If a Veteran is direct Service connected why should his claim not go back to the date of service.

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

Very interesting; could have tremendous impact if they agree to an early effective date under these circumstances.

For some reason I do agree with Mr. Cue. I do not believe it will cause more financial issues for the government. Furthermore, it would put more workload on the already missed VA claims deadlines. If this was to pass, vets would have to file a claim for it. Not automatic. 

Not trying to be negative at all but if it does, it probably would take years, maybe decades to implement. 

It would be nice if it would happen.

I also hope this gets granted

In reality it covers equitable tolling based on the Veteran filing a claim within the 1 year deadline.  If it is a win, veterans will have to show a strong reason for not filing the claim within the first post service year.

As of 10:24 am Eastern time, they are currently working on Merrill v. Milligan, a redistricting case. Once that finished, they are supposed to hear Arellano v. McDonough.
