hypertension Cue Response To My Cue Notice

[vern2]

Greetings, Have not been on this forum in many months. I just wanted to make a comment about my CUE notice.I sent a FOIA in to St. Petersburg RO after I sent my CUE notice, and saw the attached form in my c-file. Not sure what it means since I have never received a response to my CUE.

This is VA form 21-6789-E found in my c-file

It has the RO number (317) and date of rating which was 9/19/13.

then in

block 4 it states: note: the rating has been deferred pending receipt of data indicated below

Block 7: see below

Block 8: Explanation of reason(s) for deferral

Please cest EPO24 for Veteran's claim for a CUE regarding Rating decision dated 4/5/2007 for hypertension with mild pulmonary hypertension. Thanks

My note: check mark above date and signed completed below it.

Block 9 rating specialist JL Smith

There is no date on this form but had to be after I sent CUE notice on August 29, 2013, BEFORE the rating decision was made on 9/19/13

So what does this mean. I have tried for last 3 days to call Peggy, but system tells me long wait and then hangs up on me!

I have filed another CUE about missing documentation and have requested de novo review by DRO, but no response on this either- sent last month.

You can call a CUE yourself until your claim is final. Cue is the last resort believe me. CUE rules are not vet friendly. AskNod says your CUE must be visible from the moon to win.

yes, I have a clear CUE, but what does the statement cest EPO24 mean?

I responded a few hours ago to your other recent post on this matter.

Greetings, did more research and found some interesting news on EP (End Products). Below is copy of post i just did on Veterans Benefits Network, another forum.

Note: the bold text is highlighted by me!

I filed a CUE in August 2013, and then requested a c-file some months later. Noticed a form 21-6789E in my c-file. The form states my rating has been deferred pending receipt of the data indicated below, then Block 8 states Explanation of reason(s) for deferral

Please cest EP024 for Veterans claim for CUE regarding rating decision dated 04/05/2007 for hypertension with mild pulmonary hypertension.

There is check mark above "dated" and some hand wrote "completed" beneath the reasons for deferral.
It is also signed by a rating specialist JL Smith.

Looked this up online and found a page where a VSO organization wrote letter to Congress and President in September of 2013 about EP 024.

A new EP024 with a special issue (OCR with a second review), see VBA letter 20-13-15

HOWEVER THE VETERANS CLAIM IS STILL AS OLD AS IT WAS WHEN INITIALLY SUBMITTED AND BOOKS HAVE BEEN COOKED.

will be contacting Jeff Miller next week about this next week.


This letter is from AFGE local 520 to House and Senate VA Committees on Sept 29, 2013.

update on my CUE, which was listed in eBenefits as claim. No response for 7 months, so sent IRIS and inquiry. This is response I received today. Note; this had not been listed as CUE claim until today!

same old VA, over one year to make a decision, and never contactged me for any questions, info or nothing

the comment by me are what I found in the preparation for decision box. this has differnet estimated datge than the estimated completion date. Preparation for decision was June 5, 2014, same date as my IRIS query! Strange or more of VA trying to cook the books.
