Thread: prostrate cancer

My appeal is younger than yours on docket#.But is older at BVA my appeal was request by BVA on may 7,From the RO.

Well remands are supposed to be expedited. How long have you been at BVA? Remand is just another function that we have to through, when the BVA feels the RO screwed up. You could me right though if mine ever gets that far I would get the feeling that my chances would be 60-40 or 70-30. Good luck on your claim!

Someone else can answer way better than I can since they know how to do the figuring. BUT, what it comes down to is 10% is not added onto 40% to equal 50. Instead their math takes an amount and then somehow takes the next percentage and figures from that amount. After all the figuring is done, the amount is then rounded up or rounded down to the next 00 percentage. If you had had a total of 44 it would round down to 40 or a total of 46 rounded...

Thanks again and happy turkey day.

I have a feeling that the VSO is more involved in this postponement than he/she is letting on as DRO's don't generally postpone hearings. About the only reason that a DRO would initiate such an action is if he knew that he was going to be out of the office that day (and even then it usually gets reassigned to another DRO) or he felt reasonably certain that he could develop additional evidence to grant the claim without a hearing, but...

You were service connected and the hearing loss you have is non-compensable. You need to use these VA hearing loss rating schedule . You have to have a severe loss of hearing to rate a percentage greater than 0%. Your numbers look like level II which is 0% and if in the future your hearing gets worse, you can be re-evaluated.

There is a calculator in this board. Go to VA Disability Claims General forum (just above this one) and it is pinned to the top.

I have a SOP "Never Turn Down A Cold Beer" Lord knows I downed a bunch of warm/hot ones in RVN Rattler Vietnam '68-'69-'70

Here is my question I have had 3 claims in the works for quite a long time now. 1) PTSD 2) Knee and Back Injury 3) TBI, Depression and Anxiety I just got awarded 70% for TBI but was denied service connection for depression and anxiety. Should I request a DRO for the depression and anxiety or just leave it alone and accept my TBI rating?...
