Question
elcamino_77us
Good Morning,
From everything I've read in here on EED's, reading Claims, and the Regs, The following holds true:
1. Once a Informal Claim has been made, the VA has to send the Veteran a form to fill out.
2. The Veteran has one year to fill out the form and submit the Claim.
After reading Berta's Post "Eed Back To Date Entitlement"
I've come up with the following concerning my Case.
I was discharged Nov of 1995, Feb of 1996 I was given a Audio C&P Examination in whch I was found SC for Hearing loss. In that Audio C&P Examination, the examinor made the following statement:
He reported progressive bilateral hearing loss and occasional bilateral tinnitus, onset 1993 or 1994.
At the time I didn't know the Tinnitus and Hearing Loss were two seperate claims. I've since been service connected for Tinnitus.
The VA didn't bother to tell me nor did my VSO. The VA never sent me a form to fill out and file. Failure to Assist. Therefore, the one year limit doesn't apply in this case.
That exam along with two entries for Tinnitus in my Service Medical Records, should give me an Earlier Effective Date to date of Discharge.
Any Thoughts
Bill
