I filed in 1994. I was denied. I submitted new and material evidence. Nothing happened. In 2007 I refiled and submitted the same evidence again. I won-but only from 2007 forward. I filed an appeal for my 1994 date. I lost at the BVA. I went to the CAVC in June 2012. On April 3, 2013, VA decided they were in error. The same sawed off runt BVA Judge now has the ugly task of admitting he was wrong in denying me in 2012. It has been nineteen years and some change. My children have grown up, graduated and now have children. My son was one year old when I filed my first claim and lost. Vengeance is a dish best served chilled as they say. I spotted this on eBenefits today:
P.S. If you’re as blind as me, put your cursor on it and click once. Read ’em and weep, Judge.


Still had trouble reading it although it appears as though it has been received and is in the hands at the BVA. Good luck and hope you hear good news soon. Mine still reads like they are attempting to get it to the BVA but then again the Yak train left in 2011 and is not due back for another pick up until June 2014 so we shall see.
Randy, put your cursor on it and left click.
Well, we are in your corner. Pretty sure we all are.
Well, you know the BVA, sugar. If they can get out the pretzel bender, they will. Since the guys who employ the Veterans Law Judges sent this back down to them to “redecide”, I think it came with assembly instructions a child can fathom. Trust one of those chowderheads to try to find a way to weasel out of it though. I sure thought I had it dialed in 2011 at the hearing but I was wrong then.
I hope that means good news. Chase sends his best!
I hope it does, too. Give my best to the big guy.
