681 and 687 and 405 are VA end
products.
Vietnam Veterans and survivors who
were previously denied service-connection (between September 1985 and end of
month September 2010) are listed as end product 687.
An additional number of new claims have been received since the Secretary announced his intention to add three new conditions to the presumptive list on 13 October 2009. These claims submitted from October 2009 until the final regulation was passed on 31 October 2010 are listed in end product 681.
All of these claims (681 and 687) must be adjudicated/re-adjudicated in order to comply with the Final Nehmer Stipulation. This is why you will hear about or see a claim as being "RATE REVIEW". If during the rate review the VA finds nothing in the claim file that "could" be a claim that was previously denied or some how not processed under Nehmer will remain in the 681 end product and go on to regular claims processing. Generally the retro pay will go back to the date the claim was filed but not before October 2009.
IF during the Rate Review the VA finds "something" in the 681 end product that "could" be a possible "old" claim or an item that could be processed as a Nehmer then the 681 is changed to the end product 687. ALL 687 claims require additional follow up by the VA as generally it means there is an "old" issue that needs to be resolved/addressed. The retro pay on a 687 claim "could" go back to September 1985, depending when a claim is found to have been made but denied.
A 405 end product is a claim made AFTER 1 November 2010, unless during a rate review the VA finds out something and it could change the end product to 681 or 687.
