Question
x020574
I have some pending claims for hearing increase, IHD new, DM II new, ED and Depression secondary to SC disabilities.
They have been pending since 2/2012 and I recently received a phone call from a RO person asking me if I wanted to consider IU. Initially I said yes but after receiving the va form 21-8940 I doubt I'll get it because i owrk part-time and make about twice what the Federal Poverty Level is (approx 19K after business deductions). I am an at home computer programmer, I'm self employed and work part-time because of my disabilities. I could never work fulltime and do not expect I will ever return to fulltime work. I am only able to work 10-15 hours per week under the condition that I can pick my own days/hours to get work done. I have a very accomodating client/employer. I have no other clients because of my stipulations on when I can or can not work.
Given all this, should I bother filling out the form or just tell them I have no other evidence to submit so they can move my claim along?? I'd rather them not hold up my claim while verifying employment info, and unneccesarily clog up the system with claims that are going to go no where.
And by the way, since I said yes I see that they added IU as a contention and eBennies shows the claim going back to gathering evidence... plus they changed the date of completion by adding another year at minamum. Could this have been a tactic to put the claim back in a holding pattern for another year. It is already 17 months old - Boston RO?
