diabetes Update
I have been fretting here lately over the way my claims were handled for almost 4 years. The RO just definitely verified that it is all with Regional Counsel. Both the AO claim and also probably the CUE claims would have to be with counsel anyhow. When the VA awards my AO death claim-the matter of their FTCA offset comes into play and they would have to refund this.Only regional counsel can handle that matter as they have the offset information and the settlement papers. Also, in support of my CUE on SMC I sent VA a General Counsel Pres Op which fully supports that CUE claim and also told them that I had re-opened the deceased veteran's pending Sec 1151 claim …

ptsd I Year And 1 Day
Today has been 1 year and 1 day since my claim was received at VA. My file finally went to the rating board (again) on Oct 5th. It really makes me disgusted the Vets get treated like cattle. They'll brand us when they feel like it. :) I called the 800# today and "it still is at the rating board and call back end of November"! Last time I called they told me to call this week, now end of November. What is the probelm down there? I know there are a lot of claims but I work in a very high demand/high stress and most of all short employees but we get the job done and in a very timely matter, even if we wrok some overtime. IT'S OUR JOB, WHAT WE GET PAID TO DO! I went to my the…

ptsd Depression
I get so depredded reading all this sad but very true stories about the VA and how they operate. PTSD might set in just from all the horrow stories. I know VA in a thorn in the Gov side, but even congress works faster than that, are they that independent, they dont have to answer to any one or a nother agency? How bout some good news about VA..just one mans opinion//bigjim

Tiger Team Is Faster!
I was told by the VA 800# that my file was being processed for return back to Chicago VARO from Cleveland. She said I should get the letter of decision not later than 7 to 10 days and that I would receive the decision before they would get the file back. That's pretty fast since my claim was just given to the Tiger Team the first week in October. I assumed it would take another 3 to 5 months. Anyway, IF the VA told me the truth it will have been 19 months for my claim to be processed. I will post again as soon as I receive the decision. Hopefully by next week.

Can Anybody Help Answer This Question
Hello: While web surfing i can up with something i thought very interesting comment in reguard to Agent Orange. The comment stated that the" Agent Orange was mixed with JP4 and JP5 jet fuels during the Vietnam War to give the defoliant some stickiness to adhere to the plants" Anybody know if this is true?? Where might it be Documented?? Please!! This might be very important to a number of Vietnam Vets who claims to Agent Orange were turned down because their type of Cancer or other health issues wasn't one said caused by Agent Orange. But i'm thinking it might be related to the Jet Fuel Instead. Thanks, Jessie
