In part:

":4.  The October 2007 claim of CUE in the June 1994 decision 
addresses issues currently pending on appeal.


CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1.  The Veteran's appeal as to the issue of CUE in the denial 
of service connection for a left elbow disability is 
dismissed as no justiciable case or controversy is before the 
Board at this time.  38 U.S.C.A. §§ 5109A, 7104, 7105 (West 
2002); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.105, 19.4, 20.101, 20.200 (2008).

2.  The Veteran's appeal as to the issue of CUE in the 
assignment of an initial 10 percent rating for a left neck 
muscle strain is dismissed as no justiciable case or 
controversy is before the Board at this time.  38 U.S.C.A. 
§§ 5109A, 7104, 7105 (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.105, 19.4, 
20.101, 20.200 (2008)."

And:

"ORDER

The question of whether a June 1994 rating decision granting 
service connection for a muscle strain of the left neck, 
rated 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 5233, contains CUE is 
dismissed.

The question of whether a June 1994 rating decision denying 
service connection for a left elbow disability contains CUE 
is dismissed.


REMAND

As was discussed above, the Veteran has timely perfected 
appeals with regard to the issues of service connection for a 
left elbow disability and initial evaluation of a left neck 
muscle strain.

During the pendency of these appeals, the VCAA was enacted.  
VA has a duty to notify and assist claimants in 
substantiating a claim for VA benefits.  38 U.S.C.A. §§ 5100, 
5102, 5103, 5103A, 5107, 5126; 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.102, 3.156(a), 
3.159 and 3.326(a).  Adequate notice and assistance has not 
been afforded the Veteran under the VCAA with regard to 
either claim, and hence remand is required. 

Accordingly, the case is REMANDED for the following action:

(Please note, this appeal has been advanced on the Board's 
docket pursuant to 38 C.F.R. § 20.900(c) (2008).  Expedited 
handling is requested.)

1.  Provide the Veteran with the notice 
required under 38 U.S.C.A. § 5103(a) and 
38 C.F.R. § 3.159(b), as well as Court 
precedent, to include Dingess v. 
Nicholson, 
19 Vet. App. 473 (2006) (regarding notice 
of assignment of effective dates and 
disability evaluations).

2.  The AMC/RO should specifically request 
private medical records regarding 
treatment of the left elbow and arm 
disability from the time of injury to 
service, or proper releases to allow VA to 
obtain such on the Veteran's behalf.  The 
RO should review the claims file to ensure 
that all the foregoing requested 
development is completed, and arrange for 
any additional development indicated, to 
include provision of VA examinations.

3.  The RO should then readjudicate the 
claims on appeal.  If any benefit sought 
remains denied, the RO should issue an 
appropriate SSOC and provide the Veteran 
and his representative the requisite time 
period to respond.  The case should then be 
returned to the Board for further appellate 
review, if otherwise in order.  No action 
is required of the appellant unless he is 
notified.  "

Can you tell us what service connected disabilities you have now and what is the rating for each one?

I am now fight for smc and I believe I am goin to get it back till 1993. This is the new fight.

I wasn't aware an of smc an it should have been look at. Never done that a cue

The claim should have been iffer when I was grant iu by cfr. An every iu or 100% granted should have a denial on the decision for smc if not fight for your date.

If u look u Can see I have loss of use of hand and elbow. Which is m1/2.

Now I would get a smc I for a&a 

If u quilfy for two different smc I or higher I are to get r1 by cfr.

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
