I am helping a Veteran who has been trying to get his benefits more than 35 years. I saw with my own eyes a 2007 RO decision which states that the 1973 Atlanta RO decision awarding service connection was "in error". Isnt it true that a decision becomes final after one year? Isnt it also true, that, if the VA was trying to prove CUE, that they would have to go through the lengthy process WE have to
I would note that this Vietnam Veteran, who I discussed in other posts (waiting 35 years for benefits from the Cleveland Regional Office), actually had military service AFTER the 1973 letter.
I also saw letters from this Veteran which said the Veteran was waiting a DRO Review in April, 2008.
Since this Veteran has been in contact with Congressman Turner since at least April 2008, it would appear that, in this Veterans instance, contact with this Senator did not help the Veteran. What do you guys think?
I will be seeing this Veteran tommorrow evening, and may be able to post more details at that time.
