[Rockhound]

I am looking for a past issue of the VA Claims Manual M21, for the years 1973-1974 Need to site some information for a possible CUE claim. Just need it for my research and to put a copy of certain parts into my computer.

Hey Rockhound,

I maybe wrong -- but I don't think they even had M21 in 1973,74.

If this is wrong - someone else will come along and correct me.

jmho,

Doesn't matter to me what they had, they had to have some sort of manual to follow that told them how they are supposed to do things, give them directions that co-insded with the CFR's and USC's to make their decisions. So long as it covers the years 1973 to 1974

VBA Adjudication Procedure Manual M21-1 was in effect as early as 1972. You are better off citing Title 38 USC. On-line law resources begin 1993 foreward, you can email the Law Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/law/contact/

Wings: Thanks for the information and don't take this personal. I hate search engines, no matter how I word the search criteria, nothing like what I am looking for comes up and spending hours upon hours looking through each and every page that does come up, is not my fun, in fact it is literally quite painfull on the posterier and doesn't do my eyes any good either.

I can't even find specific cases at the COVA or president opinions at the OGC sights.

When I do find something, the files are incripted with some obscure file name or number that won't open on any thing I have in my computor for that purpose.

The latest was looking for the case of Demrel V. Brown, found a file, but can't open it.
