New Changes to VA Procedures in IDES Cases

Have you ever wondered what happens when the PEB adds a new referred condition to your case after it has been submitted to the VA for the assignment of initial ratings?  Or what happens if this new condition develops after your initial VA C&P exams? Will you be disenrolled from the IDES process and have your case sent back for further development?  And, how does the VA handle rating decisions for Reservists and Guardsmen who have been found fit by the PEB but still qualify as veterans submitting a claim for benefits? You will find the answers to these questions as well as how the VA will deal with many other “special circumstances”  in the attached update to Part III of the VA Adjudication Manual.  Be sure to download a copy today and pass it on to anyone who might benefit from it.vaidesm21-1updates81120
