Is there any other number to call or email.

Hello Pete,

I meant nothing personal.

Many are helped by honest employees at the DVA.

Many recieve honest adjudication from claims specialists.

Im not personally responcible for hiring contract thieves, that will say anything to cheat a veteran out of their earned benefits. I'm also not responcible of setting it up so that these crooks profit from their actions, their identity is conceiled and they are protected from prossicution.

Honest DRO's & Rating specialists in my opinion, take heat due to the fact that they refuse to clean up their profession.

Thirty years of having rating specialists process my claim, has left me with a different view of reality of what the Veteran actually recieves.

I find it best to tell it like it is, not how isolated insidents of how it should be, may help a Vet some day.

Can a Vet recieve due process & an honest review of their claim from a DRO or Ratings Specialist at the DVA? In my opinion the answer is yes, but "highly" unlikely.

Watch your six folks.

You have every right to speak out and I think that you have been treated horribly. I was just pointing out that sometimes it works and like Alex Humpfrey used to say here that the more bites at the apple the better the chances of winning

Hello chess,

>I think most Rating specialists are still using this old method of handling claims, rather than the new improved method you suggested.

the old method for me was, having the Seattle VARO advize me to get a complete copy of my service records from National Records in St Lewis in order to prove my claim. So like a fool, from 1975 to 1997 I did so.

I finially recieved 13 months of SMR's out of a four year service in 1997.

In my claims folder, theres a copy of the Seattle VARO's request to St louis record center, to have "all Original" active duty records sent to them in 1977.

What a game. For decades I thought it was the Records Center that was lyin to me because I believed the SO's & the DVA.

I spent decades thinking I would actually get treated fairly by the people put in place to help. What a fool I was.

When your a nut case with a demented mind, it sure would be nice to totally excape reality sometimes, but I just can't seem to do that as well as our president does.

So some things continue to eat & eat at me.

Like watching loved ones suffer while theives get bonuses & raises.

All I can say is, shame on us as a people and as a nation for allowing the continued mistreatment of all US Veterans, old and new.....and their families.

Not if it's a poisoned apple. Every bite is one more step towards death with nothing to gain from it in the end, but an empty hand.

Yes, a few vets are getting their claims approved through DRO's and If the medical opinion didn't come from one of their whores, those DRO's can deny it for any reason they want to make up.

Nothing is standard when it comes to Veterans benefits across this country. It wouldn't surprise me to hear a veteran in California was jailed for the same claim someone in Main was awarded 100% for.

What's the total cost of such a corrupt and dysfunctional agency, along with it's buildings, facilities, court system, employees that can't read English, masochistic Dr's, phone operators, research facilities, etc?

It may be cheaper for the government to pay every disabled vet in the country 1 mil every year, than to keep such a corrupt outfit in business as the Dept of Veterans Affairs comp & pen and it's so called health care system.

My days will soon come to an end, but long after I'm gone these new vets will continue to have their claims processed by the same manner of lies.

My best to you Pete.

The DVA didn't give a damn about Vietnam vets then & still don't.

You new brothers & sisters are just the next in line.

Around 4% of us may get their claims approved and DRO's are involved in the rating process, you do the math.

Watch your six folks and look out for your families!
