carlie Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Opened up Saturdays mail from my VARO and have a few answers from my BVA remand. 2 more issues were granted as SC'd. Claim issues filed 04/26/2005 Went through denial - NOD - DRO Hearing - SOC - SSOC's BVA Hearing 1- Remanded - BVA Hearing 2 - Remanded - May 18,2011 - A second DRO Hearing on the same issues - SOC received 10/26/2011 - MDD - granted SC - secondary to already SC'd disabilities - Scar right wrist - granted SC - secondary to already SC'd Seizures / TBI (I had a Seizure years ago in a shower with a glass door and my fist went through the glass shower door). I do not yet have the percentages or effective dates - those are yet to come. The effective dates will AT LEAST have to retro back to 04/26/2005 and will probably be in staged evaluation percentages. Due to the BVA Remand additional C&P's were requested. The MH C&P examiner stated absolutely no work, school or volunteering due to MDD directly related to SC'd disabilities. He wrote all symptomology that should warrant between 50 & 100% and that I am competent to handle my finances. I also still have PTSD due to MST that is under BVA level appeal - I don't care if they ever SC it anymore - I'm tired of the fight. ( I know - only one evaluation for MH anyway. ) I am to the point with VBA - just provide all Benefits that are allowed by 38 USC and 38 CFR, Compensate me Correctly - according to the Criteria in the Schedule Of Rating Disabilities, as compared to the Medical Evidence of Record. When this is completely accomplished - I will go away and leave the VBA alone, try to live long enough to wait out my 20 years - and then hopefully - VBA will leave me alone. When I know percentage evaluation levels, effective date and retro amounts I will post them. 6 YEARS and 6 MONTHS - exactly to the day - from filing a claim on these two issues, at least I now know, that SC - has finally been granted. Lesson for the day: Continue to prosecute your claim issues in a timely manner. Never Give Up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Great news you finally got this. Hate waiting such long time too, but at least they won't make you settle NOW or else continue to fight. I started 12/03-finally 09/10 they awarded100% PT No future exams effective date 09/09. BS but I settled too tired to fight them anymore. Plus they told me they would wrap me up in exams for life! Had the exams, appeals, declared deceased, proposal to sever, appeals, NOD, NOD Denovo with DRO personal hearing, BVA, remand...Glad you finally got treated fairly(after jacking you so many years) after fighting and suffering all these years...

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 31, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 31, 2011 I told you there would likely be something in the mail when you got back home. The same thing happened to me. Basser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
