Is their a way to get 86'd because you call once a week after they tell you you are in "Read for Decision" and they just sit on your claim---vindictive claims Rep's?
I called a Vet Rep at the Fresno, Ca Vet Hospital named Tony. Tony said not to call the toll-free number and he would not take a POA as he said the Vet Claim person will throw my claim in a stack and do nothing as he has seen the stack.
My claim was “read for decision” on June 18, 2008. I call each week or two weeks and get wait 30 days…then it is a 45 day wait…should be ready 60 days from June 18, 2008. Then I called the toll-free line on August 19, 2008 and she says wait 30 more days. How long does this take?
I have multiple issues, PTSD upgrade, sleep Apnea, Restless legs,…and I filed Dec. 31, 2008 but it is ready to go as it made the “read for Decison on June 18, 2008…and I wait. Anybody know if the toll-free calls to a telephone person makes a difference and the Claims Rep. is told how often I call? I have stopped calls or will because of what Tony said but I fear I have been placed in the 86 file for “whenever they want”.
Also, Tony said they sometimes hold claims appealed in a file and wait two years without ever sending them to Washington, D.C. That way it stagnants and you lose as you don’t really know what they do to an appeal claim? True or not?
