Does Anyone Have A Reference Limiting Cue To One Time?

I read that in filing a CUE a Veteran has only "one shot" to get it right, or forever be barred from filing a Cue again. Does that apply to a single decision? What if that decision has multiple issues, and there were multiple CUE violations? What about "unadjucated" issues, that is, what if a decision failed to address an issue at all, so the Veteran was unaware the decision was "deemed denied"?

I just realized this "deemed denial" thing opened up a can of worms with Cue. In case you are not up to speed a "deemed denial" means if you apply for 3 issues, and the VA issues a decision on just one, the other two are "deemed denied" and the one year appeal clock starts..Veterans are required to file a NOD for claims that have never been decided because the court considerers them denied. Its one of those Va loopholes that frustrates Veterans.

Thanks Carly...:)

jerr,

I just read through some of the prior posts you have made

and your very first post at Hadit, answers your question.

You posted,

"Hi everyone, I'm new here and found this site while brousing the internet. I have a TDIU appeal in the works. The VA originally denied me but didn't address my SSD at all and then denied for some stupid reason. Actually, they used a symptom of my depression against me in denying my claim.

I immediately file an appeal for reconsideration and was informed just recently by my VSO that they (VA) has decided to reverse my denial for IU on basis of CUE with a projected completion date of January 1st.

What is a CUE and it this good for my IU claim? Also, does anyone think they are reconsidering my claim because they didn't address my SSD on the original denial?

These are questions I have and I appreciate all input.....

Sincerely, Jerr"

jerr,

You received a Rating Decision that you filed a Request for Reconsideration on

(which also most likely contained some additional medical evidence),

the RO looked over your evidence and called a C&UE ON THEMSELVES

and has now reversed your denial of IU.

This is a football field different than a claimant calling a C&UE on VA.

When VA calls a C&UE on themselves - then the claimant does not

have a zillion things that they have to consider.

I say to you - thank your lucky stars, ten fold.

jmho,

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
