First of all, thank you to all who answered my question, especially you, Berta( I've read you are the "best of the best").
Why do I have to file the claim, the BVA already approved me for the disability that I never claimed and they have already rated me 40%. Also they have paid me back to 2013.
Also, through your advice, I reviewed my C-file, but the only thing I see is a MEB report on the disability that the BVA awarded me. The more I looked through my C-file, I was sure that I filed for that disability when I got out of the service in 1993. I filed the claim on paper and not online. I don't believe they had an online process then, and if they did, I was not aware of it. Anyway, I could not find any paperwork on the claim that I know I filed. What can I do about that?
Thank you for your answer in advance. You and all the others are so helpful to all of us Veterans.
