Can`t Do Anymore

[Cavman]

I have worked and worked on my appeal and new claims, both submitted in September this year. Now I can`t think of anything else to do. Since finding Hadit I`ve been encouraged and taught how to supply evidence and have done so. Its a strange feeling not having anything else to work on except waiting. Anyone else have this feeling?

Cavman,

Would you believe that I am still having to turn in info and it has been 4 years.

Sure hope for a better year this year.

The AMC wished me a Happy Holiday!

I thanked him and said, I have spent 5 Christmas Seasons with the Va.

Have a good one!

Always,

Josephine

Cavman,

My claim is for anxiety and depression and yes I went before the DRO in Roanoke Va. and received my form 9 - a letter stating to have it back in within 60 days and stated, but this was not his final decision, as he was sending me for a C&P.

I had to turn in the form -9 in to the Va. before I received an answer from the DRO on the More likely than not C&P.

I was immediately transferred to another state. Had that stupid Board of two psychiatrist. Anxiety did not begin in service or worsen.

Ruling by that R.O.

We place our weight with the Board as they were psychaitrist.

The BVA didn't buy that, as one would not sign the C&P and were never considered a Board. Remanded in April of this year to AMC.

Finishing up with them, I hope.

I filed originally in 1978 and acquired my psychiatric records in 2004, never seen before by the Va. New and Material Evidence.

Claims back to 1978 are open.

Good luck with your C&P!

Always,

Josephine

Yep and it's a trial not to create something else to sumit. I guess you get a hobby and put the 800 number on your redial.

Now the work really begins. You mist track the claims through the process. You must follow up as oftem as possible. I would use the time you have now to research your medical conditions on the VA Web Site for VBA cases and Court cases to try to gather as much information as you can. You must be ready for anything they can throw at you as they often do. Once you have done this you will be ready to file a NOD when the decision arrives. First decisions are always lowballed ratings or denials.

Remember that Knowledge is power. The more you know the better off you are.

That is what I did. I had to do it for 3 years before I got a favorable decision.
