Question
jtg1966
got a response from an IRIS inquiry....i was hammering them hard about what kind of medical opinion was needed...they said they couldn't or wouldn't tell me exactly what kind of medical opinion was needed...told them that under the VCAA they were required to provide me and my represetative notice of what evidence was required.
I also stated that my VA psychiatrist provided a nexus letter on 04/03/09 and that any additional medical opinion would be considered an attempt by the VA to acquire evidence against my claim...and that if they were stating that my VA shrink was not competent to provide care to me or other veterans that they should please alert me so that i could petition the Sec of VA and the director of the wpbvamc to remove him from service before he did any irrepairable harm to me or other veterans that he is unqualified to treat....and this is how they responded verbatum:
Mr. :
I understand that you are extremely upset with they way your appeal has been handled. I am the Assistant Coach of the Public Contact Team. I have gotten with the Decision Review Officer in appeals and asked him to take a look at the information that has been submitted. He just contacted me and informed me that his decision is to grant you Service Connection for your bipolar disorder at 50%. and you will receive a letter within the next couple of weeks. Your file will need to go down to your POA (which is American Legion for them to review) so at this point there is no further information that we can provide. I sincerely hopes that this answers all of your questions. Thanks again for serving your country.
