Question
pwrslm
I am trying to find competent contact for legal advice on an FTCA claim. Vet went to VA for help and they failed to diagnose lukemia. Vet went to non VA Dr and was properly diagnosed many months later. Treating non VA Dr stated in medical file that if it had been detected earlier, the vet would have lived much longer. He passed in June 2017. VA failure to diagnose and treat issue.
Need consult w/atty to see if she has a case, if so what course of action to take. Been helping her with a claim for DIC but the VA denied SC and generally "really screwed up" the decision. The non VA medical records (300 pages) and the nexus letter from the specialist (oncologist that treated him till he passed) were completely ignored. Both were faxed and mailed w/return rect!!
Spoke to widow this AM, she is ready to take the fight to them. Anyone w/experience with FTCA and knows a competent atty please refer us.
Thanks in advance for helping!!!

That is correct ... but I am the only DIC claimant I know of who got a FTCA offset refund. It was because the death DIC ( 1151) was awarded ,but I then proved years later that the cause of death

PWRSLM- I again asked for this topic to be moved. It will get more input that way and possibly help others in the DIC forum.or 1151 FTCA forum.
