Thank for the answer, I should be getting the letter in the next day or two, it was just odd for one claim to show and the other two not showing. I understand about benefits, I have one claim under appeal for a TBI that was rated 0% not service connected and no one at the VA can tell me why. They say it can not happen that way, I told them I understand that but you did it, then they got upset with me. Thanks again.

I had a claim finalized last week. The question is I had 3 issues decided, but only one of them showed up on the disability part of ebenfits and it was denied. the other two did not show up yea or nay, has anyone had this happen. Thanks Ken

Thank you for the help, yes that is date of the original claim , I have a remand on the same case for after 2011 till now at the AMC, that was closed yesterday, waiting to here from them, I can not fine the decision at the BVA site to see what the judge ruled. I got a call from the AMC, the guy I talked to said I got 10 and another 20 on my left ankle, that would make me 100% from 2011 til now. I want to see the paper work first. Thanks Ken

Can someone tell me what this means. ORDER The appeal for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for right ankle limitation of motion prior to September 10, 2008, is denied, but a separate, compensable, 10 percent evaluation for right ankle instability prior to September 10, 2008 is granted, subject to law and regulations governing the effective date of an award of compensation. The appeal for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for left ankle limitation of motion prior to September 10, 2008, is denied, but a separate, compensable, 10 percent evaluation for left ankle instability is granted, subject to law and regulations governing the effective date of an award of compensation. The appeal for an evaluation in excess of 20 percent for right ankle limitation of motion from September 10, 2008, to April 2009, is denied, but a separate, compensable, 20 percent evaluation for right ankle instability from September 10, 2008, to April 2009 is granted, to the extent not precluded by 38 C.F.R. § 4.68, subject to law and regulations governing the effective date of an award of compensation. The appeal for an initial evaluation in excess of 20 percent for left ankle limitation of motion prior to March 10, 2011, or after June 1, 2011 is denied, but a separate, compensable, 20 percent initial evaluation for left ankle instability from September 10, 2008, to March 10, 2011 is granted, to the extent not precluded by 38 C.F.R. § 4.68, subject to law and regulations governing the effective date of an award of compensation; the appeal is granted to this extent only. Thanks Ken

I forgot to say I am 90% from the VA and thanks for the help

thanks for all the help, but the VA stated in the claim that it was 0% not service connected, it was sent in for a reconderation and came back 0% not service connected . I was told if you get 0% it is service connected. does anyone know if you can get 0% not service connected? Thanks Ken

can the VA rate me at 0% not service connected for a TBI?

Has any one received 0% rating and Not Service Connected? I did for a traumatic brain injury.

Chuck75 the funny thing about it is, I work for the military, the same people that cause all my SC disabilities and they do not want to let me off to see the Doc and complain about me being sick.They try and make it hard, I just go by the rules, which make them go by the rules and if they get the rules wrong I point them out to my boss so he can get it right the next time. Thanks Ken

I am 90% and I work for a government agency and during one of my yearly evals, I was told I took to much time of work for sick leave and almost all of it was for my disability, the only other was from food poisoning and I had a doc. statement for that, I told him he did not want to go that way because I would report him and he backed off. They are picky about my days off for sick leave, they want a letter from the doc every time. Ken

If you were house bound after your spine surgery, you can file for that, I got it for 3 months and it was 3123 dollars I think, I know it was over 3100 dollars, you might want to check in to that. Ken

Thanks for the help, I will try and send Iris request and see what they say. Thanks Ken

I just got rating on a clam for effective date on my bilateral claim ankles, it was denied for the back dates, the question is on the same letter, the last line said I did get my bilateral plantar fasciitis service connected and I would be sent a letter later giving all the info. Has anyone else got a letter like that, not giving the rating on it, I have never gotten one like that? Thanks Ken

Not that I know of, Sorry Ken

Pete53 Yes I am working at this time, trying to work as long as I can until I am not able. I work for the a civilian police officer for the military dept, they had to waver me because of the narcotics I take for my back pain, don't know if that is legal or not. jbasser it was the AL that sent in the wrong paper work and yes they are working with me, I think they know there is a big problem they made and are trying to fix it. Berta the audit was requested on the same form as the rest of the calim and thinks for the in on the POA files. I upset one of the raters from the VA when he called me about on of the issues on my claim and was telling what he thought about my claim and told him what I thought about him and the next day all my claims were canceled had to go up to the VA and show them my file from the local county VA office with all the claims and where they had received them, I had to reopen my claims and I think somehow the old claims got opened back up and they are trying to rate me on them now even though I already have ratings on the claims. I also told the AL I talked with my lawyer all ready about this issue and they look at me funny and told me that is what they are for and my lawyer would want part of my money I get form the VA, i guess they thought I was dumb and thought he would do it for free. I guess they did not think a Police Officer had a lawyer, I told them I have a lawyer of my own for legal advice and if something happens at work. Thanks for all the help and advise. Thanks Ken
