and running. Given this new information that i did not have it is clear to me that he suffered from hip problems in his time in service.it is therefore my opinion that his current hip problems are more likely than not the result of medical conditions that began in and/or accelerated and exacerbated by his activities as a soldier...... ?????????? what you all think ???????

thank you guys. yes im more thinking lawyer at this point. kinda like why not its already taken so long and at least ill have a better rooster in the fight

when you ask for a hearing at the bva in washington, does your vso fly there or do they have a representative show up? i have 90 days to choose another pov should i hire a lawyer now ?

im having very similar issues. my claims are from 2011. i have 3 different appeals. two of these appeals were certified on September 9 2014 and the 3rd was certified febuary 4 2015. according to ebenefits,, 2 of my 3 were looked at on febuary 4 and decided and dispatched and claims folder was being sent to VAMC. the 3rd was sent directly to a VLJ on that same date. for all three appeals i requested a hearing at D.C. BVA but according to ebenefits 2 have been decided . so ,, i call peggy yesterday,,, says yes BVA made a Decisions and has sent you there decision.HAVNT GOTTEN YET...also says that some cases are decided without giving hearing but the 3rd will give you a hearing. then today i called the BVA 202 number and they told me no,, they merged all appeals into one. i go to mail and had a small letter saying that the bva has recieved my 3rd appeal and it is with a VLJ and i will be hearing back from them... WOW!!!!!! who is right ?????
