I got discharged in 1991 for what I'm getting treated for and now rated 100 percent due to same issues I'm trying to get earlier effective date to time of discharged! I'm told 26 yrs later that I was approved back in 1991 and I wasn't notified til 2015 til when I was encouraged by other veterans to go un and try again

I received a letter stating that the Regional Office Director is returning my appeal to BVA. Sounds like my appeal had been to BVA, went to ROD, and going back to BVA. Is that a good or a bad sign? Thank you.

So in the decision that is issued remanded. Does the decision actually say the word remanded. So the claimant understands it’s not necessarily a bad thing?

@CCK_Law 5 жыл бұрын

Laurie Grivel, thanks for tuning in! Board decisions will clearly state that an issue (or issues) has been remanded. If an issue has been remanded, the Board decision will include a section listing the remand instructions that the Regional Office must follow. We hope this helps, and that you found this video useful!

Another question, I've been following a page on Facebook to initiate Apportionment on VA benefits to prevent child support payments from being taken. I personally have trouble understanding all the legal jargon and what exactly the initiation is for. Are you up to speed on that or familiar with it? The page is called Disabled vet child support info
