Question
Guest jstacy
This question is presented for the fine people at Hadit.
Claim filed for Migraine Headaches and Hypertension in 1994. Claim denied for no SMR was available, C@P was provided minus the SMR. ( Hypertension was again diagnosed to compensable level)
Asked to re-open in 1998 after VA had sent statement of case for another claim stating SMR was available.
Re-open request was denied because no new and material Evidence was received. It stated that the service medical was negative for any treatment, complaints or diagnosis of Migraine Ha and HTN. I tried to reopen again in 03. I had a C@P exam last year and got a copy of the record. I went directly to the summary pages for the Separation examination. guess What the C@P examiner and I found. Both issues were plainly listed in black and white. The Doc was great about it and wrote an excellent report. Now comes the hard part. They have been kicking this claim around for close to 4 years. It keeps getting kicked back and forth to the rating board to the development team.
The main question is: Can I get an earlier effective date and is this a CUE.
Any replys are appreciated.
