What is a Notice of Disagreement Transcript
After you file a claim with the VA, you will receive a rating decision. The rating decision is the VA’s response to your claim. If you disagree with this VA decision, you can file a form 21-0958. This is known as a notice of disagreement. Most veterans who file notices of disagreement with the VA do it for one of three reasons.
First, the VA denied service connection. The next issue that can be appealed is correct disability rating. Veterans often feel that the VA rated them too low. The third is the effective date. A veteran may be upset with the VA because he or she filed a claim two or three years ago, yet the effective date on the rating decision only goes back one year.
If you do not file a notice of disagreement within one year of the date of the rating decision, the decision becomes final.
