auenone Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Appreciate the reply. Been a long road from Vietnam to filing my first claim in 2012. Seems longer since then, almost. Except for a knee replacement that is looming closer each day, I hope I am over this soon. The VA is supposed to be there for us and at times, seems to be the enemy instead. The "logical" thing initially would have them reach out to us with a medical inspection and go from there instead of "misplacing" records and having one of the heads of QTC be a former secretary of the VA and getting C&P's from unqualified specialists, like the gynecologist for sleep apnea? Merry Christmas to all and hope things work out faster than eventually. Thanks for all of the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auenone Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Talked to a guy at the VA 800# and he said they go back to what your % was when the new claim goes into effect. If you were getting 50% and you were getting $500 and 80% was $1500, you get the balance of $1,000 for that month and on and on. If you have another award and you get 60% during this time, the $1,500 minus whatever you get that month and on and on. I thought when you received 30% it was just months of beginning of award date to claim determination. It always seemed like that before. He said to fax in a letter and have them audit the award back to the start date. Wondering if I'm opening a can of worms? Will see what happens and thanks for the posts.
