E-mail From Lance Clawson Imo Psychiatric Referred By Dr. Bash
I received this message today from Dr. Bash's partner concerning IMO for Psychiatric Disability. I had written to him earlier and he responded and told me to write back and he would have some free time in about six weeks. Second letter: I emailed you earlier and was told, that you would have some free time in about 6 weeks. Has that time arrived? ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Clawson To: xxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 01, 2007 7:34 PM Subject: Re: Referal from Veterans Med Advisor Hi Susan, do you remember this one? The reality is, I'm not really going to take on many of these... so perhaps you can bow me out (-; ? thanks!

Ftca & 1151
I called RO check status & they said 1151 was in suspention & c-file had been sent to Regional Council - they had jurisdiction.... Called R/C - (they were very nice) -said they get the file back to RO usually in a week. 1.) Once RO gets c-file back - will they proceed on the 1151? Or do they keep it suspended pending outcome of FTCA? (Our RO & RC are in different states)

? Continue Rating Claim After Soc Sent (and Denied)
Called RO checking status of 1151, but all they showed was claim for increase on a S/C issue that was at appeals??? They already sent denial & SOC on that issue nearly 2 months ago & I had just sent form 9 the day before the call - so they couldn't have gotten it - (though I'm sure they were expecting it.....) Is it common for the appeals team to continue making decessions on a claim they have already denied, before a nod is received? I know the 800 # just look at screens & this may not be accurate info.... Would it have anything to do with filing a FTCA claim ? Maybe a superior looked at it & knew it was wrong & wants to correct it before hig…

Award Question
got the rating the day after Christmas , got the award in the bank today . The amount received doesn't come to the amount I calculated I should have gotten it is off by a rather large sum. Do I send my questions to the regional office or do I send my questions directly to the finance office? I also received what would be January's check but they did not increase to the new amount which should be in effect. still getting paid at the old percentage. As they have sent both the back pay and paid Januarys check is this another error ? Leroy

Va Answered Iris
I listed in an IRIS all evidence I had mailed and some I hand delivered to them regarding 3 new claims and appeal. I got a letter today and it stated "All items sent to us are placed in your file." Actually the word placed was spelled place, I corrected it for this post. I hate to drive all the way there to verify all my evidence is there, but I probably should....right? Cavman

Widow / C-file?
I had a friend who passed away about a year and a half ago. His widow is seeking DIC information that she thinks is in his C-file. Can she request it direct or does she have to request it through the Trust they had set up? Thanks. Terry Sturgis
