Success (to Some Degree)
I called the VA toll-free number today and learned that I had been rated at 40-percent disabled. I've yet to learn to breakout since I had multiple disabilities involved and I suspect I had a total of 50-percent that was decreased by the VA method of combining rating percentages. I thought I would provide the timelines for my claims(s) at the Denver Regional Office: 1. 30 Aug 06: Filed claim electronically via the Internet 2. Sep 06 - Jan 07: Did not file any papers whatsoever 3. 22 Feb 07: Asked the DAV to assist me in filing forms, etc. 4. Mar 06 - Jun 07: Gathered medical evidence & responded to VA's requests for additional information 5. ~30 Jul …

tinnitus Abestos Exposure Claim
I file a VA claim back in 2002 for residuals of asbestos exposure,also claimed as asbestosis and pulmonary fibrosis. The claim was denied because the VA examiner reported that his findings for the lung studies including spirometry, lung volume,and diffusion with negative chest x-ray were normal. I don't believe that the x-ray was interpreted by a B certified x-ray reader. When I did the lung studies the examiner had me perform the tests to the point of complete exhaustion. I felt that he was making sure that I passed those tests no matter how they affected me. The denial letter stated that private records from my doctor had not been received. It also stated there was an …

Vamc Clinic Visit
Greetings to all, Two weeks ago I have a visit with a neuroligist about migraines. He also examined my feet because of no sensation in my toes. I requested the clinic notes and noticed he said wrote down several things that did not take place and if the RO seen them it might question the severity of one of my disabilities which I am rated at 100% loss of use. I sent a letter directly to the doctor with a copy of the clinic report (the examiner in question is a resident and not a Dr) I highlighted the areas of issue and ask that they be removed, because it did not take place and I enclosed a self-addressed envelope for him to send me a copy of the corrected report. …

Need Help
Hello: My brother in law served in the Army 65-67. He filed a claim eariler this year and just recieved a denial because the VA claimed " No evidence, Your records were burned in the St. Louis Fire" I thought the fire involved records for the Army up to 1960. So what gives?? They also told him that they were unable to locate Medical records from the VAMC for treatment from 1972-1974. His problems with his lungs started in Boot Camp and he had several "Sick Calls" for breathing problems. But he can't prove this without his SMR's that were ??? Burned. He said that he didn't get any of the records himself, But left that to his SO. He said he has an appointment a…

Ro Letter Stating...
"The RO will send you a letter stating that is has certified the claim to the BVA and giving you 90 days to submit any further evidence. ..." I don't want to start a new thread on a topic already discussed, however, I am not able to find an answer to my specific question. So, if it has been discussed here before...forgive me, and just point me in the right direction. The above quotation is from my hadit.com search. I've been searching for two days now. But I still can't find anything that provides me with an answer when the RO DOES NOT send you a letter stating it has certified my claim to the BVA. At what point should I have received this "particular" let…

Our New Government
The old name for a government ruled by a few powerful individuals and rich corporations is fascism. Ask GWB, Big Business and the Congress about it. Another component would be endless war.
