BBE and these clowns - new intiatitive on 2yr+ claims
So I finally received my BBE with official notice of my claim from 2011.
I did get a bump in an already established SC, but the effective date they decided wasn't my file date but last month 04/13. WTF???
So I filed for PTSD, which was denied because the C&P actually diagnosed me with MDD/bipolar with anxiety in the 2nd axis. I initially filed for this my first go around when I got out of service. It was denied SC, because no records in service. Now they said in my BBE that they will now address the MDD, but they won't do it themselves. "We will address the issue with your NOD for Major Depressive Disorder from 2010." So I don't know if this is good news or bad news, I'm hopefully means my appeal with depression would go through, but they are preserving my date from initial claim 2009, and NOD 2010. Or if they will simply deny it again.
The real issue is all the nonsense and bs. As soon as I heard about this initiative for older claims, I knew I was going to get screwed. I even posted saying such. I did an iris inquiry because ebenefits said they had no records. Someone calls me and says, no I"m good to go, they have everything. Than, I was auto denied every contention stating "no records". The bump in rating with the effective date being last month is such total BS, I didn't even see a specialist around that time frame. I totally got screwed so the government can save money.
I know I can file a NOD, but I could be dead in the net 10-20 years before they pull their heads out of their butts and do their job correctly the first time. I should have had MDD be SC in 2005 my first go around, I shouldn't have a 2 year old claim shifted to weeks prior to avoid back pay. I had the same issues now, way before I even filed for increase; but now way worst. I'm at the cap 40% for back, but have still been denied secondarys. Not even any C&P's and with my PCP and specialtiy clinic creating the nexus saying it's directly a result.
I'm happy to get the slight bump after all this nonsense, but I still got extremely shafted. I'm very frustratd and disappointed into this entire system.
