as always you give the best example and explanation...thanks so much for a clear-er explanation...

there was post recently on the rules- and it was great info- but i noticed something that was very important missing that most veterans dont realize or think about...EED! whenever there is a change in EED, the date for the 5,10,20 gets reset- in your favor... if you fought to have a claim EED back to a claim in 2008 from a win in 2019 effective date and won- you are now protected under the 10 year rule- and will be protected under the 20 year in year 2028 instead of 2039! this is important info i think gets missed and just wanted to share here is confirmation from a repubutal law firm to back up: https://www.seankendalllaw.net/faqs/va-disability-rating-20-year-rule.cfm#:~:text=Retroactive Awards&text=The Veteran would receive a,the decision was recently made.

i also used all this research that @Vync found in my appeal- i cant wait to get before a judge-

i am also still fighting this team! instead of CUE i imideately filed for appeal by judge at BVA. i have been in holding pattern for over a year waiting on a date with the judge. any other updates on this? any advice on how to proceede?

yeah until you told me what was going on with yours i didnt really have any idea what was happening...i now believe this might be an issue with this particular "type" of appeal. i filed 2 other VBA appeals since and they have been certified and shown up on va.gov the next day. but this particular appeal is still in limbo. i think the VA is hoping we will give up on the issue maybe? i dunno

yeah i sent a 21-4138 requesting they certify my appeal that was sent in on 10/24/2022. i have called peg like i mentioned, a few times now, and they have submitted "service tickets"(whatever that is) to have the appeal reviewed and certified received. they told me that i can call back in 30 days to request another "service ticket", as they can only be sent 1/30 days. i just checked again this morning and still no movement...ill try IRIS question too...ill use the same wording i used in my 21-4138... i just cant believe there isnt a timeline for some form of acknowledgement....i understand adjudication takes time...but there should be something saying they have to say "yeah we got your claim,NOD, appeal and are working on" within some time frame...otherwise whats to say it could sit in limbo with indefinitely with no action/review/certification? this seems like a HUGE loophole that needs closed...i wonder how many times this has happened and its just happened to me the 1x... how many times has a vet sent in a claim and it just sat there for years with no one even looking at it? how can this be changed? i mean i cant even appeal or go to the courts without adjudication- soooooooo how can you make change without a NOD? this is nutz

hey man im rooting for you! im sorry things have been going poorly but keep your head up...dont stress.. setbacks happen- but giving up - thats 100% lost "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" -wayne gretzky -Michael Scott

no im not...i lost a ton of weight through a program called Virta health....its sponsored by the VA to help Vets get off diabetic meds...its been life changing... im off my blood pressure meds too... https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/virta-long-lasting-cardiometabolic-health-improvements-for-veteran-patients

when i was taking metformin i found out that topiramate interacts severely...when i confronted the doctor about it i had to practically beg to stop taking metformin and try something else to manage my diabetes.... i am now off my diabetes meds- but as stated above, you have to take responsibility for your own health sometimes and not rely on others to always get it right...either bc of ineptness or mistakes- you are your own best health coach

im going with D....cept i dont accept your definition...its a long stick but its used for something else

Look up Daniel David Palmer-who slapped a deaf janitor on the back and the next day he felt better...and how did he learn to do this? From Jim Atkinson‐ during a séance... like I said...its quackery

sublimation is made up....its not legit medical term(at least used in the context of spinal manipulation) again, quaks... now, i am a firm believer in the placebo- if you have a doc and it makes you feel better- keep doing it...do what gives you relief...just know there is no medical basis for it and most likely is all in your head...

mine was too....i only had one in 2022....i have one sitting now for EED waiting on docket...if/when that happens ill see if i can remember to come back and comment on if it got sent back to RO

when did this start? i had no idea?!?!?! thats actually a good thing i would think...

perfect...thats what i thought but im dummy and need it spelled out in crayon sometimes.. thanks buddy!

i just wanted to say i am so sorry for your loss and sorry to loose a brother. the advice above is well said and laid out and i cant add anything but i wanted to say something in honor of your husband. i wish you peace

so are these 2 statements in opposition? i am confused if they are in agreement or not since there was only the post from the VA and no follow-up commentary.

@brokensoldier244th thought maybe you might have some insight?

@Vync just wondering if you knew how chiros got their start? the father of the "medicine" if you will learned it from a spirit/ghost/demon...again if you dont know these things i really encourage you to research the history of it- i am not a spiritual person anymore but even the idea of someone practicing medicine based on some whackadoodle dreamed up or if you believe in such things what a spirit told him- thats not medicine.

massage therapist and physical therapist are better doctors... chiropractors are quacks at best and witch doctors at worst....do some research on chiropractors- history of, licensing, training etc. its basically modern day whodovoodoo with "doctor" put in front of it to give it better ring

I appreciate your response but I'm specifically asking about acknowledgement of filing and receipt of the claim, no adjudication. I have a claim sitting in limbo that the VA refuses to even acknowledge. I have called multiple times and keep getting the same answer that you basically said "VA doesn't have a ti.eline for claims"...They keep sending service requests to have to appeal reviewed so that a letter can be mailed saying they reviewed and received it but i keep getting no where and want to try force their hand if there is a reg or some other reg- possibly delaying? Not sure

we went to casino for first time ever...i hated it...too loud and i wasted 100 bucks in 15 min...never again lol

so i never heard or seen any reg on the topic and i tried searching Hadit- is there any regulation that the VA has to respond to NOD, appeal or any claim for that matter acknowledging they received it etc? we have a timeline on when we have to get the claim in, but is there nothing to force the VA to certify or acknowledge the claim, NOD, or appeal? any help is always appreciated.

yes, but we had SDVI before it went into effect and had our appeals in before as well for the waiver.

i totally get it- but in all honesty- im not doing it to save 50 bucks- im doing it out of principle and for those vets that come behind me...i want them to deny me...i want to take this all the way to CAVC...this needs to be changed...the VA too often gets away with things in a manual/reg book that is in opposition to cfr 38 or at best vaguely out lined enough to follow the law. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! whats sad is there is president- as has been shown already, that M29 is wrong is using employment as a test for permanent and total disability. as far as the back pay, there were 2 cases listed but the citation is missing,...maybe you slueths can help me track it down: i also tried using chat GPT to assist and it referred me to 3 cases i cannot find but it insists are real, that deal specifically with M29:
