Bva Denies My Cue For The 2Nd Time
The BVA denied my CUE for the second time today. My CUE was on remand from the Court to fix some technical errors, but I thought they might reconsider. So now I am pretty sure my lawyer will take it back to the court to get a decision on the merits of the case. How long, Lord, how long? John

Freedom Of Information Act (Foia) Helpful Information And Instructions.
Hello All, We have seemed to run into a subject thread and I feel posting the FOIA information will help all of us to understand it and the vehicle and mechanism on how it works.... The National Archives and Records is the big one to search records so let her fly. I am going to post some of my actual FOIAs from many departments and their responses so that our veteran community can see how hard it is to get your hands on some records. Jbasser and Jerrel Cook and I have come to the same conclusions thru many denials of FOIA. If the veteran is getting a request that is sensitive to national security , especially opening records that will cause harm to the DOD and government …

Single Veteran
I am the Federal Fiduciary for my brother's VA Benefits. He is wondering if he should pass away, the money in his checking will it go back to the government or be left in his estate. He does not currently have a savings account, but if this keeps it in his estate he will plan on starting one. He has never been married and both of his parents are living. Thanks

Base Maps
Hey y'all. Me again. :) I'm looking for old base maps. Hubs was stationed at a few places many years ago, and we are trying to locate maps to prove that he was in certain locations on the map. Any ideas? I've got a good one of Tooele, but coming up short on Fort Ord and Seneca. I've found a couple of smallish, fuzzy ones but I need maps that show specific locations on the base. Thanks again.

Veterans' Benefits In Limbo After 10 News Investigators Uncover Another Mistake
"ST. PETERSBURG, Florida -- There were three stories from the 10 News Investigators, two letters from Congressman Bill Young, and one admission from a member of the Cabinet that the Dept. of Veterans Affairs was making a potentially costly typo. Yet, after eight months, the VA still hadn't fixed it. In a story the 10 News Investigators first broke in April 2011, the VA has been sending out outdated medical reimbursement forms to hundreds of thousands of pension-eligible veterans and family members. Instead of receiving the 41.5 cents per mile for medical visits, mandated by Congress in 2008, the VA had been sending out forms with 20-cent and 28.5-cent rates. The …

Va Prescriptions
I would like to relate a situation I find myself in. I am SC'd for hearing loss 0% and I got an ear infection otitus externa and received a prescription from the VA ENT. I got the precsription and had to have it refilled as well. Well I received a bill for said prescription, I assumed ( I should know better) that since I am SC'd for hearing loss and the infection is a result of the HA's then I did not have to pay for it, so I ignored the bill (mistake). Well I just received a letter from the VA that states that if I don't pay the bill within 30 days they are going to garnish my disability pay for the bill and to top it off they are charging me interest. We should be…
