Got An Award

[SouthernBelle]

We just got a CUE award and we didn't even file for it. We've filed a CUE on something else recently, but this isn't for that. This is a CUE award for the NOD that was filed in June. I'm over the moon about this CUE, and very hopeful that they will award the CUE that we've recently filed for. YAY! Like I said, I'm so over the moon I can't even put it into words!

Great!- can you tell us more on the CUE they awarded?

If VA sees they have committed a CUE they can and sometimes do rectify it themselves.

It sure doesnt happen often- happened to me, and you and maybe one or two other members here?

So they are saying they established a retro 50% award from Dec 1993 up to August 1996 and they then dropped it to 30% ???

So they owe 39 months at 50% less whatever % he got then- and then they reduced to 30 ????

What happened on Aug 27th 1996 or up that point from Dec 1993 that showed he had substantial improvement from the 50% ?
