Won CUE Claim

[Chiefhouse]

Greetings

I recently won a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) CUE case for Diabetic Nephropathy/Hypertension claim with retroactive increase evaluation to 30 percent disabling from September 2014 and 60 percent is granted effective September 2015. Since I'm already 100% P&T, will there be any retro payment from 2014 to now?

Best Regards

If the 100% is a separate disability, then you might well receive SMC S at the 100% plus 60 Level.

But I am not sure and it is always best to wait for the award letter.

Still this is a Victory!!!

Or they might award SMC S at the Housebound level...

Congratulations!  As Berta already said, it wont amount to retro unless you get SMC s (100 percent plus 60 percent, Statuatory SMC S)  OR, if this new rating has an earlier effective date and serves as an increase.

Thanks for this encouraging response. My CUE claim is being audited by DFAS at the present time...so time will tell if I’m due any retro. This is just one of my claims being worked since 2009. I have five other REMANDED Claims (Docket 11 12 911) that have recently been returned to the BVA for final action. The SSOC denied all of those claims. I will post the results from the BVA.  Have a great weekend and thanks for your wise counsel.
