Did not have the proper paper work the first go around. Took me over One year to get my C&P for PTSD form the VA, not in time before the alj. Received it after hearing.

The board of veterans appeals remanded the case to the St Pertersburg RO Oct 26 2007. I guess the RO made the decision post the remand.

Docket number 05-13-054 St petersburg Fl PTSD sexual trauma granted jan 27 2004 rating decision sept 25 2008

How can I search my appeal that was approved? I have the docket number, but it does not bring up my appeal, it is someone else completely. Is there a way you can look up appeal results by veteran name or social security number?

Upon a substantive Appeal I received in the mail today a "Supplemental" statement of the case which is an update to the (SOC) statement of the case. The DRO has granted two increases from 20% to 40% lumbar strain with degenerative disc disease and 20% to 30% cervical strain with degenerative disc disease. This was after they already made a rating decision. Someone went back and looked over my file and my C&P and corrected it to the proper percentage of disability. They even contacted the social security department to see if I was disabled from my back or neck. With this award, I am entitled to compensation based on housebound under special monthly compensation. (rated at 100% scedular) I did not even have to apply for this benifit, they went ahead and granted it to me. They wanted to know if I wanted to appeal this decision. Does any one know how much housebound pays? They also said that since there is the possibilty of improvement, this evaluation is not considered permanent and is subject to a future review examination. People keep up the fight and never stop, when you know your right!

How do you show a link?

My husband was denied tinnitus because the va said he had absence of evidence showing a link between his current tinnitus and military service. They said he had no medical records that showed in service treatments or complaints. I thought that tinnitus could take up to years getting worse enough before reporting it to the va? What does he need to state in his notice of disagreement?

Had my ALJ hearing Monday, received in the mail today (Saturday) that the judge determined that is was necessary to obtain evidence from a vocational expert to review the file and answer some written interrogatories about the claim. Does this mean they are looking for a job I can Do? Is this letter good news or bad news that my attorney and I have to fight?

Received a rating at 0% for sinusitis. Just got my copy of the C&P. I should be rated higher. The medical information is in the C&P for a higher rating. Do I file a reconsideration with the medical info highlighted or do a CUE?

Found docket number, now can I look this up just by the number itself. Is there a different web site to use?

where do you find your docket number?

How do you find your docket No. (finding of facks) for a BVA award or denial. Can some one lead me in right the direction to a decision made by the Board Veterans Appeal on my specific case. Do I need my docket No. to find this or service number. I don't know if I am asking the right question?

Can a reconsideration request on a granted award trigger another c&p?

I was recently SC for the same thing. They rated me at Zero Percent, because the examiner did not put down how many episodes of sinus infections per year I had. They also did not give me anything for my facial scar (nose) I don't think they even considered the code (7800-disfigurement) One side of my nostril is bigger and misshaped from the two surgeries they done on me. I think we had the same examiner. She sure seemed that she had everything she need for a complete exam. I too thought the exam went well, then she did not report half the stuff in her examination.

A gionometer was used at the C&P. Measured three times for an over all average. ---- I had an independent IMO done before the VA C&P. I submitted this independent medical information with my claim. The VA then ordered their own examination through a C&P. The VA used the ROM measurements that came from my IMO and not the VA C&P, which would increased my claim.
