Hi all,
My husband spoke with his DAV representative on yesterday concerning an Earlier Effective Date for his injury that occurred in July 2008 when he had a fall which resulted in a spinal cord injury. He was operated on August 16, 2008 and stayed in hospital for 40 days. In October 2008 he had occupational and physical therapy up until April 30 2009. He filed for IU and spinal cord injury in May of 2009. BVA granted him IU and for his spinal cord injury for claimed filed in May 2009 instead of July 2008. He could not file any earlier because he had to wait until all his occupational and physical therapy was over with so he would know what to file for.
Yesterday his DAV told him to appeal RO decision by having a video conference with BVA because he said that would be the earliest of all the other appeals.
My question is (1) do you think they will grant him an earlier effective date of July 2008; (2) have anyone had a video conference with BVA and if so what are some of the questions that they ask; (3) is video conferencing the earliest for appeals.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
