Good Morning to all, first, please accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your input.

Yesterday I called my VSO and was told he would be in the office today. I am considering paying a visit today so I can hopefully receive an update on this owing money business. Speaking of which, I was on the VA.gov site and explored the "If You Owe Money To VA", now I am super concerned, the "Compromise Offer" is astounding, this reads like a shakedown from the local Mafioso. My husband stated he feels our lives are on hold because of this and he is correct, I know the process takes time but it does feel like our life is on hold. On my visit to VA.gov the VA offers an audit with instructions to call 1-800-827-0648, would this be worthwhile or is working with the VSO the best way to go? Everyone have a great day. Thanks, H.G.

P.S. I checked out 38 CFR 3.307 (a,3), good information however I am unable to find "307", I'll keep searching.

HG - if you are already s/c for MS back to day after discharge then no need to review 38 CFR 3.307 (a,3). It pertains to s/c for MS.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
