Just a couple of quick questions about my claim. I reopened my PTSD claim (originally denied in'95). I am trying to claim CUE because not all evidence under constructive notice was examined at the time of the original decision. (SMRs and "failure to appear for VA examination" were the only items listed) I know for certain that I went to the examination. When I filed to reopen in '05, I was awarded 30%.
I filed NOD to increase based on GAF score of 41, as well as 'possibility' of CUE because existing evidence in VA custody was not examined in '95 decision. I was increased to 50% PTSD, however the SOC now states that decision of the 'original claim' was Oct. 1996.....???? And that the evidence considered at that time was a VA examination from May 1996.......????? Can anyone help me explain why there is such a discrepancy in the date of the 'original claim'???
My second question is this.... if in '95 I was denied my PTSD claim, and following that denial I returned to the VA for outpatient treatment for PTSD, would these treatment(s) constitute an informal claim of the original claim denied in '95??? And if so, would such an in formal claim circumvent and/or substitute for a formal appeal of the '95 decision?
One last question, I requested a copy of my c-file in '05 but haven'e received it yet. Is there anyway I can find out why there is such a delay or request again? I think I'm about to sever all ties with my SO....
