 Buck, first thanks for your service , I salute you!

I recall years back when u first came to the forum, now your a moderator!! freakin awesome. I have been absent, awol, but im back, and will try to help best I can. Ive been thru ALOT with the VA. I learned alot too, thru walking thru the fire .   if theres a shenanigan the VA hasnt pulled on me Id love to know of it, ha . The best thing we can do to help these veterans is educate them.   These younger guys are very resourceful,  if we point them in the right direction, they know how to harvest the info very quickly, many were born with a computer in the house.  The internet is the great equalizer of modern times.   

right now we are fighting for my wifes claim, the  RO in waco has been wiping thier arse with it for 6 years. were giving them hell though.  got in the  Ramp program, they got to it in abt 90 days, but sound like they want to deny again, last time they denied, a year went by before they even certified it, and we werent even on the docket yet to go to the BVA.   C&P tommorow, wish us luck. God bless ya man.  thanks for doing what you do.

keep on keepin on Sarge . 63 out.

Stephanie, I listened to the pod cast, and am dealing with WACO RO myself. John Dorle is helping my wife right now, and got me 100 P and T .

My wife was denied,  and the DRO  did some questionable stuff, like turning the microphone off when we submitted evidence. we told him we wanted a formal hearing, so EVERYTHING should have been heard. The DRO was also resisting evidence saying he had everything, but it wasnt mentioned in the denial or SOC/ did not schedule CP exams, even though my wifes own VA  doctor wrote a strong nexus letter..    was the goon who was your DRO  possibly named Steve , wore glasses, middle aged to older man, around 6 foot ?

John is a GREAT benefits agent, I got the runaround from TEXAS VET, VFW, DAV, AMER LEGION, they all work inside the VA in waco, and do what they are told. they will try to get you a little something, but when it comes to TDIU, 100 percent, ect, the VA tells them to beat it..

I would reccommend you yank POA from your rep, and hire John Dorle. best money I ever spent. he got me 25 grand back pay, and from 60 to 100 percent PT with special monthly comp in abt 15 months.

thanks for your service, and always remember, THE CLAIM IS NEVER OVER UNTIL THE VETERAN SAYS ITS OVER.!
