Thinking Of Filing A Cue To 1971

Rate this question

Question

I came across this first rating decision of 2-2-71 that has this printed note on the top--

(for the veterans vasomotor rhinitis,because it cannot be distinguished from his sinusitis which was incurred in service.S/C for both ---then goes on to say service connection is denied for the ulcer of the nasal septum , because it was first noted after service.

10/1/ 70 I got out of service I believe the C/P was 1/5/71

I was only recieving 10% at that time so this could add another 10 % or more.

This wasnt even 4 months after discharge.Didnt go to 100% till 1994

A lot of this first rating was screwed up. THOUGHTS

thanks STEVE

Believe what you have to or want to believe. Do what you have to do.

Good luck, and don't hold your breath.

I know that you don't care for my opinion .. but I think you have too much time on your hands

Interested;

Damn dude take a chill pill! The Brother was merely asking a simple question of our thoughts of the situation. Then you come and intensify the conversation by belittling the man. Your absolutely right, he probably doesn't care for your opinions. With reply's like that I wouldn't either!! Just sit back and relax. There's no reason for this.

A possible problem is that the VA may still be able to try and hide hide behind a "deemed denied" "gotcha" that can occur when a denial or award omits parts of a claim.

Let me quote the OP's last word in his paragraph: "THOUGHTS" ; perhaps I misunderstood his question whether he should file a CUE or not. Likewise, I may be misunderstanding your " ...asking a simple question of our thoughts of the situation." I understood the question to be whether the OP should file a CUE or not ... it that correct?

Although the knee-jerk reaction is always 'yes, file the CUE', I saw nothing in what little information that the OP provided that showed a CUE. While I suspect that a claim for increase might be in order, it is difficult to state that unequivocally without review of the veteran's unfiltered record.

However, if the intent of any suggestions on this forum is to sludge up the system even more with another claim that has little - if any - chance of success, please be my guest.

Now, if you want belittling, I draw your attention to the word "...reply's ..." . It should be 'replies." You're welcome ... just here to help.

Most of the time when a vet is down and out with their luck, sickness, injuries, etc. All they have left is their dignity, and as hard as it is to keep that in form, they try to stay in their safety zone from being degraded from the outside. I honestly believe that this site (Hadit) is to some, their safety zone, and feel comfortable being here talking with other vets about their service related issues.

Interested, your questioning to the Vet wasn't the issue in my response to you. It was your conclusions at the end of your replies (hope I have it right this time) that brought my attention to you. When you bluntly told him " I think you have too much time on your hands" .Then you said "Believe what you have to or want to believe. Do what you have to do. Good luck, and don't hold your breath. Please explain the innocence of these remarks to me because the way I see it, that is nothing BUT degrading the man's dignity by broadcasting those remarks over the forem where everyone else could read it.

I'm not here to get in a pissing contest with anybody, so if I made you uncomfortable in any way then I'm sorry, but facts are facts my friend, and that's all I'm going to say about this.

    • 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”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
