Can I File A Cue?

Rate this question


retiredat44

Question

My claim is from illness from Petroleum chmecials, Jet Fuel, Gasoline, Diesel, and I also worked with trichloroethylene. In my denial letter, they only stated Jet Fuel in the denial letter and reasons) and left out all the other chemicals. Can I file a CUE because they ommited important parts of my claim for illness? Note, these chemicals were also clearly stated by a doctor that did my IMO.

thanx..

One of the most important documents that you will ever deal with, with the VA, is your original claim. The wording in your original claim can cause the VA to wander down unintended pathways. How, exactly, was your claim "worded"?

retiredat44 - didn't you just recently get your decision or am I confusing you w/someone else?? CUE is reserved for claims that are final, in which the 1 year appeal period has passed.

Cue claims are very unique, It depends on all the evidence in your file and the decision made at that time. It also depends on if you had met a certain rating at the time of the decision. Can you post the reason for VA decision. I suggested to one member on hadit that he may have a Cue claim because it appeared that he had evidence that VA was aware of but for some reason did not give it any credit. The veteran also had doctor statements and claimed symptoms that met the regulation but VA only gave him a low rating in my opinion. I may be totally wrong but, I think he should look in to it. We would need more information from you.

Not to hijack this thread but that is exactly what the VA is doing with my current claim. Is it possible change how your first claim was worded? Mine says "claiming back condition secondary to altered gait" The "altered gait" is getting me, its also all movement patterns requiring my knees, squatting , climbing stairs, lifting objects etc.. that hurt my back due to my sc knees.

hijack over =)
