carlie Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 On 12 February, 2015 I was sent back for neuropsychological testing which ranges from severely impaired, moderately to severely impaired, mild impairment, low average to borderline, low average, average to low average and average. If I'm jumping around I apologize.

HadIt.com Elder deltaj Posted January 22, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I would like to add one additional error that V.A. makes. There is a regulation that is NOW FOUND at 38 CFR 3.160 (e) which mentions reopened claims and explains those are claims reopened after a final disallowance. (The regulation was found at a different regulation number in earlier years.) There is another regulation found at 38 CFR 3.103 which states that a veteran must be notified of a decision at the latest address of record. V.A. occasionally fails to notify a veteran of a decision at the latest address of record and then determines that a subsequent claim is a reopened claim despite the fact that the earlier decision never became final because of V.A.'s failure to notify the veteran of the earlier decision at the latest address of record. V.A. also has a nasty habit of shredding or destroying some of the evidence in support of that earlier claim which could be used to establish an earlier effective date for a higher rating that the ones given in the earlier decision and the subsequent decision concerning the so called reopened claim.
