Nvlsp Nehmer Contact

[Berta]

Their email addy is in this link and it pays to read what they will need before you email them.

They will respond as soon as they can.

NVLSP does not get our c files etc until they become aware of our AO decision.

At that point, after having prior contact with you, they will obtain your records and review the decision if you want them to.

Their main point for review is to insure that your EED is correct.Rating errors etc might well be up to us as claimants to pursue with NODs etc.

I plan on asking them to CUE themselves if my decision is wrong and to follow that request up -if they dont respond-with a formal NOD.

I do expect my EED to be correct. But one never knows.

NVLSP has stated recently that MANY EED errors have been made already by the VA Nehmer people.

The proper EED is the most significant part of Nehmer and what NVLSP will fight over for you.

I already rattled off here many times how NVLSP got thousands of vets their proper AO retro awards years ago when the VA was defying the Nehmer Court order and Stipulation by using improper EEDs.

That might happen again.I hope not. This time the VA can be sanctioned for these errors as within the Nehmer Training Guide (prepared by NVLSP - NOT by the VA)

The 'deadline' of Oct 31, 2011 for these claims to be completed by ,has been echoed by many vet orgs and advocates and I think might be in the training letter itself.

Chuck and NSA Saigon are extremely well versed in Nehmer and many others here are too.

I expect this forum will grow as the awards under Nehmer trickle in.

My biggest concern is that this forum wont grow- because the vet is happy with their retro and it could be ALL WRONG!

I am preparing an article to put here on the ways I foresee the VA could definitely try to snooker some of us out of proper retro awards even if the EED is correct.

Bumping it up -

for contact info re:Nehmer and NVLSP

I think the AO issue due to the 3 new presumptives is FAR from over and many will probably still need this info.
