The Voc Rehab or VR&E counselor and the Voc Rehab program sent me to a school (International Academy of design and technology) that was forces to shut down because of fraud. My first Voc rehab counselor was fired then they assigned  me another one that was basically a hatchet man/woman.

So after major back surgery and 10 knee surgeries and a total knee replacement I was deemed physically fit by the VA PCC to go to online school.

I reapplied for the new VR&E program and this new counselor will not accept any of my transcripts saying that I am too old and will not be able to get a job anyway. He said that I only qualify for 14 months of school and it would be best to take free courses to get a certificate for continuing education.

I was finally granted entrance into the new VR&E program and this new counselor wants me to take free courses on google to get a certificate.

Does anyone know if I have any recourse so  that I can go to an accredited school and finish my education so that I can have gainful employment?

Thank You,

Thomas Lawler

Any Advice on a QTC Examination for Housebound Status! I just received this letter today saying that I have an appointment scheduled next week! Do I have to travel all the way to Washington State from Oregon for the QTC Exam? Seems like a long way to go for a QTC examination! It is a 500 mile round trip.

I have found all documents to support my claims and they're in my possession. Yes. I have been doing a lot of research!

Interesting note*: My prior claims were lost for 28 yrs and then for some reason they found out that I had lost my place in some docket and every time it came up it would be shuffled back to the bottom! Isn't that illegal? (explanation from a VFW person at the Seattle VBA!)

This is just all really weird, but I am not giving up! Thanks Everybody!

Since all of my submittals to the VFW in Portland have disappeared, Can I do an intention to file a claim? And how should I go about it.

Thank you Everyone!

I seems that the past two VSO'S in 3 months have resigned from their post. All my submittals have disappeared. I guess I am ready to file my self and have the VFW represent me at the hearings. I guess these guys are really busy! I got this! Peace

Does anyone know how two change the topic to another topic? I'm trying to supply some information from the BVA about re recent decision! Thanks

I had posted a question about an appeal that I had where the Veterans Lawl Judge had retired. I did not request a new hearing on the advice of my Advocate the VFW. I finally received a decision and have that enclosed it here.

The VA has agreed to grant me service connection for my lower back and to send into remand the issue of my left foot neuroma.

I spoke with my advocate and he told me that I will be awarded 10% effective to January 2005. He also told me that I would have to get another C&P exam for my left foot.

I called the entertainment line at the VA (800-827-1000) to find out when this decision by the Seattle VA would be "all" finished. They told me it could take anywhere from a few months to five years as they are so behind. This has been going on now for 12 years!

Does anyone know how to get this expedited? What might realistically expect? Thank You in advance!
