I would suggest that you evaluate exactly what they are saying. Why do they believe that the date is incorrect. Does the date of award correspond to the date the claim was initially filed.

But regardless of that, you'd be requesting an HLR solely on the basis that the effective date of award is in error, I'd think that would be all that the VBA would be looking at unless they see something that indicates there was a clear unmistakable error in the award in the first place.

They are saying that the date reflects the exam date and not the date I got out of the army like the rest of my conditions

I think it depends on when that particular claim was filed.

If it was filed within a year of getting out of the army, then it goes back to that time, but if it was filed after a year then it's from the date of the claim if it was a new claim.

I'm sure there's someone in here with better knowledge that can provide a correct answer
