VetsLady Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Finally received notification that the BVA granted service connection for issue on appeal. Now what ? Do they send the file back to the VARO for a rating ??? Long, long battle..... VetsLady and, Proud to Be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardener Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Congrats on the BVA win! Was there any remanded issues, or only the one for sc? Also, did the BVA grant a percentage? If not, then you will probably have to undergo a C&P exam to determine the severity of the disability (in order to assign a percentage). Either way, you are now SC'd which is the "hard" part of the claim. Again, a big congratulations coming your way! Gardener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted August 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2010 Congrats My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

VetsLady Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thank you for the Congrats ! No remanded issue(s). Service connection GRANTED ! Medrecs in the C-file are very up to date and condition will never get any better. Don't see rationale for a C&P exam as medrecs clearly document severity of condition on their own. Criteria fits 100% for this condition alone. Interestingly, was advised (not in the decision) but on the phone, that a claim was automatically opened for IHD in July........AO exposure and sc for AO related conditions were already established previously and receiving benefits for them......the BVA appeal is a separate issue. His medrecs show HBP, heart disease, bundle branch blockage. etc....so who knows, did someone who finally read the file in DC see this and open a claim ? Who knows.... Congrats on the BVA win!

My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
