Question
tom91
There appears to be an error made in my records but would appreciate input on this.
I filed a claim for PTSD initially in April 2009. It was denied by VA effective November 2009 due to lack of stressors. Following discussions back in Oct/Nov leading up to my 1 year appeal period, my VFW rep at the TN Veterans Affairs Office recommended that we file a 'reconsideration'. That was done early in November 2010 prior to my 1 year appeal period. Once the appeal period was within days, we subsequently filed an appeal. I had a C&P exam last week and the file is at the board for review.
Here lies the discrepancy.....I inquired at the time of my exam and today via the 1-800 line the effective date of claim, I was informed it was November 15, 2010! The 1-800 folks informed me that it was a 'reopen' file vs. a reconsideration and that you cannot have both a reopen and appeal...? ; however, they went on to inform me that the appeal was on file.
I don't understand but it should go back to my initial filing date of April 2009. Any advice?
