New Evidence On E-Benefits

Rate this question


Question

Posted

Just seen this on my e-benefits page under the evidence.

I hope that this is because I sent my recent doctors papers and also the IHD form that he filled out for me. The NVLSP also has a copy of this.

Does any one know what this means.

In my case, I see documents submitted for everything since they stood the system up, no matter what claim I look at. I think it's all up to your particular VARO. I wouldn't sweat it, unless you see something from out in left field. Then, either submit an IRIS, or contact your VSO if you have one.

Limbo is status quo for the VARO.

pkelly-it might mean the VA will CUE themselves on that ridiculous letter you got and re adjudicate your claim.

I expect that to occur.

Berta, I just looked up the VAF-21-4138 it is a NOD. I was wondering if they, the VA would consider my doctors papers and new VA form for IHD a NOD. I did not fill one out for my most recent decisons from the AMC. Unless my rep from the DAV filled one out.

The rep should have done better then file a NOD-

regardless- fortunately NVLSP has looked into your case.

NVLSP won the Nehmer Decision and they will handle this much better than the DAV could -in my opinion.

All you can do at this point is wait and if I were you I would let your NVLSP contact know of the 4138 that was filed apparently by the DAV.

I dont use e benefits -I guess you cannot read the entire 4138 and see who filed it?

If NVLSP filed the 4138 that is one thing but if DAV did- I feel their approach was wrong.

Did you have other issues that required a NOD in addition to the IHD claim? Maybe DAV filled it out on them?

As I understood this claim, the VA screwed up if they knew you ave private treatment records and they never obtained them nor advised your private doctor to fill out the IHD medical form.

In that case the VA committed a clear and unmistakable error in the ridiculous letter they sent to you.

But without all the facts that is just my opinion here.

NVLSP lawyers are the top guns regarding Nehmer claims and wont steer you wrong.

Berta, I just realized that the VAF 21- 4148 form is a Statement in support of claim. Although I did not fill out one of these, would the recent paperwork that I sent to the person at the AMC such as the recents doctors reports and the IHD form filled out by my private doctor count as the Statement in support. Sorry for the wrong info yesterday, I must have read the form wrong. E-benefits is stating this as evidence along with another form which is just a form stating that they talked to me.

Should I still e-mail Dean from the NVLSP.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
