"If you reopen a previously denied claim by submitting New and Material Evidence, and you win the reopened VA Disability claim based on military records, military service records, or military medical records that were previously unavailable to the VA or that the VA neglected to get in the prior claim, you can use the effective date rule in 38 CFR 3.156(c) to get an effective date of your original VA Disability claim date."
I met with the C&P examiner Nov 1 and afterwards he told me he would report I definitely had bipolar in the service. eBenefits says it is in Prep for decision. I ordered the 30 day Ramp a couple days ago.
Does his examination count as New and Material Evidence? If so, and they go back that far, then I'm astounded.
