Question
Hambone11B
I just have a question regarding whether or not what was done was sufficient for saying that I disagree with there original assessments and if what I did qualifies me for back pay from the date I left the army in FEB2009. This is what was filed as I was told an NOD had a statute of limitations of 60 days.
VA Form 21-4138 (Statement in Support of Claim that stated)
Veteran is filing a claim for service connection for IU
Veteran will submit Buddy Letters at a later date.
Veteran also requests a re-evaluation of his service connected 30% PTSD.
Everything else that I was helped with needed to be redone or filed for the first time such as the TDIU form. I'm at 80% and am looking to get to 100% and the back pay is a considerable amount this being 17 months since my departure from the army. I had typed out an NOD to be sent in and wanted the vfw rep to read over it to make sure it was correct and he said I only had 60 days from 30SEP2009 (the date the decisions were made on the two claims TBI and PTSD) so we scrapped that NOD and filed the form I listed above. If the above just makes it look like I'm filing for an increase because it has worsened since then, that is not the case. It was underestimated in the first place because they did not have all the information. The original TBI claim was denied and PTSD was set at 30% which is low because they did not have all the info. Any feedback or information is much appreciated and I would also like to thank anyone who has answered my questions here. This site is such a tremendous tool and I have referred numerous battle buddies to here as well. Thanks all.
