Yyyeeee----haaaaaa
Im going to get ready for a wild ride. On Tuesday I went to the RO - revoked my POA kicked the VSO to the curb. Got home from my mom's last night received 2 VA letters in the mail. One says I've been granted another hearing in April. Second one was from POA VSO, telling me to report to him 1 hr prior to hearing. I know I will make better use of that hour on my own. If you can start sending me advise you may have on hearings i'd better study somemore. carlie

I see references like this posted a lot. Could someone tell me if there is a link to these, other than case by case on the CAVC site? Wood v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 190 (1991) What does the 1 Vet. App. 190 mean?

Cue Claim?
Because, apparently its impossible to be TOO petty for the VAROs, would this fact qualify for a CUE claim? After only one privately done OGTT diagnosing DM11, the P.A at the VA clinic filled a private prescription for Metformin and has been refilling ever since. If my claim comes to taking another DM2 diagnostic and they insist it be the cheaper glucose tolerance test which has not shown my DM11 (very common thing), would I have grounds for a Cue claim? Based upon agree ment to treat (the Metformin) implying agreement with diagnosis? Opinions please? Just trying to cover all the bases since the VA will do ANYTHING! By the way, I realize I could/should just as…

Dro Hearing Request
This is my latest round with them: The email trail starts at the bottom and goes to the top. Dear Mr. Ricky: Thank you for the additional information. Your inquiry will be forwarded to the Appeals Team to ensure that your request for a DRO hearing is documented. If we can assist you with anything else, please let us know. Respectfully, Michael Fairchild Service Center Manager-Coach Veteran/Inquirer 03/08/2006 10:11 PM Thank you for clarifying that issue. The absence of intent as you have provided leads me back to my original thought of incompetence. VA 21-1 clearly states the avenues for requesting a hearing at the VARO. Those requirements…

Misapplication Of M21- 138 Cfr
Hi Berta You suggested to include this statement but I am unsure what it means and its implications. "I preserve for appeal all errors of law and fact, any misapplication of M21- 138 CFR " In an Intenst learning mode now... Already ask for a 2 week extension on getting the form in as they sent it to a previous address although t was recorded and on file what the new address is. We will se but it is not yet a hot issue. For others ... Gio and I are chugging on here.. They completely ignored all previous evidence I submitted the first NOD. NOt even mentioned. Josh

Treatment Or Lack Thereof
Hi: I have been fighting with VA for several years now trying to get to the point where I can go to a doctor like normal people. Because of what happened to me while on active duty, I find it all but impossible to get anything done at the doctor's office. Once there, I just want to bolt & run!!!!!!! However, the shrinks at Fayetteville just don't get it. They make light of my problem & expect me to keep my appointments. They classify my refusal to go as borderline traits. Meanwhile, I have a couple of health concerns that are going without treatment, like a potential kidney problem. the fact that they do nothing to treat my joint and back pain goes without s…

hypertension Cue Claim Going To Be Denied.
I have several open claims going through varuious stages of the process. 1 in particular was a Cue claim filed for Hypertension. I reviewed the Med recs and found the notes in the service records for Hypertension in service as well as a Doctors records I had submitted in 1998 showing a diagniosis of hypertension with diastiolic readings over 100. The Doc treated with a strict diet and said a 22 year old should not have blood pressure that high. I filed a Cue claim because the denial was absurd and was based on the wrong criteria. I did not know the criteria until I found this site. I talked to the AL rep today and he said they were going to deny the CUE claim bas…

Must Multiple Denials Be Appealed At The Same Time?
I am preparing the substantitive appeal for recent denials of multiple claims. Three of them are stronger for appeal than the others. For instance, they denied sleep apnea (left untreated for three years), because the law doesn't allow sleep apnea to be "superimposed over the rating for the lungs." I suppose this is another way of saying it would be pyramiding. So now, that one is only suitable for a Sec. 1151 claim, but I wonder if the Sec. 1151 would entail the same "superimposed" limitation. Do any of you know? Since the number of claims seems to have overloaded the rater's thinking capacity, we thought it might be best to appeal fewer claims at first. Can the thre…
