Guest Berta Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 B) I thought it was CUE ,on the old board - then thought NOD response with this retro but the vet just mailed me the actual DRO decision- It WAS a CUE claim that we filed last year and he won- we cant figure out 4 years of 100% retro with one dependent and I think his daughter was still in high school in 1995-she definitely gets more Chap 35 if not the additional depndentcy payment- what is real funny is that my friend figured out on the decision what all this seems to have involved- it was $ 165,372 on his claim he won last year and this is four years of 100% more-I think about 96,000, but he came up with a total over quarter of a million! (no wonder he wanted to take me to dinner- in Ireland!) This vet as I mentioned before was kicked out of the DOM- in 1995 when they were only allowing SC vets to stay there- here he was SC all along- the Dom here gets drug and alcohol pts now and I havent met any with SC yet. I am glad they get this excellent treatment from the VA but there is something wrong with this picture- how many vets did they make homeless in 1995 who actually had SC disabilitys? It really makes me so mad---- Now I need to work on our next CUE- on the 1981 denial of SC for the same condition-he got SSA for it in 1981 too and the BVA denied. WOW I am so happy for this family and this vet almost gave up many times but I kept telling him to hang in there. I am too excited to do the math and he is in shock.

KennyJ Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Thats great Berta , thats adds fuel to my fire because my CUE case is very similar to his. I filed a claim that was denied in 1991 and in 2003 was awrded for the same condition I filed. Great News for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
