Question

Hi, I checked my case online today and saw that it had been updated. Can anyone tell me if this is good or not? What does it mean where it says consistent

with this decision. I can also post my claim on here if needed.

This was the conclusion.

Upon consideration of the foregoing analysis, the record on appeal, and the parties' pleadings,

the July 14, 2008, Board decision is VACATED and the matter is REMANDED for action consistent

with this decision.

DATED: September 30, 2010

It is difficult to know how to interpret this.Do you have an attorney handling this?

For CAVC appeals filed after April 1,2008 this is Rule 35 as to time limits: (I dont know if that time frame applies here)

"(d) Time for Motion.

(1) Clerk or single-judge action. A motion for Clerk reconsideration, a motion for single-judge reconsideration, a motion for a panel decision, or a motion for both single-judge reconsideration and a panel decision, must be filed not later than 21 days (51 days if the motion is filed by an appellant, petitioner, or representative located outside the United States, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands) after the date of the Clerk's or single-judge's dispositive action. The filing of a motion for single-judge reconsideration does not toll the running of the time period set forth in the preceding sentence; thus, any motion for a panel decision that is not filed within that same time period will be untimely.

(2) Panel action. A motion for panel reconsideration, a motion for a full-Court decision, or a motion for both panel reconsideration and a full-Court decision, must be filed not later than 21 days (51 days if the motion is filed by an appellant, petitioner, or representative located outside the United States, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands) after the date of the initial panel decision or order denying a motion for a panel decision. The filing of a motion for panel reconsideration does not toll the running of the time period set forth in the preceding sentence; thus, any motion for a full-Court decision that is not filed within that same time period will be untimely.

(3) Full-Court consideration in the first instance. A motion for consideration of a case by the full Court in the first instance must be filed not later than 30 days after the date on which

(A) the appellant's brief was served in an appeal or

(B) the petitioner's petition was filed in a petition for extraordinary relief.

(4) Full-Court reconsideration. A motion for reconsideration of a case decided by the full Court must be filed not later than 21 days (51 days if the motion is filed by an appellant, petitioner, or representative located outside the United States, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands) after the date of the initial full-Court decision."

But your past post had this info:

"II.CONCLUSION

Upon consideration of the foregoing analysis, the record on appeal, and the parties' pleadings,

the July 14, 2008, Board decision is VACATED and the matter is REMANDED for action consistent

with this decision.

DATED: September 30, 2010

Is this regarding the same case at CAVC???? What happened at BVA after the remand?

This is Rule 36:

"Rule 36: Entry of Judgment

Print

Unless the Court orders otherwise, the judgment will be entered on the docket after the later of

(a) the date on which the time allowed in Rule 35(d)(1), (2), or (4) has expired, or

(b) the date on which the Court has denied a motion for reconsideration or has denied a motion for full-Court decision after a panel decision, if no other timely motion under Rule 35 is pending. Entry of the judgment begins the 60-day time period for any appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit."

Perhaps the CAVC web site would have a little more info if you search the cases under your name(or the veteran's name)

But maybe only show an entry of the judgement.

"The time allowed for motions under Rule 35

of the Court's Rules of Practice and Procedure has expired.

Under Rule 36, judgment is entered this date."

Were all motions sent in on time?

Does the docket sheet at the CAVC (available under name search) show dates of receipt of any further motions or correspondence to the CAVC?

PS =as JBasser said:

"We need to see the case. They issued an opinion and remanded to the board. This sounds a lot more promising than upheld."

We dont have enough info to understand the jump from the BVA remand to the CAVC judgement.

I think you should send the VARO an Iris and even contact the BVA ombudsman to see where this claim is now and the status of it.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
