    Not an expert of course and was asking for more help. I filed and it was turned down then someone else read it and I was granted, still fighting. If I were you, I would have appeal or file again, rule says if you develop it while in service and continues to bother you with medical documentation you have a case and if you are medically required to wear contacts and I am, it's 30%, my vision is getting worst. trying to find out how to get a higher rating. Hope that helps.

    Here is the gist of the award

    I don't understand retro part? Letter says I get 100% from Sept 94 to Dec 94, nothing changes after Dec 1994, I remain at 30%. VSO doesn't explain anything.

    Can you break down the timeline again? Date Notified Date of Retro

    I didn't ask for anything specifically, other than the Convalescent rating. I have a appeal for a higher rating up from 30%, It's a vision claim and my eyes seem to constantly be getting worst

    I was told on Oct 5, 2011 after 2 years that I got my 100% for Sept 1, 1994 to Dec 1, 1994. 3 months VSO also said I should get retro, what retro? I am only due 3 months right?
  11. kookiebean2001
    Correct you have to be medically required to wear contacts. In some cases they have to contract out with a civliian doctor becuase the military just doesn't have the staff any more. I do have Keratoconus.

    Well I finnally got an answer Oct 5, 2011, 3 months 100% Convalescent ratings for surgery in 1994, I filed for it in 2009, so two years wait. VSO says plus retro, retro for what?
  13. kookiebean2001
    I still don't get it. Go slow I am a veteran :) I get 3 months at 100% (Understand) I get what from 2009 ? ($1.00 x 24 months) = $24.00 ? insert a different figure for the $1.00 if necessary.
  14. kookiebean2001
    Finally got 100% Convalescent ratings for 3 months, they said plus retro, I don't understand the retro part. I filed in 2009. Can someone explain. Convalescent goes all the way back to 1994.

    How long did the appeal take to get to Travel Board, What is a normal time frame?
  16. kookiebean2001
    It's been a year now. Got a letter stating that VA is still processing claim. Trying to get 100% for surgery I had on my eye. Sent all medical info in, 13 pages.

    Has anyone used the Veteran Vision Equity Act of 2007 in obtaining a higher rating, I have one on appeal for Keratoconus and curious how V.A. is handling the information. Schedule_for_Rating_Disabilities_Eye_38_CFR_Part_4.pdf
  18. kookiebean2001
    I have Keratoconus disabled @30% also being referred to low vision therapy in California. Medically required to wear contacts without them i can't see, vision changes often, never get correct fit.

    Still waiting since Nov 8, 2008, on my 100% temp claim. Sent everything in, hope yours doesn't take as long.
  23. kookiebean2001
    Jim told me I wouldn't win my case and I won. He is not an authority. He should have told me there is a good chance that I might win but an even greater chance I might lose. I thank him for his opionion because it caused me to fight harder, and still harder I fight.
  24. kookiebean2001
    Thanks fo rth eupdate, I actually ment 100%.
  25. kookiebean2001
    May I ask what is your condition. I have Keratoconus and had surgery, I put in the paper work back in Nov for 1000 % temp, still waiting for a decision.
