What Is The Proper Procedure To Turn An

[lu12]

Informal claim process. If you have been ask during a previous C&P examination, under the history and subjective complaints, subsections A&B: what other complaints or medical conditions do you have? - apart - from the sc'd disabilities you where been evaluated, how do you go about to claim your previously complaint from an informal claim to a formal claim and what it would be the EED for that matter?

Let say, that you complaint of bilateral Knee pain in a Jan 2008 C&P for increase for a sc'd lumbar disorder, then you claim sc's for the knee bilateral factor disorder in Jul 2008 six month later. Since it's been documented on a earlier C&P evaluation the EED, could be effective from January instead of July of the same year? would this explain the informal - formal claim process?

Fill out the Form 9 send it to the VARO and it becomes a formal claim.

Just a couple of notes:

The form 9 is only used for Appeals

A complaint to a C and P examiner is not a claim - informal or other wise. It does not and will not establish any form of effective date.

sorry

In order to establish any type of claim for a disability one must tell the VA what they are claiming and what they want done about it.
