Question
WomanMarine
I opted into RAMP the first of May, however my VSO did not sign the paperwork and it was not submitted till 5/17.
I had two issues with my claim.
First they did not rate my knee, which was my original injury that has now caused issues with my back and left knee. Secondly, in 1980 the VA removed my 0% rating that the VA had given me in 1976 and totally removed my 'service-connected' injury. This is a CUE as they should have upgraded my disability, rather than totally remove it.
Yesterday I learned that the VA has approved the rating on my knee. This would take my 80% P&T to 100% P&T. I do see that there are benefits that come with 100% P&T, but the record should be corrected to reflect the 'early effective date'.
I do understand that the VA, generally, will only rate on issue @ a time ...
So my question is ... since I had a 'high level review' ... How do I challenge RAMP?
I apologize that I do not have the 'letter' to determine their exact 'verbiage' ... but whatever it is, it will be wrong in this case.

How in the World did you get from May 17 opt-in to a decision in just two months? This sounds like a RAMP record to me. I am a VSO in Texas........to answer your question file now for Appeal Board
