Hey All

I feel compelled to respond to Berta about Dr Brett Valette....I paid the money and got his IMO...The VA Dr ate it alive.I would caution anyone spending that amount of money..But again I am only a lowly grunt....peace and good luck..Allan

Manni

For some reason the VA does not want to give IU...I also had a doc the same way...just beat me up...In Tampa..By all means wait for the decision letter to do anything.....Then others will answer your questions...Just start preparing your statement. I would have my dbq, voc rehab letter ready.....I think you'll be fine....Allan

Hey Guys

I want to refile this NOD on Tuesday and take it to the regional office....How would you guys think I should proceed? should I make it short and sweet or go for the brew? Please let me know asap before I proceed. I am going to ask for increase to 70% from 50%....for PTSD only......Thanks again as always......Allan

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Once Again..

What do I do at this point?keeping in mind my Appeal date is May 14,2016....should I go ahead and file a NOD? If so what should I include? I feel like I should file the NOD on the PTSD rating to get to 70%...Then go after the TDIU in the Appeal if they don't grant it. Please let me know....Thanks Allan

Hey All

Wow, I feel special.....Thanks all....Let me try and address each question from who...Gastone:On Tuesday I will be in St Pete asking to see the MFIC.and also findout who denied my claim.rater or director..Also I have copies of everything since I have done everything myself....Except this NOD...lol.lol...

Berta...My Voc Rehab letter was just listed on the evidence sheet with no comments....Just listed as part of..

In that same decision I at least got another 10% for a knee injury...Very thankful for that...did that myself with help from information I learned here...

To "All" of you I am greatful and appreciate your help.......Allan 

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Hey Everyone

Well this is turning into a nightmare.....VSO filed that NOD without decision being final...Now I got the decision and it turns out VA says it was filed premature.....and they denied my rating increase and IU.....Plus I see the voc rehab letter is now part of decision...Am I done everyone??Thanks Allan 

[DAV Droped the ball...Now What?]

Hey All

On Jan 5,2016 I went to St Pete Dav regional office to check file...lady pulled my file up and stated they denied your claim for increase and iu on Dec 10,2015..I told her I haven't received any paperwork from VA...I told her about my Voc Rehab letter which I had filed...she checked and said its there.but they did,nt list it on denial letter....Soooooo...she filed a NOD on denial of increase on ptsd...and stated Voc Rehab letter for increase to 70%....Here's the kicker!!!!   I just got aletter from VA stating: Notice of Disagreement that you recently submitted is premature,because the action with which you have disagreed has not yet taken place. Also: Today I got my decision packet...Va gave me 10% for a knee condition but denied my increase and iu..In this decision I see the Voc Rehab letter listed as evidence reviewed.....I can now see exactly what happened here and wonder if I have any recourse? When Dav went into my case the rating decision was not finalized and enacted...and she based it on that....and filed the NOD for increase on ptsd to 70%...Now where do I go??? Thanks for all the help "All".....Allan  

[C&P Examination.... is this the right rating?]

ozboi

great that you got your rating........I believe you got a really good rating...but of course you can always appeal...I think the rater was good to you......"I" believe by the book you have a 30% rating......have a great day...Allan

[I REALLY need you guys help on rating!]

Hey garion

Great you got an increase.........Don't forget your dealing with the VA......Allan

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Hey All

Okay so if they grant my increase to 70%.As asknod stated.... Which is what the vso filed nod on.will they go back and look at my claim for tdiu?

[PTSD C&P Over]

Hey Buck

Wishing you much luck my friend.....Allan

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Hey Gastone

Thanks and also know my deadline date for filing appeal is May 14,2016...I did ask the VSO if she could hand carry the thing upstairs and of course she said no......I also filed the Voc Rehab letter on Dec 18,2015 and filed as new&material evidence.....got no response.....I'm in the St Pete office and I have no faith in them at all!!!!!

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Hey Gastone

My first letter from Voc Rehab says I'm entitled to chapter 31...then had my meeting...Then received letter stating: A determination that it is not feasible for you to benefit from a program designed to return you to gainful employment at this time.Then just advises me of my appeal rights......I hope this is a good letter....Allan   Hey Buck and others...Is this what the letter should say?

 

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Hey All

Just want to say, I kindly appreciate all your help and guidance. Which keeps me sane....lol

Gastone

eben says gathering evidence.....lol.....should say....what's evidence?????  

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Thanks Buck52

So goes the VA....lol and reconsideration.....

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Buck52

Hey I got that letter thanks to you guys....Also is vso telling me right by wanting to get the percentage up to 70% first? then go after IU? Thanks for your help..Allan 

[NOD-did vso do the right thing?]

Thanks Berta

Also....I've had a claim for reconsideration filed on this claim since June17,2015.....VSO checked and said it's there but nobody has said anything about it.....should I stay silent on that?Or push it?...she told me she wants to get me to that 70% first...
