intent to file question

[mos1833]

hi all 

i sent in what i thought was a nod

the va said i had to use a certain form .

thats not my question now.

this question is they are calling this an intent to file /

they sent a rating decision thats says ever thing remains denied.

based on your claim received on dec-3-2013 .

what they received was an inquriey from me,asking about a cue claim filed in 2002.

any way i want to add stuff to nod which is now an intent to file .

in other words, am i limented to what i claim.

thanks

You must use a 21-0958 for NOD's after March 24, 2015. Not sure how they can interpret your inquiry as an intent to file though. That usually involves the VA sending a letter with the prescribed form(s).

You wouldn't be able to "add" stuff to your NOD anyway. You can only file a new NOD and have 2 concurrently pending Appeals.

I don't understand how you are limited to what you can claim?? You didn't send a claim for anything. Sounds like the VA mis-interpreted the paperwork you sent in (surprise).

i think your right.

i filed an inquriy-- because they never decided a cue i filed in 2002,  i filed that in 2013

well they sent me back a letter stating my claim for my back was denied, and that includes

the cue i filed in 2002.

but before i got this letter all i wanted was for them to tell me the date they decided my cue,

because i dont think they did.

sorry i dont make it clear . but its not clear to me.

thanks

No problem at all. They should be able to tell you when they denied the CUE, and they should be able to send you a copy of the decision that denied it. A FOIA (Freedom of Information) request might be one avenue for you to get a copy of their decision (if they really did make one).
