Finally received my C file.

[Wanderer]

I've been awarded 100% via TDIU (70% bipolar & 30% asthma) and I seek back pay to 1997 when I submitted my first claim for bipolar disorder.

In my C file the C&P examiner states he found and lists symptoms of my mental disorder in a 1983 inpatient report of when I was hospitalized for two weeks in a psychiatric ward. Is that sufficient for a CUE claim for the start date of my disability pay?

I suppose reading the 1997 denial decision letter would also be helpful, unless that's what you mean.

Yes, the decisions that granted you the 70% service-connection compared to the decision that denied your claim for bipolar disorder or any mental health disorder.

One point- a CUE can also be filed WITHIN the appellate period. Most of my personal CUEs were filed that way-and the CUE I prepared for my daughter- a CUE and a NOD in it-I raised the CUE issue first  and they reversed in 2 weeks.No need for a NOD.

We have the M21-1MR regulation change to that aspect of CUE.Kanenut posted it.

If we can see the 1997 decision, attached here , we can determine if there is a CUE in it.

But it does sound like a potential  38 CFR 3.156 claim as well...

Please cover your C file # and name prior to scanning it.
