From the Article

Quote

The United States Supreme Court has decided to take up a case that could have major ramifications for thousands of veterans.

The case involves a Navy veteran who believes his disability compensation from the VA should have begun from the date he left the military, not when he filed the paperwork.

The Supreme Court’s decision could result in a large number of veterans receiving back pay on their disability compensation, many of whom waited years to file their claims. Read Full Article Here

We are all curious as to what the out come is going to be. If granted, what do the rest of the Vets have to do? How long will it take? Is there enough money to backpay all Vets that falls in this situation? 

I am like most that are following this. I got out in 2009, was only awarded 10% for tinnitus. Went back 2012, was awarded PTSD 50 and flat feet at 10. I had these conditions prior to leaving the military. I did not fight for an eed because I didn't know. I filed the claim by myself. But I do feel as to I should have an earlier eed because I had these conditions when I exited the military.

When I claimed  CUE on my TDIU claim awarded in 1999, where I was not awarded Housebound,   they had just issued VAOPGCPREC 6–99 which wouild not allow Housebound with TDIU. Wne bradley v peak was decided the court said VAOPGCPREC 6–99  was wrong and needed to be withdrawn and it was.  Ironically, the court cited another General Counsle opinion of 1994, ( if I remember correctly)  and said this opinion was correct, so the va had two general counsel opinions in contradiction with each other so the good one from 1994 was ignored and they were applying the 1999 opinion. When the BVA denied my CUE claim they said they it was not a cue since the laws and rules in effect ( in 1999) at the time of my award were the basis of them not awarding the Housebound, This is exactly what the SCOTUS is looking at in this case, IE: the laws and rules that were in effect at that time... if the court throws this out as lame, it will open the door  to thousands of CUE claims just for Bradley v Peak, and mine will be one of the first, I just have to dust off my claim and resubmit it. That would be 8 years of back pay.. wouldn't that be nice,. And it is becaue of this that I think the court will rule against the veteran, but if they do its a terrible reason to deny it, because the VA has illegally denied these claims for years.

You can throw in a motion at the BVA to join in my BVA Appeal on the appropriate motion(s).  Reference my name and date of the motion you are joining.  You won't have to wait as long because the decision will probably easily be changed on the outcome of Arrellano. 

Arrellano is still in progress and likely to be decided next year

I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I don’t have much faith in the Supreme Court anymore.

Thanks.  Was aware of that but did not state it.  No leak so we do not know where it is in the initial vote.
