rdawg Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 After 3 weeks of no response using the normal channels of epeggy and 800peggy I called the RO directly yesterday using the numbers Berta provided. It took some time but I got thru and spoke to a person who (after some convincing) agreed to look into why my combined rating of 40% was less than my fisrt rating of 50%. I just got a call from the RO and they somehow just figured out that they made a mistake and forgot to include my sleep apnea award in my combined rating. I congradulated them on thier keen detective work and asked what my overall rating is now. 70% combined. ALL thanks to Hadit. Thanks for the numbers at the RO Berta!!

Berta Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thank YOU for taking fast action. This is GREAT!!!!! I assume they are preparing a new award letter. If you are unemployed I hope they make a TDIU statement in the new letter and also enclose the TDIU form. Everyone here does their best to help anyone with a problem and your problem here might well have helped some other vet out there get through to this same VARO. It sure beats filing a NOD on stuff like the problem you had. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
