yulooking,

I'm surely no big wig but will give an opinion.

No not necessarily so.

In 1994 your medical evidence may not have met the schedule for SC at 60 %.

ok any one every seen something like this i cant find a case where this happen it would seem as if my case from 94 was open and in 2001 when i sumitted papers and granted 60% iu that my effective date should be 94 not 2001 right need help here i am lost.

yulooking,

If the claim was still open from 1994 and in 2001

was granted at 60 % IU, I think VA will either:

1) assign the effective date of 1994, if the medical evidence met the

60% criteria and IU at that time.

My question's on this effective date is had you applied for IU

or did the medical evidence clearly show you were unemployable in 1994 ?

2) assign staged rating from 1994 to present by going with the

medical evidence of record during different stages.

jmho,

carlie

I agree with Carlie- do you get SSA disability ? If so what are the benefits for- same as the SC? and when did the SSA benefits start?

"ok i was 10% from 94 until 2001 when i put in my own paper i was granted 60%iu because i had not work since 94"

Do you mean you applied for TDIU in 2001?

Can you give us the Docket number, date and decision number of your BVA case?

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Yes, your claim should have gone back to '94.

I was awarded 30% in '89. I appealed that decision and applied for TDIU 4 times during the next 8 yrs. I just kept putting in TDIU applications, in case I'd missed some deadline or something. At about 8 yrs I was awarded TDIU but not retro to '89. I continued my appeal and I was eventually awarded 100% P&T, at 10yrs and 5 months. The RO tried to short change me one yr of retro but I sent them a letter explaining their error and received the additional $17k within about a month.

If the evidence is there they should go back to '94. Your earnings record from SS would be excellent evidence of not being able to work.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
