Hey All

On Jan 5,2016 I went to St Pete Dav regional office to check file...lady pulled my file up and stated they denied your claim for increase and iu on Dec 10,2015..I told her I haven't received any paperwork from VA...I told her about my Voc Rehab letter which I had filed...she checked and said its there.but they did,nt list it on denial letter....Soooooo...she filed a NOD on denial of increase on ptsd...and stated Voc Rehab letter for increase to 70%....Here's the kicker!!!!   I just got aletter from VA stating: Notice of Disagreement that you recently submitted is premature,because the action with which you have disagreed has not yet taken place. Also: Today I got my decision packet...Va gave me 10% for a knee condition but denied my increase and iu..In this decision I see the Voc Rehab letter listed as evidence reviewed.....I can now see exactly what happened here and wonder if I have any recourse? When Dav went into my case the rating decision was not finalized and enacted...and she based it on that....and filed the NOD for increase on ptsd to 70%...Now where do I go??? Thanks for all the help "All".....Allan

I didn't even know that you could file a NOD before they sent out a letter with the decision on it for you to disagree with.
