diabetes I Won! I Won! After A Four Year And Five Day Battle!
On November 2, 2009, I won the first ever VA claim for Agent Orange exposure, "inside the Continental United States." The claim was granted for Chloracne, Diabetes and Heart Disease with ICD implant, as due to Agent Orange exposure at Fort Gordon GA., in the years 1967-1969. You will be able to read the Board Of Veterans Appeals detailed decision along with the supporting evidence at WWW.va.gov in a couple of months when it is posted. From the web site choose Board of Veterans Appeals, then click on Decisions. Next type in the search box Docket No.08-11 937. Due to the AICD implant, Class 3 CHF and a LVEF of 25% there should be a 100% P&T award. Other than a $1…

Living The Lie - Agent Orange Activist Confronts Monsanto
Living the lie - Agent Orange activist confronts Monsanto Posted on November 22, 2009 by palazzo There are so many of us that want this ongoing crime that Monsanto, Dow, the other chemical companies involved - plus the US Government to end. For the horror to end, the collective group of those that invented,authorized its use, and used it during the war against the Vietnamese, the US and allies, resulting in death, illnesses to them, their offspring, and, for who knows how many generations to come, must first admit to this ongoing horror. I find it a complete paradox in my own mind, and I am sure so many others, that Monsanto was authorized to open an o…

ptsd Vba Getting New Director, Marines Getting Lousy Care For Ptsd
VBA Getting New Director, Marines Getting Lousy Care for PTSD. Posted on November 21, 2009 by tombarnes In today's New York Times we read that the Veterans Benefit Administration will soon get a new chief. Rear Admiral Patrick Dunne, USN (Ret.) is leaving the position. The story entitled Troubled V.A. Agency Will Get a New Chief is here. In this editorial, the New York Times explains President Obama's unprecedented deference to the Chinese as a recognition of a global shift in power now taking place in the world.

I Need Some Answers Please
Okay so I filed my claim almost ten months ago involving Sleep Apnea, REM Sleep disorder, GERD, ankle pain, shin pain, back conditions etc. VA Rep at my TAP class did a medical record review and listed about 15-20 conditions, wrote them all down and said here claim all of these. So that's what I did. I never received a sleep study while I was in the Navy because there was a six month waiting period to actually get in to get one, everything is documented that in the specialists opinion not only did I have sleep apnea, but also I have a sleeping disorder in which I act out my dreams physically, most of the times violently, I've had my wife write a letter supporting this…

ptsd Extraschedular
The VA never acknowledged receipt of my husband's TDIU form. They awarded from 30% SC for PTSD in his lifetime to-posthumous award to 100% SC for PTSD. They used his PTSD SSA award date for the VA EED. If this had been an extraschedular award wouldn't the decision have said that? The claim as far as I know certainly never went to VACO for any extraschedular review.It never left the VARO as far as I know.I continually supplied evidence to them after he died. This is why I often get confused as to extraschedular awards. I had the following rating criteria for 100% SC for PTSD when I re-opened his PTSD claim and I focused solely on the documented evidence t…

List Of Evidence
Ok, one more thing... It has been suggested I check the "list of evidence." How do I do that? Do I request a copy from the VARO? Show up and ask to see it, make an appointment to see it??? Thanks

ptsd Effective Date
I recently had my claim for PTSD "reviewed" as part of a new claim that I had opened for hearing loss. The date of claim for the hearing loss and the review was 8/14/2009. I was initially rated 50% for PTSD in my claim dated 4/2008 which was approved 9/2008. With this review, I received 100% PTSD with an effective date of 10/6/2009 (the date of my review C&P exam). I was wondering if the effective date should be at least 8/14/2009 (the date of claim) or even backdated to the original date of date in 2008. Thanks for the help!!!
