(CAVC|BVA) Remands & (10) year rule in effect.

Rate this question


Oakley

Question

I've been mediclally retired since June 27,2012 with the same disabilities I have today been 100℅ unemployable P&T AND THEN 100℅ Schedular from :(June 27,2012) and "housebound in fact,"  which is the SMC (S-2), from    (June 27,2012).

 

So the (10) year rule is in effect, if that even means anything, the VA will do what the hell it wants and break every rule on the way as they laugh about it,let's face it. 

 

So I couldn't get anything successful on my claims at my local VARO they just deny,deny,deny without even considering the evidence in front of them. So I appealed to the BVA which after a year granted everything (8) different contentions ALL  "GRANTED,"                      NO  "REMANDS, I was very excited about this, but the only concern was  the effective dates were way off, by years!

 

So, I filed with the court of veterans appeals or CAVC, about correcting the effective dates and the judge at CAVC agreed with me and ordered that it be "remanded," back to the BVA to correct the "Effective Dates," that are more consistent with his decision.

 

So here we are, the LOCAL VARO, denies everything I've asked to be awarded, several times over, I then send in the same disabilities, with same amount of evidence, that my local VARO had this whole time, and the "Judge" at  the "BVA grants" everything,  and the BVA judge also finds a "CUE,"  on the local VARO for not awarding me or even considering the  SMC (S-2) with effective date (June 27,2012). Then the judge at CAVC agrees that the effective dates need to be corrected and order it remanded back to the BVA to correct this to be more consistent with this decision.

 

So the next part is where In have some issues with BVA GRANTS ME EVERYTHING THAT LOCAL VARO DENIED, THE CAVC JUDGE AGREES THE DECISION IS CORRECT BY THE BVA FOR AWARDING ME BUT MUST BE REMANDED BACK TO BVA TO CORRECT THE EFFECTIVE DATES, THEN ONCE THE BVA GETS THE REMAND, THE BVA JUDGE, NOT THR SAME JUDGE WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL GRANT OF ALL MY CONTENTIONS,  BUT A DIFFERENT BVA JUDGE, THIS WAS  (2) WEEKS AGO BY THE WAY WHEN IT WAS COMPLETED,  DOESN'T EVEN MENTION MUCH ABOUT CORRECTING THE EFFECTIVE DATES, WHICH WAS THE WHOLE  REASON FOR WHY THE  CAVC JUDGE REMANDED, IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT THE BVA JUDGE WANTS ME TO GO THRU ALL THE EXAMS AGAIN FOR AID AND ATTENDANCE, AS HE DOESNT LIKE THE NOTES OR RESULTS FROM MY MEDICAL RECORDS?? 

 

SO THE BVA JUDGE THEN "REMANDS A REMAND,"  ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE VARO, TO CORRECT THIS, BUT KEEP IN MIND, THIS ALREADY AFTER A BVA JUDGE GRANTED EVERYTHING WITH THE EVIDENCE IN FRONT OF HIM, THEN A CAVC JUDGE, AGREES WITH THE BVA AWARD, BUT REMAND BACK TO THE BVA TO CORRECT THE EFFECTIVE DATES, THEN THE BVA JUDGE ON REMAND DOESNT MENTION MUCH ABOUT CORRECTING THE EFFECTIVE DATES, WHICH WAS THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE REMAND BY CAVC IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT THEN BVA JUDGE REMANDS, IT BACK LOCAL VARO, TO HAVE ME RETAKE ALL THE EXAMS "AGAIN"  ON A DECISION THAT A JUDGE AT THE BVA ORIGINALLY GRANTED AND A CAVC JUDGE AGREED THAT THE DECISION WAS CORRECT BUT TO CORRECT THE EFFECTIVE DATES.

 

So as of right now the local VARO has the remand/appeal from the BVA.

  So is this legal? 

 

Whats your thoughts on this?

 

"(10) -year rule in Effect"

 

Thanks!

I also have to challenge anything that have to do with the VA Claims insider.  They use uncertified Claims Agents. Than the contract you sign with them requires vet to pay them thousand of dollars out of there back pay above and beyond what a certified claims agent or attorney would charge even if you don't win.

OK I went out and looked at the redacted doc I posted with the above. I see nothing in it that has an SSI. Try putting a link to what you are talking about.

Why should I make things up? Read your attachments again and again until you see it. I will not post it or give someone else access to it; also, how could I know that your last four is between the numbers of 8258 and 8315?

My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.

Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.

I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

On your document attached earlier to one post removed as were some of my attachments, I pointed out that you had not redacted the last 4 of your SSN.

Why do you think the VA and other civil hospitals have you stand back so you cannot hear other people securely identifying themselves.  The more we let out the less the scammers need to complete our identity to raid our bank accounts, get credit cards in our names, use our ID for medical care, etc.

Simply put, as pacman posts, the less we put out here on the public internet forums the more likely we will avoid one of those problems.  Getting identity theft insurance from our credit card company or bank is not enough.  We have to pay more attention as neither you nor I did in posting our attachments. 

I see what the forum controllers are trying to do.  Protect HADIT from getting a red flag warning such as you will find on auction.com when you try to look at a foreclosure property.  A recent experience I had looking to help my brother find a property to move off his mountain cabin nearer to his daughter.

I would like to continue to use HADIT to help myself and others.  I do not want it red flagged.

I think maybe I know what is causing the discrepency between Pacman's suggestion that the ssn was not redacted, and others suggesting it was redacted:

There are several varieties of .pdf files.  Each has "differences":

Here are a few of them:

n Detail: The Different PDF/A Standards
  • PDF/A-1: (ISO 19005-1:2005) PDF/A-1 is the original PDF/A standard, the most commonly used today, and the most restrictive. ...
  • PDF/A-2: (ISO 19005-2:2011) ...
  • PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3:2012) ...
  • PDF/A-4 (ISO 19005-4:2019) ...
  • Level b (Basic) ...
  • Level a (Accessible) ...
  • Level u (Unicode.   

Additionaly, I use "open office" for PDF files, which is still  different than Adobe Acrobat pdf files.  

The variances of the many .pdf files could well mean differences in what we see. 

Finally, many times files are converted both to and from other files to .pdf files, and what ever software converts them, also varies.

I hope I am wrong, but I think that the poster missed redacting it. I say this because I can see where certain information is redacted but when it comes to what I posted on there is no redaction.

I saw it the same way and noted on my first post after looking at it that the last 4 had not been redacted.  I use Acrobat Pro DC which redacts very well and is acceptable in the courts without being locked.  After that our attachments were deleted on your recommendation.  Thanks for looking out for us and conversely, HADIT.

The courts did allow the last 4 and YOB to be not redacted the last time I filed.  But now, I redact both in any filing.  Why bother with just half.  In rattler's case the first six digits of the SSN were xxx out leaving only the last 4.  I suppose that was on the court's securing requirements.

Some of my bank and credit card statements use the xxx's to blank enough of the account number to minimize mail theft id theft.  Mostly I get statements online where they do the same.

Even the credit score companies do the xxx with ID information or your credit reports.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
