tdiu Records Destroyed.

[11bravo]

A year ago I had discovered incorrect dates on my ratings. I went to my dav so with copies of my ratings. He looked on computer it showed my paper records destroyed and incorrect dates down for my ratings of tdiu. 2007 instead of 1995. He advised me to wait until this yr when I had 20 yrs on my rating of tdiu to get it corrected. When I went in jan to see him he told me my records were being scanned onto disc and not to rock the boat as I might get my tdiu taken away. I said wait, I thought my paper records were destroyed over a year ago what is being scanned? Anyway he told me my 70% rating was correct witch was 1993 effective date. But my IU rating was 2007 instead of 1995 which it should be. He also said it showed me being paid at the 100% rate from 1998 instead of 1995. Wanted to know if I had bank statements back to 95 showing deposits which of course I don't. He also said the 2007 date showed something like General Individual Unemployability. I called a dav nso at st Louis, he advised to wait until scanning was done in about a month so all info was there for him to look at.

I have copies of all my ratings, a old champva card of my wifes showing effective date of 1996 and my commissary px card. I thought I would be able to relax after 20 yrs with no worries on being reduced, now my anxiety has worsened over this.

I need adivice on what to do.

Thanks

My spouse does like Ms Berta she keeps the old champ VA card and her new one in her wallet she did laminize the old card with plastic.

champva sends out new cards occasionally or if any changes in the benefits!

I have all my orginal award letters and most correspondence from the VA. I having trouble getting the dav to do anything about it. They told me I might lose my IU if I pursue it. I called the NSO at st Louis he said to wait until the finished scanning the records onto disc about a month so he could see all the info in the file.

Can anyone tell me exactly how to go about getting my records corrected?

go to your VAMC medical records desk and ask for copies all the way back to 1995.

I have copies of my rating awards, I need to get the effective dates corrected. My VARO in ST LOUIS is 12 yrs off on my IU and 14 yrs off on my rating for PTSD. I actually reached 20 yrs on my rating of IU on Jan 25, My VARO has my effective date as 2007. How Do I get The Dates Corrected?

Send a letter to your RO and send copies of your original award letter dated back to 1995...and send copies of the letters your RO sent you dating back to the 2007 date...and Request them to correct this to your original date of your award back to 1995 & send you the original 1995 for your records.

To who this may concern ,

subject: Original Award date Awarding me IU.

(Name & Social )

I Respectfully Request this change as soon as possible

Thank you In Advance

John B Soldier.... Original Award Date and your file No. or social.

Address & zip

or something close to this!

If you can just go in person to your RO! Probably be a lot faster/better than doing it by return receipt snail mail.
