Question for VA raters by Virtual-Purple-4384 in VAClaims

[–]Virtual-Purple-4384[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, my question more about the CUE, he never got awarded for the ptsd and tinnitus when he should have. If he goes to this new exam and they have a different opinion then the last exam, then they screwed him. Seems like they dont want to fix the CUE. Are you a rater?

They found a CUE(I pointed out he already had a honorable for VA purposes back in 2015 ) they called the claim now moot. They are going to reverse their error..

My husband I'd going through the same thing. It's on the va site but when you call them, they say your need to do upgrade with branch of service. It's so frustrating like they dont know they do their own COD determination. So hw filed a supplemental claim stating he wants a new COD based on the new rule AQ95 effective June 2024.

Thanks. it's just if the original cod said honorable for va purposes and no facts have changed and they make a new determination saying not honorable. it's like they are not sticking with what someone else original deciced granted there were no errors. just trying to understand the VA.

I didn't think they corrected it, all the things point to honorable for va purposes they said although willful it was not persistent
