You guys are the best not only on the knowledge but also inspiring vets to fight for what they have earned through sacrifices which do not come easy. I am going to appeal it and I am also going to call my private doctor for an IMO stating whats going on. I do not intended to continue to waste my time with the Va health care all they do is ignore you and give you medications that at the end hurt you more than curing you. Sixthcents I have your e-mail and I hope that you can help write my NOD for the LOU and thanks to everyone that responded to my topic and God Bless all of use.

You are right I should not let him discourage me because I know that if I appeal it there is a possibility that I can get it. I have read many cases that have gone to the BVA and have been awarded without having to be wheelchair bound. I know that I will be alone on this one because the DAV rep. haves is mind set on not arguing this one. But I have you guys that probably are or have gone through the same dilema in which I find myself with this individual and are able to give me good advice.Thanks

Just got of the phone with the Dav rep. talked about my denial for Lou of lower extremities and his reply for the denial was that a person haves to be wheelchair bound or be an amputee. I informed him that a wear bilateral leg braces and that one of my service connected disability was causing lou and his reply good luck because it was not going to get nowhere. What a way to help these are people that you pay a life membership to join the Dav and this is how they help you. I requested to change this guy and was told they could not. Ever since I have this guy is nothing but denials I feel he is all for the VA and nothing for the vet. Need advice on this one from people that are experts in this area and like to know if this guy right or wrong and a possible way to get rid of this guy so he will not be my rep. at the Dav.
