I thought I would share this Form 9 info because, even though I am 100% TDIU, the VA has screwed up the effective date, thus shorting me and my lawyer out of roughly $73k. When all is said and done, THIS is why disabled veterans should hire a lawyer.
Do note the various "tricks" that the VA uses to deny appeals. This is what you can expect from the VA, unfortunately. Keep your eyes wide open, if you are at this stage of the process.

Mike... We can use citations like one I used many times ( my favorite reg)(38 CFR 4.6) by stating 38 CFR 4.1 et al..... meaning to include the 4.1 and then consider the 2,3,4,5,6 parts...

I got this email from my lawyer with the above Form 9 write-up. Notice how the lawyer is taking a double pronged approach, filing a NOD (on the TDIU rating) PLUS the Form 9 appeal to the BVA Board.
