Trying something new for me regards Claims

[Carl the Engineer]

So,

I have been really lazy lately, not really, I have an almost fulltime job taking care of my wife, but, yes, lazy when it comes to my VA claim(s).  I normally would wait until I get everything nailed down tight for everything I am claiming and put it all in on one shot.  But, I don't seem to have the energy to get that all going at this time and the clock is always ticking.  I have one canned, one in the works and a couple down the road a few months (new health insurance, private doctors).

So, my new plan is to send the one done down range, and keep plugging and sending.  I do know that they may add them as they go, but I can't keep putting it off any longer.  Tick-tock.

I have been fairly successful so far with my many claims, so I hope this NEW strategy don't ball it all up, LOL.

And spring is coming, lawn, garden, tractors, etc., etc.,

I have 3 claims I'm waiting to file. I also have an appeal at the bva waiting to go in front of a law judge. My attorney advises to hold off on the other claims until I get a decision. The reasoning is that the appeal has an EED going back to 78 and the VA will somehow use the new claims to change the EED. I've seen the legal brief for the appeal and it sure appears that he's been detailed and concise with lots of new and supporting evidence.

if they are new claims this will affect those start dates.  If you are ok with this then wait, but they can mess with EED every time.
