I live in extreme east Kentucky and my records are at the Louisville Ky Regional Office that is almost a 4 hour drive each way. I get my VA medical care at the Huntington WV. VA medical center and the VA Regional office is also in Huntington. To get there is only a 1 hour drive. Is it possible to switch RO's? What brought this to my mind is this. scan0006.pdf

The posts in this forum are placed by much younger veterans than myself, but "The more things change, the more they stay the same" I could detail my experiences with this regional center, but how it is changing is detailed better by going to the below URL at the News Journal newspaper at Wilmington, Delaware. Maybe I should wait and revise my experiences there? http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/nation/military/2015/03/21/docs-nurses-investigated-whilework-mounts-others-wilmington-va/25137901/

Based on an experience I am trying to straighten out where my VSO was changed either by clerical error or some other devious reason. I suggest everyone check all your info that you can. This has caused me a lot of grief in trying to get the dependency payments reduced after my wife of 64 years passed away.

I would like to point out that a veteran can request a hearing at thier local Regional office at any time your claim is still there, . If you would like to try and get something cleared up, you can request a conference and they will see you, prior to a decision or after.. . I didnt know this until not too long ago. I think calling them would be much easier but they dont allow it. Shortly after a negative decision has been made, before the ink dries good, can be a good time for a conference, that could clarify wrong information, and lead to a favorable claim, also, at a hearing, you can ask the regional office EXACTLY what needs to be done to win your claim, if there is…

VA Compensation Issue - What Does It Mean?
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Question Posed: So my appeal was closed on July 15. I haven’t received my letter yet, but under the issues tab on va.gov, where it used to say the items I was appealing, it now says “compensation issue.” Is that normally what it says just when they close the review? Has anyone seen any other terminology in that section?
Answer:
Compensation issue simply means your claim is for disability compensation as opposed to some other kind of claim Maybe an upgrade for discharge for example. Most claims that are submitted are designated compensation issues. Nothing to worry about.-

Members Create Your Blog
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research,
Create your blog.
Sometimes you have more to say that doesn't fit a community discussion. Maybe you are passionate about fishing, cooking, reading, it's your choice. The same guidelines apply to the blogs that apply to the community. The two biggest are no politics and no religion. Facebook or someplace else is the place for that, it is not here. Creating your blog allows you to expand on what you have to say.
Do you find yourself typing the same content again and again?
Create a blog post with that content and then all you have to do is link to the blog post.
This gives you two main advantages
You only have to type the content once, a great time saver.
If your content changes due to law or regulations or for whatever reason, you only have to update your blog, and wherever you link to that post will be linking to the most current information.
Check out the video below.
Have questions? Ask it in this topic and I will do my best to answer.- 0 replies

Further Reading from VA.gov
How do I upload evidence online to support my disability claim?
If you’ve filed a claim for disability compensation, you can continue uploading more evidence for up to one year to support your claim. Evidence may include supporting documents like medical test results, doctor’s reports, and other records. Upload your evidence online now.
If you’re waiting for a decision on your disability claim, you can upload evidence to support that claim using our claim status tool.
Upload evidence using our claim status tool
Note: For any other type of document you’d like to submit online to us, please use the QuickSubmit tool through AccessVA.
If I filed a standard disability claim, when should I upload evidence?
Upload your evidence as soon as you can.
You can continue uploading documents for up to 1 year from the date we receive your claim. But, if you don’t provide any evidence or give us the information we need to help you get evidence within 30 days, we may make a decision on your claim earlier.
If we decide your claim early, you’ll still have the rest of the 1-year period to provide more information or evidence.
What happens if I upload more evidence after I’ve submitted a fully developed claim?
We’ll remove your disability claim from the Fully Developed Claims program and process it as a standard claim.
If we decide your claim earlier than 1 year from the date we received the claim, you’ll still have the rest of the year to provide any additional information or evidence.

Help HadIt.com Stay Online
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research,
If HadIt.com has helped you, please consider helping HadIt.com if you can.
When the site was gifted to Rattler it became a nonprofit. A nonprofit cannot use some of the previous items I used to help finance the site.
Now it all comes out of Rattler's pocket. He will not be able to continue financing the site on his own.
