Effective date

[mcsanty]

I am 100% P&T for my back and hips Since November 2017

 

I appeal a claim for Anxiety back in 2015

 

I received the DRO decision from the records department, And it shows that my NOD from 2015 was granted that Day awarded me 100 percent for anxiety/depression, but I’m still Waiting for the reading desition.

 

It shows effective date May 19, 2015, the Question that I have for you is as follow. I had submitted an Informal claim for an increase back in 1997 ;for my back and hips Condition. With the claim, there were Nexuses . Where the doctor Diagnosed and Mention that my back and hips were worse than before, and that I was suffering from Anxiety and depression ,And I was not able to work, and that he prescribed me with medication. But on my claim I was not asking for Anxiety or depression I was approved ,granted 10% for my back and hips The Nexus needed to be translated Because it was in a different language but, I never heard back from the VA regarding this issue.

 

P.S DRO did mention the Nexsus from Dr.from 1997 that my anxiety started that year.

 

Can I still Fight to change the defective date,to 1997

this claim was submitted 7 months after my ETS 

 

Thank you

its interesting but a ton of more precise info would need to be read here. to be honest,,, it seems as if you probably have a claim for earlier effective date based on date of original diagnosis.

for instance... was the informal claim ever picked up on?

if so , did you appeal?

if not why?

and most important ,,, what makes you know an informal claim was put it????
