Berta, from your post you seem like one of the formost authorities on this stuuf, and I could really use your help because I seem to be in a lull or stonewalled. My self and my family really need this money, and my case seems to be quite simple, but they just keep dragging me around. Surely there should be something I could do, but I dont know what. Will you help me, could I call you? or do you want me to just send the paticulars of my case if you are indeed willing to help me Thank You Keith

1.Go to the VA web site and under Comp and Pension go to the query section and then under Comp pension-

file a service complaint and ask them where your money is-

refer to the specific statement and date of the statement in which I recall you said they were aware of the error

2, If that does not resolve it by their response-write to them and ask the VSM to CUE the decision that was incorrect as to the retro payment.

3. If that does not work tell me what VARO and I probably have their director's phone number and fax number-

Or do # 3 first then 2 , then 1 whatever-

As I understood this some time ago and the advise you got here in the past- this error must be brought to their attention immediately-

I have had some math errors in my awards which they resolved in 3 weeks.In one case I got very tough because the decision showed they could not multiply and the other one was an error of almost $12,000 they almost got away with keeping. This error should not have taken this long -as I understand your past posts-

you have to take firm action.

Berta the Varo Office is Huntington West Virginia

Fact #1 On the intial page of my ratings decision its say " 10% is granted for chronic left shoulder bursitis, when you continuing reading the decison in the subsequent parts that break down each issue it states that under Deluca an additional 10% is added to the intial 10% for an overall of 20% for the left shoulder. A higher evaluation of 30% is not warranted due to blah,blah, blah.

Fact #2 I was intially denied hearing loss of the left ear that was service connected at 0%. Had the rating specialist used the correct chart contained in title 38 (in which under those charts it states that the ratings specialist is supposed to use whichever chart benefits the veteran) I would have been rated at 10% not 0% because they used the chart that takes in consideration for speech recognition, well no doubt when you have ear muffs on setting in a booth and they say repeat the words hotdog, airplane etc. in which I scored 96% in voice recognition while being an average decible loss in my bad ear at 105+ decible loss. In the other chart they use the decible loss for your good ear then youre bad ear cross refrence them and thats the point of your percentage which would be 10% im my case.

So from what I would gather my ratings if corrected would be;

20% knee issue, 20%shoulder (if they ever fix it) 10% bilateral tinnutis, 10% mild depressive disorder and 10% for the hearing if they fix it - currently recieving an overall of 40% which should be at least 50% if not 60% argggggg these people have me fighting mad my family and I need this money.

The Va acts like well you know....we'll get to it and you will get it when its complete and blah, blah blah I really feel like turning politicians loose on it maybe that will make them move a little.

PLEASE HELP ME AT MY WHITS END! :lol:
