The USDVA will not give my representative at the ?DVA access to my file. I filled another POA out after 2 years and it was submitted to the USDVA several months ago. How do I get the USDVA to release my records to my rep?

In checking on VA lack of action in regards to the Agent Orange presumptive listing of conditions, I noticed that the following with a date of September 2019 : If you have an illness you believe is caused by contact with Agent Orange—and you don’t see it listed above You can still file a claim for disability compensation. You’ll need to: Provide scientific and medical evidence that the condition is related to exposure to Agent Orange, or Show that the problem started during—or got worse because of—your military service Scientific proof may include an article from a medical journal or a published research study."

Went to visit WACO last month on a trip to Oklahoma. It was easy to find. Lots of security, but no waiting. I asked for my code sheet. They printed it right away. Place was pretty empty. Everyone was polite, but I did not ask for much.

Having applied for benefits through this office multiple times since 1985, I have been denied benefits for "No Evidence Found". I find this very hard to believe since there are multiple entries in my medical records for each claim I have applied for. There are at least a dozen entries for back injuries, entries for head injuries that had a diagnosis of PTS, entries for knees and legs as well as a loss of hearing. To date, the raters have only approved a 10% for Tinnitus. Various doctors at the Medical Center have reviewed my records and my current health as part of the Comp and Benefits review. Each time, the doctor has found the entries, and determined t…
