I just received an invitation but now i'm all confused. The form I received was already filled out with a bar code and must be used as a cover letter. I received the bar coded letter, as well. VSO did not need that to file on my behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you request the Form or was your letter written as an invitation as well? My letter wasn't barcoded but the form was at the bottom and I figured that was a scan for my cfile. I guess I don't have to send it in as a cover it just says failure to do so may delay review of material. I'm just curious as to why all the confusion. Maybe my letter was requested months ago and its taken this long to be sent. Maybe that's why veterans have not been opting in. Is everyone receiving letters? I'm sure those that didn't receive an invitation would appreciate the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to opt into ramp, send in the form. Its on the VA website that you no longer need an invitation. OR, you can ignore the quote above and beleive each and every VA employee and every VSO, no matter if they are intoxicated, or have no idea what they are doing. (That is normal for VA). I want to opt in to Ramp but they never sent me a form. The form is not available on the VA website. I called them twice and they told me i would eventually receive the form with my invitation and it would have a bar code on it. They told me they don't have the form available on their website and i looked and could not find it. If i can get a form i will try to opt in to Ramp but if everyone can just send in the form why don't they have it available? I'm not sure the VA wants this program to succeed.

I don't think that is correct, once in you cannot go back... at least that is how I understand the letter that I received.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pending NOD's are about 18 months old and I received the first invitation 2 months ago, so that doesn't seem correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirForceVet81, It appears you are eligible. According to what broncovet cited. Contact your VSO and ask for the program. You are eligible for RAMP if you have a disability compensation appe
