  1. In response to: 71M10 Clearly you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First the majority of the people working for the VA are veterans themselves (and no, their claims do not get adjudicated any faster than anyone else’s claim). In addition, the majority are hard-working, well-educated, and have spent countless hours training. We are talking about individuals that tirelessly lay it on the line daily, working toward the goals of the VA mission. Most are family people who spend countless hours working mandatory overtime assisting veterans every day. For instance, a Rating Veterans Service Representative must undergo intense training concerning claim adjudication. The training takes several months if not years to fully grasp. The methodology is complicated and requires a very strong knowledge of medical terminology, human anatomy, disease processes, and medical treatment procedures. In addition to medical training, a claim adjudicator must have the ability to comprehend legal processes with an intimate working knowledge of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as such pertain to disability claims. Also, in-order to successfully process a claim, the adjudicator must be able to operate several complex software programs and research various subjects as they pertain to claims examination. Secondly, the VA is bound by Federal law with concern toward adjudicating claims. The process is mandated by Congress. Certain information must be of record before a claim can be adjudicated. The law is the law. If a change in law is warranted in your opinion, please contact your Congress member. Finally, medical records which are received from the Department of Defense are often incorrect, not fully complete, or have several non-current diagnoses. The C&P exam is designed to get the most current picture of the veteran’s health as it pertains to their claimed condition. Are there bugs in the system? Yes, absolutely! Do things need tweaked? Definitely! You must remember that the VA deals with millions of claims every day, week, month, and year. Some of the claims are from veterans that served in WWII because many of those individuals are still actually applying for new benefits. Not just anyone can walk off the street and adjudicate these claims. Besides, I see you are 90% percent service connected. Seems as if the process worked pretty damn well for you!
