Question
Confusedvet1
Hello,
Years ago I filed a claim for a scar from surgery while in service. They granted the scar at 0% . I appealed it saying it was painful and should be rated at 10%. RO denied it so it went to the BVA who remanded it back to RO because the original exam wasn't proper and the VA didn't review records it had that were pertinent to claim. The BVA remand instructions were to review specific records and do a new exam.
I had a new exam and later received a letter from RO saying they granted me 10% but the effective date was the date of new exam. They said that is the first diagnosis of scar pain even though my records going back years show me complaining of pain which is why I suspect BVA told them to review those records. The RO decision letter stated the only used the new exam as evidence for their decision.
So it went back to the BVA and it seems they made a decision. I'm waiting on the letter but website said they granted my claim and also denied it?
Any ideas on how this is possible?
I'm hoping it's a grant for earlier effective date and denial of an increase in excess of 10%? Anyone have any ideas on what they would grant and deny same claim?

We can all get pretty low sometimes. Now I am pretty disabled I wonder what I have to live for, but I have a wife who needs me. I have a brother who needs me. I want my survivors to have something

Your foot is in the door. If your physical claims cause you pain and disability you can probably get a secondary claim for depression. That secondary claim could be more than the original claim. Pe

I guess a Firearm is the easy and fastest way out but I Also had thoughts of SI and the ways I'd do it one of my thoughts was to just get in my Pick-up truck and drive 100 mph into another car
