This could be a big deal for you, if you need a caregiver.

ewsieczka reacted to Cpl Joseph in ER Claims Being Denied/
The VA Office of Inspector General on August 6, 2019, released a report "Non-VA Emergency Care Claims Inappropriately Denied and Rejected". While thorough and the recommendations are valid, it's incomplete because the recommendations avoid fixing the main source of the problems. The VA created a regulation that is not complaint with the Law.

Tilte 38 USC Veteran's Benefits affects all veterans. Title 38 is Congress's grant of benefits to all veterans. Congress assigns the VA as an agent to use the Federal Budget to pay for services and compensation for the benefit. A benefit is a fee for service. Only the veteran can own the benefit, the VA cannot, it's not a veteran. Congress owns the tile to the Budget with the intent of transferring the title to the veteran. Money means value and title; a payment is a transfer of title and value. The VA does have rights to money to pay for operations and services, but in direct dealings with the veteran, the VA on has rights the value, not the title.
Title 38 is a grant to all veterans. The grant begins at the time of discharge and continues. If a veteran registers with the VA, the veteran can receive payout.

ewsieczka reacted to FormerMember in Supplemental Claim in 14 days to 100% P&T
Imagine signing up to help a Vet and discovering the BVA decision occurred about 15 days before the VA accepted your POA. Well, this called for a tall repair order. The BVA denial came on 4/16/2019. I got an IMO and refiled it in the supplemental claims lane on 7/5/2019. They granted this morning @12:34:54 at the Atlanta Puzzle Palace. I love to litigate for you guys and gals.
