Witness

[Charleese]

Hi Everyone,

My husband got his envelope denying him earlier effective date of 1958. They claim that there is no 1958 application and the only application they have is his 1983 application he filed in Connecticut. He asked that they decide under the Reasonable Doubt Doctrine as well as Relative Equipose. Well they did it only under the Reasonable Doubt Doctrine and not Relative Equipose.

Naturally he wants to appeal. He has a friend whom he thought was dead, until he recently went to another friends funeral in South Carolina and saw him there. This friend went with him to Tazwell, VA and witness that he did file application with VA representative for benefits in December of 1958. This friend is willing to sign a notarized statement to that effect.

My question is do you think he can appeal this decision using this statement or an appeal can only be done with medical evidence.

Thanks!

Thanks Frank, but this happen years before I met my husband. I can't write saying that I saw this happen. All I would be able to say is that he tolad me about filing, and his friend was with him. Furthermore, I don't know how to get into a Web page agenta.

Please can someone tell us whether a Notarized Statement would be considered as actual evidence?

Yes Frank I do see what you mean. They use no records found to deny claims. They say there's no actual evidence that my husband file application for claim in 1958. However, he has found the gentleman that went with him when he filed this claim and he remembers everything that happen that day. He is going to do an affidavit and have it notarize so my husband can send in his appeal. He is even willing to go to court if it comes down to that and testify on my husband's behalf. He was sitting at the table with my husband when he filled out application. He saw my husband hand it to VA Representative and he heard when representative told my husband that he would be hearing from the VA. All of this he will put in affadavit. My concern if the VA will accept this affidavit as actual evidence. Hope so. Thanks!
