Berta Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Banchie- this is just GREAT News- it pays to be proactive And persistent- anfrankie- these Nam and Persian Gulf vets -any PTSD or SC veteran-should get the retro back to when they got the PTSD or disability in service- but it just doesn't work that way- Filing within one year of discharge is the only way one can expect a true recognition of inservice disability- otherwise it is almost always the date of the claim or sometimes a year prior to filing-or a CUE-difficult to win and 1952? a CUE probably wont do it- I sure understand your point- but the VA has a much different view of retro.

Berta Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) Banchie--- did you get a VCAA letter? I think this is a case where the veteran actually got one- As Banchie stated they told him specifically what he needed to send them for higher rating- he highlighted that in Red and this is the fulfillment of his DTA rights- no wonder his claim went OK- the VA did THEIR job and he did his! Men and women- I am asking my RO for my VCAA letters- That will put them in quite a fix- Can they refuse? No-and it means they have to get my file back from the BVA- Also I am asking the VSM (Susan Kloc) to CUE the last VA decision based on the VCAA error that they made- I cant cue it----THEY can! This worked for me in Sept so I am using this tactic again- I want all this in my c file - They gave my evidence no attention at all for over three years- My vet rep (former) never ever told me if was going to the BVA- I was waiting for reply to additional evidence I had sent them -they gave me 60 days in the SSOC ,I responded immediatly with more medical evidence (there was alot more in the med recs)and then they ignored my evidence again -and set it up for BVA while my former vet rep sat back with his thumb up his rear end- I hope you all caught what Banchie's message last month reveals- it is what I have been griping about- He appears to have gotten a real VCAA letter- It is the Election response that the vet sgns and returns-this is what they will read and when RO gets one -then they probably say oh craps-someone sent this vet a real VCAA notice and now we actually have to read their claim and satisfy the VCAA election that the vet made and tell the vet what they need or make the award right then and there- because the VCAA Notice that the vet signs and sends back to them- is the only way many vets will get anyone there to actually open the c file and read their evidence. Some claims would have to awarded upon their receipt of this notice- Read the election part and see what I mean- This is a bigger scam than Watergate- to me as a Watergate buff-but also as a vet's advocate- Watergate did not involve keeping compensation out of veteran's pockets with deliberate stall tactics by ROs. VCAA Gate does. Edited August 21, 2006 by Berta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
