Berta, Vicki , Morgan Please Your Further Advice
Hi Berta, Vicki, Morgan I'd like to ask your opinion about the following. In my ever growing more detailed supplemental which I have described earlier, I've included three citations from the BVA to try and help establish a relationship between DM!! CAD And AFIB. Vicki was kind enuf to publish the VA's guideline on evaluating claims and it ,as you undoubtedly know, doesn't give credence to BVA citations as precedent setting tools. Should I in your opinion delete these from my write up as being immaterial and possibly getting in the way of some rater reading thru the rest of the letter?They come pretty early in the write up. You know, as in " this guy is using …

ptsd Claims Question
Hello everyone, I was awarded 30% ptsd in January-I'm going to NOD it. I have a pending claim for something else-the C&P was done recently. Should I send in the NOD now or wait until the 2nd claim is settled? When I do send in my NOD, should I give what I've written to my SO and let him turn it in? Or should I send direct to the VA (certified) and also send my SO a copy? Heis my POA> Thanks.

We have somewhere at hadit a template for VARO 800# logs- This can help track your claim-then again- I am just baffled by the info I have gotten this year-I looked at my log- In January my claim (dont know what one) went to authorization on 3 separate dates and then on to a senior VSR.(per 800#reps) In early Feb they said some documents went the general counsel. I called the OGC but this was about a FOIA appeal I filed that has nothing to do with the claim-it was with an appeals team, mid Feb- to a coach,late Feb - Adjudication, and last week a vet rep said it had been decided on Feb 28th and was waiting for an authorization person to sign it. He said "it" was a…

Va Support At 65 Years Old
I am wondering why the coverage of Veterans Care at the Veterans Hospital stops when you turn 65 years old. I am 61 and have been going to the Dayton VA for over a year. I have been told by a brother and other vets that when you turn 65 you have to get a seperate coverage; such as Tricare. I only pay for prescriptions now but I am told that when I will need the coverage the most and can afford it the least I'll have to come up with more money. What's the reason for this?

Who Can I Complain To
They individual who wrote the rating decision said some things that I am thinking was Inappropriate, cant get to it now, dont want to wake up my wife. § 4.23 Attitude of rating officers. top It is to be remembered that the majority of applicants are disabled persons who are seeking benefits of law to which they believe themselves entitled.

Soc In My Hands
For all here to know, I have now received the SOC and they included only what they wantd to look at what but nothing regarding objective laboratory evidence including the MRI or CSF finding that are absolutely key to this case. The total number of pages was 28. I am amazed at what was said. Thay want war to be sure. For them to have begun counting -the days is rediculous when they took the time that they did and to lie like they did is amazing. I used to believe in the US system of justice but I am having my doubts at this point. I will never stop this claim.... I will try to reduce the page sizes and get at least part of the SOC here. I am amazed they could …
