Re filing new claim due to call from RVSR?

[Jeeps2creep]

Anyone ever get a call from the RVSR saying to re file your claim due to errors and saying they needed help from a VA Rep at local clinic? Curious to see if I shot myself in my own foot after doing so. I started a claim in February of  2016 and after getting buddy statements, doctors to fill out DBQ's along with all the other paperwork to complete the claim I finally managed to get what I thought was close or correct into the VA benefits via uploading and following the online prompts to what was needed. If anything showed up as needed or missing on the ebenefits page I either called or read what was needed then took care of it and uploaded the information.

Last week my claim status went to "preparation for decision" and I said at least its moving along. Yesterday I get a call from someone stating she was a RVSR and that I needed to re file my claim under a new claim due to having duplicate copies of things and in her opinion not ready for the decision process. She also stated that I needed to go to the VA and get them to represent me along with signing a power of attorney for the VA to do the same. I am confused at some of this process and naïve to things, especially if I have no knowledge of knowing better. I did go to VA and file a claim with the VA rep having power of attorney for what to me is the same thing I already had done in the first place.

Other questions are;

Did I lose all the time from February of last year to now after re filing today or will the process be longer due to adding new things?

If this is not right or foul play can I cancel my new claim or do I just lose everything and start over?

I called her back and told her I did what she stated was needed to correct what I'm not sure was wrong. I looked at the status today and now it says "review of evidence".

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am not really understanding this at all? maybe Ms berta ,broncover,Gastone can chime in here

As I understand if you file a claim or multi-claims  they either will approve them or deny them &give you a reason and bases of the denial and you have 1 year to disagree with the decision,( Notice of Disagreement )

if they closed out your claims because you had multi claims all over the place and filed incorrectly, they need to let you know in writing what the reasons they closed out your claims & give you a choice to rebutal and send you the proper paper work (forms)  seems they committed error.

You could possibly ask them to CUE them self for this reason.

but I am not really understanding a lot of this?

Remember medical evidence wins claims and dates and locations of the event  that caused or related to your sleep apnea  or OSA Like police reports Dr's statements  ect,,ect,,,

Sleep Apnea Claims  you will either need probative evidence from military service medical reports or some type of sleep disorders from a qualified Dr  Buddy statements will help that your sleep pattern was noticeable  like snoring / stop breathing  ect,,,ect,, or a Specialist to nexus the S.A. to your accident ect,,ect,,while in the military.  sleep study done and a OSA Diagnose (Sleep Apnea)

Other factors are involved with S.A. as well.

I hope others will chime in here.

Yes Buck52 I as am not understanding some of this either at all. I did call the 800# today and spoke with someone on the phone and they stated that the only change they see to my claims is that I now have a VA rep listed. So for now I'm just going to have to sit back and see what transpires. They did say that my claim now does not have a expected completion date which she didn't understand but she can only tell me what's in front of her.

Buck52 I do have all the evidence you spoke of and sent that with my original claim.

1) Doctor filed out DBQ and signed, 2) 2 separate sleep study reports from 2 different doctors 3) Buddy statement from the guy who drove me into the telephone pole 4) Notarized copy of the ticket and date he received it from 1986, 5) 3 more buddy statements from ex wife and crew members I served with.
