I Won At The Bva

[Jim 501st]

I just thought I would Share the good news.

I had a BVA hearing Oct. 30 2009. I got my decision on The 14th of Jan..

I had 5 issues. I will only mention the two that were granted at this time.

She used my meniere's disease which is the big one, because when I had my C&P The lady that did it gave me a 100% diagnosis in her medical exam and ( cerebral gait constant, Leans to the left and wife had to aide him for balance.) Also said I could not perform a lot of my daily activities at home with out assistance but she denied service connection. As I said the BVA judge service connected it.

Also she service connected my right Knee which at my C&p would have been rated a 40% disability due to range of motion and arthritis.

I would also like to mention that she used Dr. Bash's IMO solely for her decision which the local RO refused to acknowledge.

I had three other items that were remanded back to the RO for further adjudication which I feel sure I will win two of.

I feel sure the Meniere's will get me 100% grant on top of all the other awards that I already have (70%) plus the ones the judge granted on the knee.

This is just a brief and I will be glad to go into further detail on the decisions if anyone wants further information.

PS I found it very interesting that the BVA judge cited two CCVA cases in which my wife and my opinions were as valid as medical opinions and used them as reference in her decision.

militarynurse,

This is from M21-1MR which instructs how the regs

are supposed to be implemented by VBA.

38 CFR is the regs themselves.

I just pinned this topic today.

I think if you study it well. it will help you advance your claims issues.

There is alot to decipher on Evidence - what and how is it to be weighed,

credible and probative evidence, etc...
