So My Claim Was Transferred From Ny To Lincoln, Ne

Rate this question


Question

Posted

So they transferred my claim from the NY RO to the Lincoln, NE RO, it shows that they received pieces of the evidence I submitted (Letter from private MD and permission to contact my MD), but not the DBQ my private MD filled out or medical records that were submitted. With the transfer they changed my claim from "Preparing for Descision" to Regulatory or procedural Review, does the process start over or do they just look at the what they have ie: C&P done on 9/11/12 (exactley the same as the one my private MD filled out, though the C&P examiner noted my peripheral neuropathy is worse than my MD stated) or do they keep going thru things. I've been at 100% for the last 15 years, 2 years at 60% and 20 at 40% all for Diabetes Type 1 and it's complications. With the VA I know one should expect surprises, even though the evidence all leans in my favor, but reading in many posts that they have decided to cut someone back makes me wonder.

You have waht is called a brokered case. It is simply one RO processing claims for another RO. The claim does not start over. Once the case is rated it will go back to NY. This is standard practice.

So I'm wondering how is Lincoln,NE RO compared to other RO's in settling claims, my DAV SO told me the soonest the VA would look at my case was Oct. 19th, he told me this on the Sept 31st, then the switch to the NE RO in Oct., my DAV SO tells me it's a pretty simple claim compared to other's in the system. The VA was my primary provider fro 1976-1997, then I went private and gave them my MDs letter and filled out DBQ, C&P exam in Sept. affirmed my Dr.s DBQ, in my eyes it's pretty cut and dry. It's funny with the condition I have I need an MD's care, it's not like I can disappear for 4 or 5 years and not seek medical care, a week without insulin and a needle and I'm knocking on the deaths door. For the last 36 years the VA has been saying my condition is not permanent, I wonder what it takes to convince them.

That almost makes sense since St. Pete is so busy. I was told they get 10,000 pieces of mail a day.

I have used St. Pete for 40 years. They have never given me a break I did not have to fight for so maybe you are lucky.

that claim was expedited due to a pending housing issue i had at that time. i'm sure that was the reason jackson, miss got involved.

      VA Disability Payment Schedule for 2025

    • 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”
