I've been told that there is just one VA claims file that exists on each veteran. As the veteran files a claim with the RO and then, assuming it's denied, the claim moves through the appeals process to the Board and then to the Court, the file moves along with it. We just had a Board hearing in October. We've got appeals filed at the RO level, two remands at the Appeals Management Center, and a hearing pending with the Court on several items the Board denied. I'm confused as to just where this file is, and I guess we're causing our own delay at the Court level because of the other issues pending?
Also, we're trying to get verification of my husband's rating as of the October 2005 Board decision on his claims. We think we know what it is, but we need verification. Because he's got claims pending before the Court, no one we've called at the VA wants to verify his new rating (we think he went from schedular 90% to schedular 100%, but we're not sure). The Board gave him a new rating of 10% for something previously rated at 0%. We also know he's owed some money as a result of the Board decision, but can't find anyone to tell us how much or when it will be paid.
If anyone's got any suggestions, we'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks!
