Got A Call From The Va Regional Office

[jessie0054]

Hello Everyone:

This morning as i am working on the NOD for my son's Claim for a reconsideration in the rating decision for his Blood Cancer. As most of you know that by reading my many post that he was given a rating of % back in March 2007 but should have gotten a 40% rating because he is receiving monthly phlebotomies.

Anyway the VA called for a couple answers because " We are going to sign off on this claim and need a couple questioned answered"

They wanted to know how many dependants he had.[ Gee could have been answered if they read all the file] he has one son.

Am i to assume that they are going to approve the rate increase to the 40% rate since they ask how many dependants??

I hope i'm not reading too much into this but sincerely pray that i can write a success story soon:

Sounds like they made a favorable decision to me-

hopefully they did- it is so hard to say yet-

gee-the VA called you?

I think if they called all of us and squared it all away one to one- they would be better able to adjudicate our stuff-

[rdawg]

did you include his wife as a dependent??

Berta: I'm praying that the decision is favorable!! I'm still working on a NOD just incase.

gee-the VA called you?

Yes, I wish they had been calling months ago!! It could have saved 10 months!!

Looks like at least 30% if they are asking for Dependents but they require Birth Certificates and Marriage License for proof. Seems a little weird but hopeful at least.

It certainly sounds positive to me.
