[crowell98335]

I Was in the US Army from June 1979 to April 1989 got to the rank of Sgt(P) when i was hit with a AR 15 and depromonted to SP4/E-4 then was told I have some thing was worng with me i was acting diffent (Ten years later i will fine out it was schizophrenic/PTSD was with me) my MOS was 96b10(that is Milltary Intelligence Anallyst to you who dont know it) at the time of my ETS i have three gcm, two arcom in told i could wear a three row of three I was with the 2nd Bn of the 502nd Inf AASLT of the101ST ABN AASLT most of my time in. I had a TS SBIG with a SCI clearance and the last nine months of my time in I was on KP they didnt know what to do with me.

Now you know about me here is my question is if i do get the holly thing of iu at 100%( I am at 30% for my ankles) will the VA back date the pay ie reto the 100% to Feb 09, 1990 when I first put in my claim in and been having a open claim from then on that is over twenty years of back pay ie over $600,000.00 dolars if so that with them mis the pay they all ready gave me inclued? And will I need a payee? If so can it be my wife who been with me from Sept 1979? If not why so? And if they pay for dep will they ie VA pay for my wife even if she is the main bread winner now and my four dau I have also even if they are now over twenty years old?

I have a CUE claim that involves a claim that goes back to 1971. If I was you I would hire a lawyer for this claim of yours since the VA is going to be hostile to paying you 100% or IU back to 1990. If you claim was never adjudicated and is still open I still think you need a real pro on your side. There is just so much money at stake the VA is going to drag you to the BVA and beyond. What kind of discharge did you get? If you filed in 1990 for schizophrenia do you have a copy of the claim you filed? Is it in your C-file. I would concentrate for now on getting TDIU for schizophrenia/PTSD and then worry about the effective date. You must show that the VA did not deny your claim and that it fell through the cracks. It can happen. Scan the decision to this board if you can like Phil and others say so we can look at it.

that was the first thing my wife and mom did back in Feb 1990 when I try to walk off a brige that is over a hundred ft tall

Hopefully you have a date stamped copy of your claim for mental health

that is signed by you - not signed by your wife or mom.

Also, what exactly in stated on your Rating Decision that granted

30% SC for you ankle.

Everything but personal info like name, claim number, address, SSA #, etc...

You have not worked since 1990? Is that correct? You are getting expert advice, but I'm hung on the not worked since 1990 & you are only 30%. What did I miss?

Good Luck,

Don

Who told you you are getting 673,000 bucks? Did you recently re-file for mental condition? I am missing something. Who told you the VA is adjudicating the original 1990 claim?
