Guest Jim S.
I made my weekly call to the local VARO and got, what at first was disturbing news on my claim, the way the phone person was relaying the current statis of my CUE Claim, I thought that they had made the same mistake and were looking at it as a new claim for new and material evidence. I called my DAV SO right away to get their view as to what was going on and they were able to alay my fears and explain things so that I could understand what was happening.
The Claim is a new claim, but is looked at in light of Clear and Unmistakable Error and not for new and material evidence. It was explained to me that the CUE claim is a new claim submission but until the developtment of the CUE issue is sorted, it appears on the screen as just a new claim and seeing this, the phone person can not tell the difference, without going through the file to decern the difference and usually don't go into more detail on the claim than what comes up on the front page of their screen.
It is different with the SO, they are privey to the memo that they send with the claim and to any developtment, from what I can tell, even before the phone person has the info on their screens. I guess that is why the SO seems to know the award before the VARO tells us. Not to say mine is anywhere near being awarded, as far as I know, it is still being developted, and probably will be for another couple of months or so.
What it boils down to, nothing new and no end in sight yet.
