Thanks for the reply. No, I do not, or did not, have a staged rating. I re-opened the claim in 2009, I was granted a 30% disability rating for the skin. Then I appealed for an EED, as I mentioned and won the EED, back to Jan. 23, 1985 from the BVA. The RO office acknowledged the EED, but said it was non-compensable at that time because it wasn't severe enough. Back in 1985 I was never called in for a Comp & Pen, so the VA would have no idea as to the severity of my skin in 1985. FYI, as you know the lack of a comp & pen had nothing to do with the CUE win because you can't win a CUE for that. The VA missed evidence that was before them but did not take into consideration. That's how I won the CUE. Now since April 2018 when the BVA ruled in my favor, I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN PAID!! JRD

If you win a motion for revision based on a CUE for an earlier effective date (EED) for a current disability rated 30% . Should the rating remain the same back to the EED?
