Nod Filed Timely

Question

Posted

NOD filed timely for my one claim but a prior decision was not from my initial claim which was stated the reason for their denial of this current claim of PTSD. My attorney filed Cue on that decision 4 years after it has been made pretty sure as my claims are complicated a DRO hearing will not be coming in soon in Philadelphia. Does anyone know if all the VA drama is speeding up anything with the DRO processing?

The quick answer is NOTHING is speeding up in the appeals area, that is except for tons more

of them coming in.

Your wait for a DRO hearing will most likely be scheduled 1-3 years from submission of the NOD and

request for your hearing.

How about posting exactly what your claim of CUE was submitted for.

The exact legal error/s you feel they made and how if not for this error, it would

have manifestly changed the outcome.

Thanks

Sorry Carlie it was submitted for a denial for my TBI car accident, when they did a LOD after my service department had their formal LOD investigation and determined it was my cars defect in the airbag not deploying in 2006. Then in 2014 GM said it was my ignition switch which was the reason why my airbags did not deploy, power steering failure, and power brakes failure. Which had me upset since they told me in 2008 they had no idea what caused my airbags not to deploy. Cannot sue GM since it was prior to their bankruptcy. So my actions are not the proximate cause of this disability but the defect in the car causing the airbag not to deploy is my reasoning for the cue and if they wouldn't have denied my claim in 2011 I would have been able to get the help for my memory I need to function in my everyday life.

      VA Disability Payment Schedule for 2025

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
