Bva Came Thru

[RSG]

Hey Folks,

I am really jacked up today. I finally heard from The BVA yesterday. My service connection was granted clear back to april of 1969 by the BVA judge. 39 freakin years I've fought these jerks. I don't know anything about the percentages cause they didn't say.And BTW thanks to all you people for your support. Still need a little advice as to where I go from here.What do I need to do now. Do I need to fill out any more VA forms, or do I just sit and wait for a raters decision. Being unemployable for five years now with SSD should make a big diference in the raters decisions, is that correct or am I blowin smoke. I need to know what to do now.How much longer is this gonna take?

THANKS< THANKS< THANKS,

Man I am jacked up.

Congratulations Ron.

All the way back to 1969. What a blessing this has been resolved while your still alive. I'm sure it wasn't the RO's idea to resolve it so soon.

It puts a little ray of hope in me, that the BVA is capable of actually reading evidence and applying it to a claim.

I sure am glad to hear you've won.

Ron,

congratulations to you and you well deserve it; I am so glad to see that the BVA did right by you.

Was it a claim you had originally filed in 1969 that was never adjudicated? Was it a claim that was just left open for all these years? I don't see how you did it otherwise since it was not a CUE. Whatever it was it is going to be a lot of cash. Did you have a lawyer? The devil is in the details and it is going to be the way they award the progression of the disability that will be key. If they say that you were 10% up until you went on SSD that is absurd. I would not put it past the VA to do this. I was 10% for 20 years because of the incredibly poor quality of the representation I got and the C&P exams that just were piggybacked one on another over the years. I did not know what the idea of a real IMO or IME was because since I worked I thouhgt I was OK. Don't stop fighting until you get what they owe you and I think they owe you a lot. Imagine if the &^%$$^^ had to pay interest. Maybe you should post the facts of your claim again for us to absorb. I don't remember all of it.

My claim has been consistently been denied for 39 years.Thru every RO I have been to and DAV didn't listen either, so I took it upon myself and with the help of the Hadit folks we won. It's been in and out of the BVA for at least a year and a half.

I am curious too as to the EED and it would help many to have a little more info on all this.39 years in appeal? WOW.

my claim was not in appeal 39 years, it has been consistently been denied by every RO and DAV office I have ever been too,

and that is at least 8 of them.

RSG,

Can you post your BVA claim # here and we might be able to look it up.

I won't post anything till I find out what percentage they are going to give me. And how I need to handle that situation,

But the BVA judge did cite the fact that the RO's have been totally wrong denying my claim since 1969 and granted my service connection since April of 1969. I am just to superstitious to post more than that right now. Maybe it's just my paranoia

but that's how it is right now.

It's been a long, bumpy road.
