hypertension Va Workers Angry About Treatment Of Veterans
Even VA workers are fed up with how they feel they must treat veterans cases: (taken directly from their website) AFGE Workers admit case conflicts http://www.local2823.org/information_members.htm Did I say That ?? With the increasing administrative legal/ regulatory/ administrative complexity of correctly processing a veterans claim: 1) Why is there more pressure for production when claims are getting harder and much more time consuming to do them correctly? 2) Why aren't more attorneys hired as VA managers? 3) Why is the concept of "Due process of law" still treated as "just the Latest VA Buzz word" when a station is in d…

Another Va Snafu
A VA employee just told me that when they finally got enough envelopes to mail the Data theft letters-(Don was not kidding when he told you all they didnt have enough envelopes) some of the mailings were contracted out- and many vets are now calling the VA because they have just got the Envelope with NOTHING inside it! Geeeeez- who's running the show.

Just Another Boring Update On My Claim
Hello to all and praying all is as well as can be expected or better. As usual, I take one step forward and two steps backwards. One thing seems to have improved a little, but then others have gotten worse or remain problematic. I am by myself yet again, my long time Step-Father, Friend, Companion, Room Mate and Fishing Buddy has finally lost the battle with Cancer. This past year seem to have gone by in a blur in retrospect, having driven into town to visit my Step-Father while he was being looked after by the VA's equivalent to a long term care facility. I pray every day for the care given to him while their, although seemingly short personel all the time, they p…

Ph Question
I have a widow whose husband had told me years ago he had been shot in Nam (ie PH) and the residuals were compensatable (but he told me he sent the VA comp money back to the VA )??? I did not see the PH in his pictures while in full uniform at his funeral- but did not discount what he told me. It is possible he never got the actual PH medal (Nam vet) However-it should be on his DD 214- then again always possible it isnt-but that he deserved it- The wife is useless in getting any info from her but she wants DIC- long story there- maybe a death pension- she claims she doesnt know if he was shot or not- My question is- I just sent her to my local vet rep beca…

Letters To Senators
I have recently finished emailing every democrat senator with the following letter. If we as veterans want our day in a real court we need to do something about it. This is a start. If anyone would care to help me send copies of this letter(or one like it) to members of the house I woud appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you. (Mad as hell and not going to take it ANYMORE!) To the Honorable , I am writing to you because I believe that you truly care about United States veterans and their struggles with the Department of the Veterans Affairs. As you are probably aware according to a Knight Ridder news service story 17% of veterans die prior to ha…

ptsd Berta Help... The So, What Exactly Is Their Function?
A couple months ago when my husband filed for VA comp for his recently diagnosed DMII and multiple secondarys we went to the SO. Shortly after I found Hadit. I've been reading alot over the past few weeks. My husband had some medical problems, to make a long story a little shorter he ended up with a referral to the VA clinic psychologist by his VA MD for stress. Prior to my husband's appt with the psychologist he states to my hiusband that this appt has nothing to do with his VA claim or any ptsd problems. My husband was coaugt off guard but the appt continues. Following the appt my husband is given 12 months supply of RX for depression /mood disorder. I know he ha…

Cue_eprecedent O.g.c. Opinion_aoj's Failure To Consider Records
O. G. C. Precedent 12-95 (5/10/95) HELD: (1) With respect to final agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ) decisions rendered on or after July 21, 1992, an AOJ's failure to consider records which were in VA's possession at the time of the decision, although not actually in the record before the AOJ, may constitute clear and unmistakable error, if such failure affected the outcome of the claim. (2) With respect to final AOJ decisions rendered prior to July 21, 1992, an AOJ's failure to consider evidence which was in VA's possession at the time of the decision, although not actually in the record before the AOJ, may not provide a basis for a finding of clear and un…
