Hepatitis And Liver Cancer
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) published "Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C," on Jan. 11, 2010. In this report, the IOM examines the current prevention and control programs for chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and concluded that they are ineffective. The IOM recommends increased knowledge and awareness about chronic viral hepatitis among health care providers, social service providers and the public; improved surveillance for hepatitis B and hepatitis C; and better integration of viral hepatitis services. <http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/Hepatitis-...-National-Strat egy-for-Prevention…

Finally, after a year.. I will have a c/p exam on 28 Jan, concerning the damage the va did to my sight during cataract surgery in May 2008. Ironically, I also have surgery scheduled on the 22 Jan to try to stop any more damage.... Berta do you ( or for that matter anyone else) think the surgery will help prove my claim? Or is it just going to be considered a bump in the road.... I think the need to have surgery strengthens my case... but you never know with the va.....

C&p/imo Written Or Verbal Requests For Copies?
C&P/IMO Written or Verbal requests for results? There was some discussion earlier on whether a request for a C&P/IMO needs to be in writing. I came across this in my C-file after a copy of a favorable C&P I requested went missing. Neither a verbal request or written request was honored by the VARO. I found a copy of it hidden in a packet marked,"For Administration Purposes Only" stuck between my medical records nearly two yrs later. Every time I went to the doctor there it was, but I never knew it until I asked to look through my records at the records dept one day. You can see by the comment the RO made they showed the C&P opinion never made…

Va Class Action Suit
Hi to everyone, I'm a newbie so if i'm in the wrong forum I'm sorry. I have a question about a suit that was filed. I can't find out the status of the suit other than one letter I got from: VA Settlement Claims PO Box 6727 Portland, OR 97228-6727 Here's the back story: I'm a "Life Member" of the DAV and they publish a magazine of current events. I believe it was the June 2009 edition that contained an article about the theft of a computer from a VA employee that had personal information about vets in it. It said that the "United States District Court for the District of Columbia" had begun notifying vets that a settlement had been reached with the Dept. of Vete…

Question About Claim Being Sent To Authorization
I am probably going to ask a moronic question here, but I am new to this. In response to an IRIS I got this: The information you were told on the phone today is correct. We show that a decision has been made on your claim. Once your claim is authorized we will send you a notification letter explaining the decisions made and the action being taken once it has been finalized. Unfortunately, we are unable to give you a timeline on how long it will take for your claim to be authorized. I was told at the 800# that if the claim was sent to authorization that meant it had been approved and they had to authorize the payment. I was told if it had been denied then it would not…

2009-7024 Eugene Charles V. Eric Shinseki
This is an interesting case that seems to fit my husband's situation. It seems to state that a claim which has new and material evidence in support of it cannot be deemed abandoned when an earlier claim is still pending. When VARO receives new and material evidence in support of it VARO is supposed to prepare a supplemental statement of case.

Nexus/imo Question
Regarding my lower back claim, I understand that a nexus/IMO from a neurologist or sports/rehab medicine doc is really desired. However, would a well worded nexus/IMO statement from a doctor certified in internal medicine, with 25+ yrs experience, be a good idea or should I keep saving my hard earned cash for the neuro/rehab doc? Thanks
