Not Sure About Cue

[ron68]

hi i was denied a claim for sinusitis in 1996, reason for denial no medical evidence. asked for a copy of my c&p and in the medical report form 21-2507 the doctor states almost complete blockage and i have to breath through my mouth, they did approve my claim for sinusitis in 2012. can i put in a cue for an erlier effective date, or do i appeal for that.

Ron I dont mean to sound Pickey but Help me. Do this.

Claim filed Year

Denied Year Reason Denied

You said C and P exam said complete blockage. Was that on the Denial Letter?? Of course back then were screwed because this was before the VCAA and the VA was like a bunch of Bandits with their not so well grounded bullcrap.

If this was in their posession and they didnt use it as evidence than you may be able to get your original date but you may have to get Bergmann Moore involved because these folks are too beligerant to fess up and fix it.

hi jbasser claimed filed 1996. reason for denial no medical evidence, 1996 form 21-2507 states sinisus almost completly bloccked veteran has to breath through his mouth. in 2012 i reopened my claim and won, the c&p examiner said evidence in my c-file and the fact most people with asthma have sinus problems was his rationale.

sorry the only thing on my denial letter was no medical evidence to support

Read over 38 CFR 3.156 new and material evidence to see if it applies to you. Its a much easier route to get an eed than CUE. Cue is the last resort.
