What does this mean as far as...the AMC goes. I called today and was told that my case was closed a descision was made, and that they were waiting for SSOC. I asked if it meant suplemental statement of the case and was told no, not on this end. The lady was really nice and told me she would call me back later to try and find someone there to help her dig deeper into my case/files/descision and call me back, but I am not holding my breath. All I can think of is they denied my claim again...thanks

I went to check on ebenefits about my appeal status and it says closed 12/31/12.

To my knowledge there's no need for an SSOC if you won the case. They usually issue those when the case has been denied. jmo

Yea, thats what I feel. Although I have been denied before and given the reasoning behind the denial, i wonder if they would give reasoning as to why they decide to grant? Wishful thinking though.

I guess it must be heading back to BVA for the final say?? It was remanded to the amc from bva in july, so???

Googled it and came up with some scenarios....Based off of my original claim and what the BVA remanded to the amc: A: Was caused or incurred in service B: was made worse or aggravated by SC ptsd. If either one of these are denied then a SSOC is generated. So, just maybe, the A scenario will be granted and the B scenario was denied, therefore SSOC generated. So, maybe a partial grant could be in order?

ok, so I just looked at Ebenefits again and it changed to RED and administration processing. I called the AMC and was told that my claim was closed on 12/31/12 and it is now at the BVA. I was not given a SSOC.....so what does this mean. My remand said that if my claim continues to get denied that the RO is supposed to supply me with a SSOC and time to respond before it goes back to BVA....any takers????

Just got a call from AMC, and was told that an SSOC was sent out, but never returned back. I call BS!!!!! I have been calling the AMC frequently to get status on my appeal, and nothing was ever mentioned about an SSOC being sent to me. Only that a rater was looking at my appeal!! The lady also said she saw nothing on her screen that indicated a SSOC was ever sent to me. Can O" Worms here. She told me that she would get with a supervisor there and find out what was going on, even though it was sent back to BVA 12-31-12, (without my rebuttal to SSOC,if it was needed). It appears that this appeal is going to get even more f'ed up because I have no idea as to what was on the SSOC or if there were anything else needed to resolve my appeal. It looks like my only hope is that someone at BVA will look through the evidence on record and make a correct fair decision.

What normally does a SSOC have on it?

    • 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”
