Lawyer says they are claiming the last DBQ did not state enough "evidence". Plenty was stated, so not sure what else they think they need. Lawyer did get my appointment changed from in person with a doc with seriously bad reviews to a much better (for me) video appointment with a doc who has much better reviews. I don't know yet what his plans are but he is trying to get the request dropped or at least limited in scope. (thru VA) Considering his over 10 years experience and (according to his website) over $100,000,000 won for vets, I guess he has the experience to know what he is doing. Whatever happens, I will push thru the next DBQ. If I have to go back to the judge, so be it. There are days I want to quit and block it out of my mind. Guess this old corpsman just doesn't know how to quit, or lose without a fight.

I thank all for the responses. I can't figure out what they think is missing from the DBQ as the doc covered everything very in-depth, neither can lawyer, but I'm going thru with it. Was scheduled for Tuesday but the location wasn't good and the doc they assigned it too is an xxxxxxx according to all reports from vets and civilians. Lawyer set up a 3-way call with QTC so I could have it put in their paperwork that he has full POA for this and can speak for me. Been rescheduled and made a video appointment-and with a different doc. One that has a better rep, too. Having a lawyer handle this is good, he laid it out and they did not argue at all. It will be 3 weeks from now and that will give him time to argue the issue with the VA to either cancel or at least limit the scope. Years of VA records supporting my claim and a C&P few months ago with in-depth DBQ, there is no reason to put me thru it again. Fishing? Probably, but can't prove it even if is. Well, for what its worth, that is the latest. Anyone needs a solid lawyer who will fight for them, a vet himself, this is the guy you want.

Filed appeal 12/2019 using lawyer. Finally in front of judge 07/2023. Remanded to RO to do a C&P(was requested when filed appeal but denied by VA) . C&P done by VES Sept 2023 and mid-Sept 2023 went to decision phase. Assigned to St Petersburg RO from National Work Queue early last week. On 12th a request was put in by whoever has the case for ANOTHER C&P. This time with QTC. Why would another C&P be need so soon after last one? Fishing for someone to disagree with doctors who have been treating me since 2010 and the doc from last C&P so they can deny? What reason would they have? DBQ was well put together, all questions answered with good detail. This is probably more venting than anything because no one can read they mind, but I would like some opinions/experiences on why they would make me do another so soon.

It would be much easier to figure out why a woman does something-and we all know how impossible that is. (okay, ladies, don't shoot!)

My appeal was remanded back and is in decision phase at the RO. I was at BVA since 12/2019. Maybe after holidays are over...

Even at $500 a month I could not afford that apartment. When on pension, any other money counts against me and is deducted from pension-no gain there. I get VA health care but no dental. No medicaid since I get VA health care. No ssdi since I haven't worked since 2008. Could probably get some group to deliver some food but I'll cook beans and salt pork first. I get help with utilities but its only lasts maybe 5 months out of the year, don't get that much for the year compared to water/electric costs. I get about everything available here, my VA social worker sees to that. But it isn't anywhere near what I will get when/if my SC gets granted.

Filed for SC early 2018. On appeal 12/2019. Remanded 7/2023 for C&P(lawyer requested it when appeal filed. VA denied). C&P 9/2023. Been in decision since 10/2023. DBQ backs SC and at 100%. So, still waiting. Have no faith in VA so not holding breath.

Pension and Housebound today pays $1,633/month. They based my pension on income/worth($0) and housebound was given based on doctor's statement.

Been on Ozympic for a couple of years now(once a week shot). Diabetic. Has done nothing for weight loss. But, might be because I don't take it daily, don't know. VA supplies it. Does help with my diabetes.

Were you granted advance on docket?? My appeal with evidence was filed dec 2019 and still waiting to be assigned to a judge.

Evidence Submission. Just one, mental health.

1207 days since docketed.

Just one issue-mental health. I have seen that too.

1,195 days waiting to be assigned to a judge. From what I understand, they are doing 80% Legacy/20% AMA until Legacys are all done. Lawyer filed for expedited but no answer yet.

Download 8.1 and install. Win key is (usually) burned into bios. I think the burning started around 8. I know mine is and that is how I went back to 8.1 from 10.

My thanks to all involved. These words are not enough, but all I have. Thank you.

Where do you find that info?

Just one. No remand, hasn't got that far.

1,141 days waiting to be assigned to a judge.

Still waiting to be assigned to a judge.

1461 days waiting to be assigned to a judge. appeal with evidence. slowed down by covid then slowed more with concentration on Legacy appeals. Probably waiting for me to die.

Yes.

I'm at a loss for words. This was the one site I felt safe and trusted the info I read. I appreciate you, Shipmate, I do more than any words could say. Thank you, for everything you've done to help all of us. Spirit-USN '69-'73

No. New way.
