Phone Call From Amc To Sign And Fax Document For Board Of Appeals?

[Guest RJMacReady]

I received a rather strange phone call from the AMC(Appeals Management Center)? to sign and fax a document referred to as a '30 day waiver letter'? for the Veterans Board of Appeals???

I presume that this means that my claim is denied again; which would be rather preposterous given that the injuries are all well documented and obviously occurred as a direct result from performing my duties in the military and through no fault of my own.

14 years of waiting and nonsense and even an apology letter from the VA that it has taken so long for my claims and for losing my records as well; so the VA requests C&P Exams again stating that the rating system had changed significantly since the last time that I submitted my claim and so I complied with their request and sounds like just to get denied again. This is absolutely unbelievable, apparently this must be how the VA gets rid of wounded vets with legitimate claims, they just keep denying your claims until you give up???

Hang in there and win your claim you earned the benefits.

So apparently it sounds like the vba can remand the decision of the amc and award the claim to the previously denied veteran granting benefits, although how often does this actually happen and why would the vba make a conflicting decision with the amc in the first place being that they are supposed to work for the same agency?

I don't know how often this happens, probably more than I know, but it did happen to me.

Don't give up now. Send as much medical information to the BVA in the next 30 days

that you have not previously sent.

[Guest RJMacReady]

Okay, I will see what I can find, although that private doctors review is very good and addresses each issue precisely contradicting any va denial and the doctor is a specialist besides being an md.

"and is now waiting for my disagreement letter attached to my private doctors statement to go to the bva. "

You mean they have not seen that yet?

Does it comply with the IMO format here at hadit and have a complete medical rationale?

You could ask them to reconsider based on this new and significant evidence.

"Good idea, I do have an private doctor's exam letter from a few years ago that I will include to send to the vba along with my rebuttal, thank you."

I dont understand why you have not sent this yet- I hope the VA considers it as probative evidence of current disabilty.

[Guest RJMacReady]

The va has seen this private doctors exam letter before and is just avoiding acknowledging it because it is so significant; I haven't seen the IMO-Independent Medical Opinion on here, however like I said the private doctors exam letter was very precise addressing each issue and contradicting any va denial.

Yes, my letter is blunt and distinctly to the point stating that the va needs to grant me va benefits based on the evidence in my medical record which is more than obvious and the fact that I certainly didn't have these well documented injuries before I entered the military and yes the va has received this private doctors exam letter before and they are just playing games and probably realized the potential retroactive bill of what the va owes me and just wants to weasel out of it is all.
