PTSD diagnosed, confirm stressor, to USASCURR

[USCG MK3]

Hello & thank you in advance

 

I am a USCG veteran, I filed for non-combat PTSD in July 2015, original claim was denied in November 2015 due to lack of evidence. On June 2, 2017 I found new evidence (news paper articles & casualty report) & submitted accordingly opening new claim based on this new evidence. I did this in person at our local VA here in LA. The VA rep that helped me believes I will get 50-70%. I have done my C&P, been diagnosed by VA with PTSD. As of today (10-6-2017), my claim is once again back in the gathering of evidence stage as seen below:

PTSD diagnosed, confirm stressor, to USASCURR

 

1. My questions are, what will happen when the USASCRR doesn’t confirm stressor by the due date?

 

2. Will I automatically receive back pay from original claim date of July 2015?

 

Thank you in advance

"1. My questions are, what will happen when the USASCRR doesn’t confirm stressor by the due date?"

I think the "due date" is an arbitrary date they used.....hope so....I think they must make more than one attempt to get a response from JSRRC.

The evidence you presented must have been probative for the rep to even guess on a rating.I hope the rep is right.

 

"2. Will I automatically receive back pay from original claim date of July 2015?"

 It seems you did not appeal the denial of 2015 but re=opened with new evidence in June 2017.

If the claim is awarded -that will be the date for retro- June 2017.

The older denial might contain a CUE...if they subsequently award the claim.....might....

If so it would be a way to attain a better EED...... Too soon to know.

I hope this goes well for you.
