Tom,

No the rating is already in. Ms. Moye works for the Under Secretary and percent will be 100% with definitely payment back to 1992.

The rater wants to do some more investigating and may go back to 1978.

Ms Moye said I should have the letter and the money within the next 40 days.

Thanks,

Betty

I haven't read this thread in a few days. 100% back to 1992 (and possibly 1978) is awesome!!!! That is a BUNCH of retro!

Shane,

It sure is and it would not be possible if it were not for the members of Hadit.

Always,

Josephine- I think I was wrong about the 1992 EEDdate-

I mean -Take the retro!!!! It is YOURS!!!! BUT

I was thinking last night that I DO believe you have a CUE- and the VA itself might have recognized this-for an earlier EED-

I hesitate to raise anyones hopes here in many of these posts on some many claims you all have ---because we just can never predict what the VA will throw at us-

and we can usually only get a good handle on something with a full decision in black and white-

I am thinking that-since the VA did award Josephine a pension that they could not send her due to income limits- and this was for the same diagnosis in the award letter she just got-

why wouldnt the VA in fact owe her back to the pension award date? under a CUE-

VA pensions have a different criteria then comp but still-I think Josephine herself brought this up before- but without something from the VA at that time-

it was hard to think that far ahead-and I think she was correct-

this looks like a CUE is possible on the older pension decision? or on some other decision?

We will all have to put our heads together on that-

Men and women -this claim has had almost 1,000 hits-

that must be a RECORD-

and it shows that -althpough the last IMO was costly-

the IMO doctor fully ruled out everything the VA had denied with before-

this was an unrebutted opinion that the VA had NO way to rebutt-

(but one never knows what they might pull though)

fortunately they read the IMO and they put down their weapons-

I wish none of you have to go to the expense of an IMO but this shows how important a great IMO can be.

The IMO even clarified the nexus in a way that VA could not argue about-

I am still learning from this claim.

2 VA shrinks caused this long ordeal in my opinion-

but I feel Josephine can put that all behind her now-and

it doesnt matter a hill of beans what they said-

the dopes

Berta,

I will keep my mouth shut at first and take what they give me, but I believe eveyone of importance in the BVA and the AMC has read my claim.

Ms. Moye did appogize for the VA .

I hated to keep pushing it in their face, but I had to do as Carlie said. It paid off, for they got tired of me doing this.

Yes, Having the IME was the best thing that I did for myself. Costly yes, and a little intimidating, for I had no ideal of what he was going to turn in.

I did find out with Forensic Psychiatrist, they make the call. He knows the laws and he abides by the laws and he will only place into the records his objective opinion of what the medical information shows him.

I received a hard copy of his IME , after he faxed it to the BVA.

I knew that I did not have a personality disorder and I knew what was in the records and what went on in the military.

Dr. Crowley addressed his IME with all of his Expertise and the New counselor on this New Claim, I don't know what you call it, when you go to the BVA again, as though, you have never been there before.

He read the claim for what it actually said, not what those two quacks tried to make it appear to be.

If the pension was to shut me up, it back fired on them. I ask the BVA for 100% service connection back to 1978 due to the " Psychiatric Records" never acquired by the VA.

I believe my claim has been a learning experience for all of us.

Those two nasty doctors placed this in my records and thought they were untouchable.

I got them though. They may not pull this twice.

Thanks,

Betty

You know Josephine, I don't have a claim on the rolls for MH issues. I've been told I should but I don't know if I really want to go there with the VA.

Anyway, you stated something that really struck me. You mentioned how your assertions seemed so ridiculous it appeared as if everything was a lie.

I think that is probably the case for so many veterans; including myself. What I mean is that we attempt to explain our claims to others in a way that makes sense to us. But when others are reading what we post or write it gets confused or is obscured. Most people generally write the way they talk. So, things can be confusing to others. But I almost feel like that. Like somewhere, somehow, someone at the VARO thinks I've made everything up and now I'm trying to prove otherwise...NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE shows.

That is what is frustrating. Getting someone to just read the evidence without any other distractions (personal opinions, etc.). Everytime I feel like throwing in the towel, I come back to Hadit.com and check in. I can't imagine forty-four years. Although truthfully, from 1979 to now, I'm not trailing to far behind, huh.

I'm so glad your story was on the forum as a success story. When I say it is inspirational, I AM NOT KIDDING or just spouting out something. I mean it because I am tired.
