I think the home modification money is somewhere around $50k. Also there's the vehicle money, available. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAC-Vet75 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 WAC-Vet75, An issue that has never been rated (adjudicated) does not meet the CUE criteria. A CUE is filed on a unappealed claim that has become final. Yes - you need to be slapped for the rest of this entire day :-) Well, I would have a CUE for the SMC s, as they rated me only TDIU, never considering the housebound rate, correct? This is where I'm a tad confused, my letter inferred housebound, and when I am able to travel the 2 hours to the VARO, I will see my C file, and medical evidence. CUE has to go back to when the evidence warrants it, but doesn't an inferred claim only go back a few years? Thank you, I KNEW I needed to be slapped! Duh, I still can't believe, after all these years, I still called them! Can I blame it on my MS, or just sheer STUPIDITY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAC-Vet75 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 If you are able go to the VARO and look over your C File. Anything you need a copy of they will usually make on the spot for you. After all they are your records Oh, I intend on reviewing my C file! I can't wait to see what all they screwed up on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as my file is out of the rating board, I'm going to be doing a LOT of filing! BTW, all the sources I've contacted concerning the 100% + 60% keep referencing 38 USC 4.25.... even the VSOs! Have they not read that regulation? "The VA never adds the percentages" is the most recent VSO response... well, did you ever think they were doing it WRONG, and they have NO law/regulation to back them up? lmao... our time is coming!!!

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 15, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 15, 2011 WAC-Vet75 - When were you rated TDIU??? I believe if you were rated back in '93, that under that Peake decision, they were required to consider SMC HB/A&A and if they didn't you could pursue a CUE, depending on what the requirements might be, pertaining to the Peake decision. I would pursue CUE and let them correct it, if necessary. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 15, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 15, 2011 I think you meant 38 CFR 4.25? Just checked and I couldn't find any 38 USC 4.25. pr Thanks PR....
