Throughout the MEB process, the VA proposed a 70% rating and then I was approved for Limited Assignment Status and allowed to retire this summer with just over 20 yrs. The letter from the VA says "In the event that the member is not separated from service as a result of the IDES process, this rating is null and void for the purposes of entitlement to VA benefits."
So it sounds like I'll have to re file my claims and go back through all my C&P exams. My question is...does the VA retain all of the medical records that I had to provide that led them to propose the 70% rating from 6 months ago, or do I have to go back through records as if it were day 1 in the claims process?
Thank you all.
