Is Ro Allowed To Change Openning Dates?

Rate this question


Question

Posted

Trying to figure out what the RO is doing.Opened original claim in 8/2010. The RO assigned orignal open date as 9/2010. At the beginning of this month, the RO divided my claim into three parts. My Section 1151(date 8/2010 status unknown), Cervical, knees and non AO related illnesses originally open dates of 3/2011 now is 08/10/2011 and last but not least all illness that can be associated with AO ( such as Diabetes II,Thyroid,Graves disease,etc...) original date of 9/2010 has been now changed to 07/21/2011. I have not received any communication about these changes. Are these the type of things that can be considered CUEs if need be in future appeals? They have been doing some really strange things lately that has me thinking they are trying to help me get retro back to 1972 on somethings.They ask for certain things in my early records that leads me to think this.They have the same records I have because I sent them to it.Short of telling me what page to look on for this stuff, they keep asking for same stuff just worded differently. Going in for my 2nd C&P exam next tuesday, thankfully it is not with 1st C&P dr who screwed up everything. I'm beginning to think that if the RO doesn't get the information from me, it's not available.lol They act like no one sends them anything! Thirteen months now and I still feel that no one knows what their doing there!! Mike

Where did you get this info?

None of that makes sense to me.

The Diabetes II is an AO presumptive but this would not fall under the new AO regs unless you also have IHD and claimed it .

I wouldn't be thinking about CUE yet. Do you have a vet rep?

The Section 1151 claim- I hope you have read all of the 1151 info in our FTCA forum.

They fight these claims aggressively.

1151 claims must have medical proof of VA negligence/malpractice and also a ratable additional disabiity directly due to the negligence.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Try looking up POST Viral Syndrome or do a google search for the same.

Hpoe it helps

Thank you for the info!! I was able to find quite a bit on it. I just like getting HOPPYs input on all things toxic/chemicals!! He created my Profile pic!! Seeing those two words on a medical report when I was overseas, might be a very valuable two words. Those two words might be enough to tip the scale of justice from deny to granted. Mike

    • 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”
