Question
Papa
The following came from the Nehmer Training guide, page 17. While I'm not sure how to post this, I will not know unless I do post. Back in 1973, less than a year after my discharge I went to the American Legion and filed a claim for Nerves and emotional issues. At the time I was shaking and had terrible mental problems. Of course, the VA denied me, and I do and can not find any paper work where they inform you of your right to appeal. They did not suggest a C&P, and I was to naive. The AL just told me to go home and live my life the best I could. Currently, I'm awaiting the effective date for my Parkinson's and the evaluation of my PTSD. Realizing that this would not be easy, would this be a battle worth waging? My point is that the disability arose in 1973.
"The effective date for retroactive claims must be one of the following dates:
• The later of the following:
o The date VA received the claim, or a date prior to September 25, 1985, if the claim was pending or on appeal on September 25, 1985, or
o The date the disability arose
• The day following the date of the class member's separation from active service, if filed within one year from the date of separation"
