Is A Dro Decision And Appeal Decision.

Rate this question


Mr cue

Question

i ask this because bva has made and error on my cue claim.

if i never had did the cue of my first rating from services 1993. i would have never been told my claim were still in appeal status since than. i did the cue 2008.

made it to bva told ro never cretify my appeal to the board in 1993.and they are still pending and there has never been and appeal decision made on these claims.

i do have a problem tho

during these pending appeals the dro granted 60% and iu effective the dated i put in papers 2001 and in bold letter say this is a full granted of all current appeal issues.

so i ask is this not a appeal decision that was made by the dro.

i have been fighting 3 yrs with bva to look at there decision. they granted me 10% from 1993-2001 and call the decision 2001 and ro decision which cant make any pending appeal final.

they got many games they play with veteran they even remand and informal iu claim found in the record during the cue to be develop from 1993-2001. i was granted iu 2001 by the dro isnt this a effective dated issue.

it been at amc for 3 yrs just got denied i dont meet the % for iu from 1993-2001. by them granted me 10% from 1993-2001 they knew i would get denied. if they had granted the 60% i would have meet the percent for iu.

folder now back at bva lets see if they straight there error out. bet they make the va courts make a decision on this hope i die before its granted.

but iam 43 and god willing i hope i out last them.

I am glad it went back to the BVA because in my opinion the AMC is utterly useless for many if not most claimants.

I told NVLSP a few weeks ago when one of their lawyers mentioned AMC to me that they seem determined to ignore all evidence and send it off to other ROs that they know will do that too.It is just a stall tactics in my opinion because they dont take the time to even be able to make a proper decision on the claim.

If you have evidence you can't work due solely to SC condition it does not matter about your percentage. I am in sort of the same boat percentage wise with a CUE on a 10% award that is headed back to the Court of Vet Appeals after second trip to the BVA. My CUE is 9 years old at least. The BVA said I was not totally disabled because I was not on SSD prior to 2001. I was 100% in 1971. This is what they choak on therefore the grant of 10%. To my mind the BVA can be just as bad as the VARO when they don't want to pay out a large sum of retro. I do think they are just trying to run out the clock on me.

the crazy thing is the comp exam doc stated i could not work 1993-2001 the one they remand it for.

amc send my claim to comp and pension. all they stated was the evidence doesnt show i cant do sendtry work. denied

now back at bva. i have not work since services 1993 and bva remaned it for a doc opinion which stated i could not work from 1993-2001. and all my limitions.

what there next move its with the judge since feb 21

oh for got to say they remanded the iu. but granted 10% no more on the neck issue.when i was granted 60% 2001.

this is with the courts and with the judge and he can look at the iu because it a effective dated issues. not to be developed.

i say this because bva hope that i would not had appeal the decision in time to court. think i had to wait for the remand to come back to appeal. then i would not had been able to appeal the 10% the time would have run out. it was granted 3yrs ago.

see there tricks

They just don't want to pay 100% benefits from 1993 so they seek to impeach their own doctor's opinion.

ok bva granted my iu cases . but part of it is with the court i have a strong cases to get 70% from 1993-2001. i am 40% 1993-2001 with iu.

i could withdraw my cases but want the court to make this decision i believe i have a cases that will set percented cant spell u get it.

see the va has take a dro decision appeal decision and call them ro decision because the dro is in the local ro not dc. there decision are not appeal decision which means if you have a pending appeal found during a cue and the dro later granted it. it would still be open and bva has to make the appeal decision. to make the pending appeal final.

hope i explain that right. so iam asking would you withdraw the appeal that at the courts.

    • 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”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
