I filed a claim for major depression and an increase for sc bilateral knee condition. After a second round of C&P exams, I was rated as 30% for Major Depression but did not receive any decision for bilateral knee disability. The VA already paid for the increase due to the depression. My question is has this happen to anyone else where only one decision is received and nothing on the other claim. They were done at the same time on the same request.

It happened to me but that was a long time ago.

It happened to me last year. I sent a letter to the RO letting them know I was in agreement with their decision on the one issue and was waiting for their response on my other claimed conditions. I also sent an IRIS and they said that the other issues were still under consideration. I think if you don't do anything, they may stop working on the issues they did not decide on and hope you don't say anything prior to the 1 year time limit.

You know we as vets are getting screwed by the government daily. We should `all` get together and fight that `you can only get pay for a claim once you put it in , but not for the years lost. If you are going to pay me for a claim now, why not for the years i lost. If someone knew years ago that they could have put in a claim , don`t they think we would have? This is some bull, And no one seems to want to correct this. Now, about you`re situation, i, just two days called the v.a. about a second claim i put in 5 weeks ago, i didn`t receive any paperwork on it. I spoke to one of their rep. and she told me that my scar didn`t happen in the military. How she know that ? i didn`t send in my medical papers stating i had a boil removed from my back in 1976. So in about an hour later another rep called me and said i didn`t put in a claim for the scar. So i called the v.a. in washington and explained to him what the two other rep told me, and as we were talking , he noticed on his end of the phone that the last person i spoke to had `just` closed my case. He was an senior v.a. rep and he explained to me that he would take this up with his supervisor and get back to me, which he did and reopened my claim.. some of those v.a. rep don`t know what they are doing. I am going to start a web site for us vets about the `you only get paid when you put a claim in`.. If one doesn`t know you can put a claim in and once you do `find` out then you should get paid for the time the injury accured, not when you submit a claim. I`ve been out of the military for 32 years, i just found out this year that i could have put my three claims in 32 years ago,, but i `JUST DIDN`T KNOW` thats going to be the name of my web site and i`m looking for an attorney to represent `US`
