Sample NOD

[vern2]

Behind the times. Was not aware of the AMA took effect on 19 February  2019. PLEASE DISREGARD MY POST. GO TO ASKNOD for latest on AMA, and how to appeal.

I have created a  sample NOD to use in your response to the VA denial of benefits letter. Please ensure that you use the correct VA form, 21-0958 dated Sept 2018, or later. It would be helpful if some of the senior moderators would review my post and comment on it.

Quote from asknod.org

''The Transition From Old NOD to New NOD'' 

''If you aren’t lost yet, hold on. If you are still in the old, original Legacy system, and recently  got a decision but have not yet filed a NOD, you will continue to use the old VAF 21-0958. ''

''You will have to wait for a grant or a denial and the issuance of a SOC or SSOC  in order to opt into the new AMA system. At that time you would logically choose the Board of Veterans Appeals option and get the hell out of your local Funhouse.''

Ms berta

I was reading over at Alex blog (Asknod.Org)

Here is a quote 

''As with anything you do in VAland, it pays to read all the literature VA mails you.

Gone are our old friends the VAF 21-526b and the newer VAF 21-0958-after February 14th. Yeppers. You no longer file a notice of disagreement (NOD) on a VA Form 21-0958

… well, that is, if you got the decision before February 14th , 2019, yes you do..VA quit work on the 14th and began again on the 19th so any decision on or after February 19th fall into the new AMA system.

The use of the 0958 ceased on February 14th, 2019 at midnight for what was then RAMP. Confused yet?

You now have what appears to be two 21-0958-like choices. In reality, the truth is you are going to be funneled into two equally distasteful scenarios. Either one is a poor fit compared to the old method. 

I have not filed a NOD in over 10 years, so if we do not use the 21-0958, what form or format do we use to filed a NOD after we get the denial letter?

Vern2 above statment  but it don't have the New NOD Form#

As Ms berta mention she will read more on this New RAMP  as we all do not understand the full load of RAMP.

 

As I understand this  veterans that filed claims After 2 /19/2019   will be in the RAMP Process...Veterans that have filed before 2/10/2019 will still be in the traditional claims process   after a denial and veteran receives his SOC/SSOC  it is then he/she will be placed in the RAMP

 

If this in incorrect elder members please correct me.

OOPS, BEHIND THE TIMES. RAMP IS THE NEW VA PROCESS TO APPEAL, SO NO LONGER CAN USE THE OLD FORMAT. NEW RAMP IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. LOTS OF MINEFIELDS. READ WHAT ASKNOD AND OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN ON IT. please disregard my sample NOD as it is obsolete.
