Nvlsp Question For Nehmer

[Berta]

I got email from NVLSP yesterday that said the Buffalo VARO doesn't have me on their Nehmer list.

The VSM at Phila Nehmer RO sent me two IRISes that I was coming under Nehmer and that is why they have my CUE and AO IHD claim there in Phila Nehmer department.

An 800 operator and past IRIS told me Togus originally had my IHD claim transferred from Buffalo as it fell under Nehmer but Phila RO says it is there.

Question- I am not surprised at all that Buffalo doesn't have me on the Nehmer List but they did send my CUE to Phila.

Has anyone else received this sort of email from NVLSP?

I was denied in the past for a heart disease claim that was completely separate from my 1151/FTCA issues.That is what puts me under Nehmer.

I have sent the IHD claim and copies of all evidence again to VA twice already because at one point Phila said it had been lost or misplaced.(filed in August, lost by November by Buffalo RO )

I hope I don't have to copy the whole nine yards again for NVLSP. But I will if have to.

This is why there is an email addy at NVLSP asking any vet or widow denied in the past for a new AO presumptive to contact them.

They are watching out for us but need our emails to compare them with the VA list.

If you are not on any RO Nehmer list and NVLSP doesn't know it-because they had not had contact from you- the RO might try to walk all over your retro.

Berta,

I would sure as heck get some positive information about, are your issues

under Nehmer and what and where is the CUE claim - who has it to handle !

[Berta]

Yes-Carlie-= I am sending NVLSP links to my past denied IHD claim denied in a 1998 final BVA decision.

Those older BVA cases I had are still on line at BVA so that makes a response to NVLSP easier than I thought-

I also I am sending them copy of the IRIS from Phila VSM confirming I am under Nehmer and they are working on the CUE and IHD claim there.

John did they ask you for date and info on your past denied AO claim too?

The thing is on my past AO claim I got a 0% rating and then 60% on appeal. I don't even know if Nehmer would help me. I will have to call the lawyers to find out.

[Berta]

I dont know John-

Nehmer comes into play when they denied an AO disability in the past.

But then again you went from"0" NSC to 60 % SC-

Nehmer might involve a staged rating in your case.

I assume that was a NSC "0"?

As I interpret the Nehmer Training Guide- if that was an NSC rating for IHD , that is like being denied SC, thus comes under Nehmer now.

If it was SC Zero, then how did you jump to 60% without the staged amount of comp?
