This is why they have the Wounded Warriors.......The USA cant afford to compensate their Veterans.

I hope St Pete can do mine in 10 months. I will be on here bragging on them. So far I'm at about 6 months and no movement. Hampster Wheel keeps you strong.

Great words of wisdom Berta & John.

Duty to Assist...............Joke

THE GOOD: Probably get Service connected. THE BAD: Probably get lowballed.

Your RO has claimed PTSD and as a side effect they have misplaced everyone's file and can't remember anything. They also want compensation.

Not knowing any other way to get an answer to this, I would try an IRIS inquiry. If they are still working on your primary's they should have at least told you that they were. Thats just cruel and uncaring to let a Vet just wonder what happened. Dont ever quit

If you were schedular or temporary at 100% ......they will take another look at you at some time depending on your RO. They held a C&P on me without notifying me. Go to ROI and get a copy then you can probably find out what they are up to.

Hold down control+A then select copy. Pull up word pad from Start/programs/accessories. right click Paste. Go to File, select Save As (you name it) txt or rtf. Then you can browse and select it for uploading.

To Kate7772 All of these people have provided you with love and help, please don't give up. Take your case apart to smaller pieces and work on them separately until you have enough to put it all back together into a strong piece of work. Help here is endless and you will soon learn enough to start helping others. Hang in there.....you are not alone. Slowlane

I cannot believe that they did not find that 215 documented service for you in the beginning. They are completely on your side and they will go to no ends to find such information for you. After all, they are there to help you. They have a duty to assist so just sit back and trust them. I'm sure in this case that they just slipped up and overlooked something and the employee that was responsible will be harshly disciplined and warned only once for this major violation. scuse me while i kiss the sky

Secondary or Residual is where I spent a lot of brain cells trying to figure this one out. That would be the VA's job. So, anytime you file for compensation and you don't know whether it is Secondary or Residual just put it as "Secondary/Residual' and let the VA figure it out. For crying out loud they do this for a living and they are supposed to be helping you.

This is absolutely criminal that we must accumulate this much knowledge to defend ourselves when the VA has a duty to help us. I personally know 3 Vietnam Vets that will never have anything to do with the VA because of their chicken ways.

Duty to Assist............... HAAARRRR AHADF HARR AHAR HAR HAR

Sick

Always the same..........the VA is screwing me or will screw me ........ Always the same..... When has the VA ever said ........"We tried this and we tried this and we did this and we did this and we kept running into dead ends because of this....if you could help us fix or find this we can make this work" .... I thought they were supposed to be on our side. I really dont think the VA is trying to help us. Why would they not want to help us??????

Right click your taskbar and click "Start Task Manager". Then look at how many "processes" you are running. SWEET..........Thanks Broncovet

There was another discussion about ebenefits "Authorization Review" which was in my file and other members here as well. Most everyone was confused as to why the RO was posting Authorization Reviews on ebenefits. Also, about a year ago I posted that the RO had entered a claim for me to send me my C-file. I'm not sure this is happening but if they are getting credit for these ITEMS (not claims) its like cheating. RO's should not get credit for copying and mailing a C-file as a Claim. RO's should not get credit for putting in Authorization Reviews as a Claim. Usually I'm wrong and the VA is just doing this as an act of kindness to keep the veteran informed.

Whats really bad is I just started my NOD.

My question is, can they decide to grant me an increase while doing this statement of the case? YES.

What is "4th point of contact"? I have a pretty good idea but never heard the expression before. Oh, and your list.....damn good.....I want to be like you!!! Slowlane

Somebody was probably hacking in to improve the software. And you thought it couldn't get worse!

I'll fly down there and stand by you 999. Everything VA related is political.......who's the best for us Dems or Reps??? Fox or CNN?? As long as they can keep us divided they win.

Any victory is worth announcing and celebrating!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations
