Ten Year Old Forgotten Claim Now In Administrative Review.

[leadbelly1981]

Hi I served three years in the Army from 2000-03 as a 11c with an honorable discharge. I ets from camp casey korea and had filled a claim during my exit exam for my left knee and left shoulder. Both were approved for tendonitis and i was rated at 20 %. At the time of my exam i also complained of lower back and hip pain on my left side. I belived it was due to my left knee. We were road marching and running a lot in korea, thats what the infantry does. In 2004 when i got my 20% rating for my knee and shoulder the claim for lower back and hip pain were deferred.Fast forward in jan 2013 i went to the county vso and had them help me file for an increase for my shoulder it has continually gotten worse. The claim took a year and at the end i was granted 30%. The weird thing is when i received my rating in the mail the old claims were addressed stating we see that your claims for lower back pain and hip pain in nov 2003 are unreloved sorry for any inconvenience. Online on e benefits the claims for lower back pain and left hip pain just appeared one day and are in administrative review. My question is what do i make of this what do i do?

I stand by my prior advice, sir. Mail them nothing. I expect they'll do a new round of C&P exams on you to make sure they still are obligated to pay you. Be sure you attend each and every one of them. I've seen them "claim" to have sent out a request for a C&P with no documentation in the C-file and then claim you never showed up for the dog and pony show. Result? Denied for another three years until you get to the BVA on appeal. They have enough rope to hang themselves already. They'd love for you to send something else in so they can claim they are baffled as to what exactly it is you want them to do with it. SOP for VA, hoss.

They should schedule the C&P exam/s as part of the additional development

needed.
