Well Welcome to Hadit! My first thing would tell you to calm down and I know it is going to be hard for with all the things you have on your plate. Do you have children that my be able to help while you are running around with all the medical keep your vet alive?
A;; the info above is correct and some of the best for you!
Start cleaning the mess up like Berta and John have said and you should fine.
Keep coming here if you can. Thanks for the response, no kids to help. I pray the VA has my husband's other claims on file.

. Thanks for your assistance, I submitted many questions to the recommend website. I still need thouhs on AO."The lawyer with the VVA explained to me that an appeal and new claims cannot/will not be looked at during the same time. Has this been your experience? "
That is correct but do you lawyer or a vet rep?
"There was a claim for hypertension and sleep apnea, but somehow they were separated and not being addressed at this time.
There was some sort of remand that I do not understand. "
Understanding the remand can be critical.
Do you have a Docket number and Citation number for the remand?
"A claim was filed in March and May 2013 for the kidney and prostate cancer but when I called the 1000# they have no record of receiving it. Also the DAV is representing him on this claim. I am waiting to hear back from the rep. I have not received a development letter on the claims. "
I am surprised he has 2 POAs....? DAV and VVA...
If you go to the main VA web site http://www.va.gov/, click on Contact Us, then on Ask a question, the veteran can ask for the status of the hypertension and sleep apnea
claim ,as well as the status (or at least acknowledgement of receipt of, the additional kidney and prostate cancer claim.

Get your own lawyer. The VVA lawyer is not your lawyer.
John999 please eleborate on this. We are working with an attorney at this agency.

Thank you for the reply Ms. Beta. I was hoping you would reply. I have read many of your responses to other people. I am not sure if we have a docket and remand number for all three claims. The appeal is one claim and the DAV is working on the other claim that is how 2 POAs come into effect. I will do the research you recommended. What about the AO exam? My husband is having many problems now and fast. Heart, kidney, prostate and liver. We had a private attorney and that did not turn out well. He caused us to miss a deadline and that caused us to start cliam all over. We got rid of him.

Good day all. I am new at this. I thank God for you, your acknowledge, success and your not giving up. I desperately need some direction on how to help my husband’s claim. He served in Vietnam.
His appeal (PTSD) is located in the AMC in Washington, DC; he is represented there by VVA. I hate to say it but I know more information than the attorney. It was remanded in 2012. The AMC requested information from him at the end of Feb 2014, the info is already in his file. I still completed the form with the requested information and he now waits to hear a decision on his PTSD appeal claim.

May 2013 his right kidney was removed he completed prostate radiation treatment in September 2013 and has many follow-up test including now looking at the liver and soon his heart (Nuclear test). He has not worked since April 2013. He has not had the Agent Orange exam. What are your thoughts on that? What do you recommend as next steps while we wait to hear from the appeal?
