I don't want to complain about how long it takes to get a decision, we all know that the whole process is ....well yea that. I don't think that I am special or should get any special consideration. Filed my claim in March of 2007 and after the standard denials, a kangaroo travel board, 1 court order that was defied in writing, a second court order that after 8 months has yet to be acted upon, submitting hours/pages of medical research supporting my claim and rebutting the BVA's own unqualified medical opinions(their words). I have gotten a letter from a doctor at Duke University Medical school who is also an attending physician at the Durham VAMC that in his opinion my condition is "more then 80% likely to be connected to my service." After 6 years is there any way that this might move along quicker, or should I resign myself to the usual 6 to 8 months or more? Can my DAV rep do anything to push it along?

Court remand was ordered 15MAY12 Yesterday BVA tells me file is with the RO. RO tells me it is at BVA. Emailed B&M lawyer later in the afternoon. No response yet. Any suggestions????

What is an IRIS? I have spent the last month trying to figure out what is going on with my remand from May 15, 2012. Nobody can tell me anything.

Thank you Berta. We are on the same page. One more question. What does the BVA, VA, AMC consider "Expeditious" as court remand claims are supposed to be handled expiditously?

Berta I would very much like to send you all I have prepared and submitted. we are going in circles with the same info. meaning you are telling me what I have already done

Berta, I have had a lawyer and won a remand on May 15,2012. I have sent medical articles and wikipedia on O2 toxicity detailing its effects and including early symptoms that went un noticed even by me to includ a detached retna, hand tremors. I still have time to add info, but no one can tell me where I stand. AMC says it is waiting for my file from my RO. My RO says that my file is in DC. My RO has been trying to get it straight but AMC is not responding.

Yes this is my case. I already recieve 10 % for hearing due to diving. Can we talk? I submitted VA Training Letter 07-04 in rebuttle to the last denial.

I did not serve in Vietnam.

I have gotten a response from the VA who after a week and a half has gotten a response from AMC. AMC says they are going to "research it". I guess I will wait a week then go to the top.

I have filed suit and it has been remanded based on the non compliance of the original court order. All of the pertenent information has been submitted and received. however nobody seems to be able to tell me where it stands, or why after 3 mos. there has been no movement. As for my MOS-I was a Navy SEAL. I have made the medical nexus to oxygen toxicity, the cell damage, and distortions in the DNA which causes abnormal growth in the regeneration of damaged cells.

Yes I have a couple of numbers 1)Toll free information line 1-866-258-0341 2) Direct line (the one they will answer) 1-202-565-5436 3) Director Keith Wilson 1-202-530-9400 4) Asst. Director Keith McQuaid 1-202-530-9462

7 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was 9 years out of service, however, there where 3 other men from my Team of 40 with the same afliction. One has since passed. I filed my claim in March of 07. It was denied 6 months later. I apealed and it was again denied. I filed suit in the court of veterans appeals and it was remanded with specific instructions to have me undergo another C&P exam. The BVA said that the "respectfully disagree" with the court order and simply denied the claim. However, they gave me specific reasons as to why the claim was denied. I filed suit again, and, again it was remanded. I have since submitted medical information that contridicts thier admitted lay opinions as to why my claim was denied. First submission was directly to the VA RO, I even got them to sign confirmation of receipt. That information was "lost" with no explination. I then sent it all myself with signature confirmation. It was received. I called the AMC several weeks later and they told me that they where waiting for my file from my Regional office. I went to my regional office and they told me my file was at the AMC. I went to the DAV and they said that my file was at AMC and refused to call and verify. Have called my Senator and gotten the standard "we are looking into it". Anyone have some suggestions?
