0 Moderator pacmanx1 Posted May 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) 13 hours ago, 63Charlie said: The BVA awarded service connection @ 0% rating in October, 2020, and ordered the VARO to perform a new C&P exam to determine my current level of disability for my pes planus and related foot/ankle disorders. I received the C&P exam in 2020 shortly after the BVA ordered one. However no new rating for these disabilities has been forthcoming. Now here it is May 23, 2021 and I still have the same 0% rating, with no new rating decision by the VARO. The VA knows that an increased rating for my feet/ankles will allow an EED for my SMC-S. But anyway..no movement still. It can take six months to a year. My last BVA grant took fourteen months, my local VARO returned my BVA grant without implementing the order and the BVA had to force them to implement their decision.

0 Community Owner Rattler Posted May 24, 2021 Community Owner Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Vync Thanks for the response it is helpful. I never thought of it as a possible CUE claim because VRO failed to wait for the C & P exam before issuing the SSOC that lead me to the BVA. When I call the 800 numbers (And at the BVA hearing) and question why they give me a % ratting I am told that it was because I was rated under Chapter 17 for treatment purposes only because of my UTH discharge. I would be interested in knowing your opinion if that is a CUE also. As for as VSO go I would not piss on most of them if they were on fire in the middle of the road. The first experience I had was with a Red Cross VSO who represented me before the Army Discharge Review Board in 1982. Back then there was a Manual put out by the ACLU that walked you through how to do a discharged up grade including ADRB case that would require the Board to decide in your favor. So I go to the ADRB I get up and start to present my list of 26 issues. I got 7 bird Col's looking at me like I got a third eye in the middle of my heard. (I am thinking WTF) I get the decision back the first sentence after the about narrative says, "Claimant's counsel removed the claimants' list of contentions before the hearing." (Strike No 1) After having been diagnosis with PTSD due to MST in June of 2017 I applied for an Charter of discharge review with the VA. (I had one done back in 1981 before the PTSD/MST diagnosis) I request a personal hearing and I request a Veterans rep help me at the hearing. Before the hearing I submitted my MH records showing where the VA diagnosis with PTSD due to MST and one Doc filled out a DBQ ratting me at 70%. So I go to the hearing in 2018. I am represented by the American Legion. He as me sign a power of attorney. The SOC denies me and rubber stamps the 1981 decision with no records listed other than the 1981 ones. So I go after my C-File. When I get it back and review it. (All 1800 pages) I find a form in the file that states, "American Legion representative removed the veteran's exhibits before the hearing." (Strike No 2) Having said all that there are some good VSO that will fight tooth and nail and file a "fully develop claim" for you. In 39 years that has not been the case by my experience. Most are just form pushers as it is easy to fill out a form and submit it to get you out of there face than work the claim.

BroncoVet is correct; however think positive. The information to rate the claims is probably already present in the paperwork. Rejoice in the BVA grants and everything will work out. Co

While the BVA has some discretion here, often they "chop up claims". For example, BVA will order SERVICE CONNECTION, and leave it up to the VARO the disability percent and effective date. I ha

And don't forget bilateral if both are affected.
