Missed filing a VA claim within one year presumptive...

[IndySam]

Hi all

So I am trying to wrap my head around filing the claim within one year thing and it is presumed to be service-connected. I have googled and searched this forum, but I am still a little confused. 

So way back in June of 2007 (discharge Dec 2006) I went to the VA and enrolled for medical care. I sought treatment for my back, anxiety/depression/eating disorder. And started getting help. I also was approved for some program in the VA where they were going to pay for me to go to CDL school. I didn't do that cause I found another job on my own.

Anyway, no one mentioned I could file a claim. I thought I had to be missing an appendage or something.

So now 16 years later, will my visits to the VA hospital from 2007 count or be looked at favorably by the VA reviewers?

Thanks!!

I was merely stating what I had read while researching and pursuing my claims over the yrs.  I'm 100% positive of what I read & said.  However, I am too old and no longer care to waste my time trying to prove anything to anyone.  This site used to have some great posters and researchers here, but alas some have since passed, moved on or moved on to other sites.  Hadit used to have a lot of traffic but doesn't seem to anymore.  Sad, as t-bird has worked hard on it.  I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on my post.
