  1. Yes but the ;lawyer in tha suit -Paul Sullivan of VCS-is considering I am sure the potential of class action in this situation- I think I mentioned that at VCS blog- but will email Paul As soon as I get a chance.Unlike the other lawsuit- this one would have a monetary gain if vets can prove they were improperly denied due to VA negligence.

    One of the most difficult things about Class Actions is getting the'class' certified.

    In my opinion-all vets and widows who write to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and briefly detail how they themselves as claimants were victimized by lost or missing critical documents through their claims process-

    would be prime facie evidence for any attorney to use to certify a class of veterans and widows adversely affected monetarily by the VA OIGs recent findings.

    There is more to come on this fiasco for sure- but this is one way a lawyer might well take on a class action case.If vets and widows do that.

    Class action members have to be defined as belonging to the class- such as in the old AO lawsuit.

    My husband's first application to be in the old AO class Action lawsuit was denied.

    I wrote to Judge Bernard Richland here in NY who was handling the AO Settlement Fund asking him (since he signed the denial) for his written assurnace that Rod would never get an AO disability because AO was dumped on Rod in Ashau Valley and stayed on his utilities (USMC) for weeks because they were in battle and couldnt wash their clothes.

    He immediately reviewed my husband's DD 214 and other evidence we sent and the check was in the mail in 3 weeks-with Rods exposure fully confirmed.The Judge had the spraying maps and clearly knew that Rod was sprayed from the air in Ashau.

    The AO Settlement Fund used the same tactics early on that VA does today-

    deny before you even consider the evidence and hope the vet will not appeal.

    Their class was defined as any vet who was totally disabled from any cause and who had served in Vietnam.

    The VA however never considered this large class of veterans as all being presumptive.

    meaning any disability that causes 100% disability in any Vietnam vet should be sced.

    Of course the VA will never see it that way.

    Viet Nam friend of mine gives me this movie called the rainmaker so i watched it was a great movie he was right the insurasnce company great benefit reminded me of the Va. Good movie for a Friday or Saturday.

  2. grent,

    The DSM IV book only deals with mental health and about 95% is available

    on line for free.

    It does not deal specifically with Veterans Benefits Issues.

    If you want the best for Veteran's benefits order yourself the

    Veteran's Benefits Manusa Set and I also recommend the CD ROM.

    jmho,

    carlie

    Okay i will check those out thanks Grent
  3. Both of Roche's Veterans Disability books are very limited in information.

    The VBM is the best books going regarding Veterans Benefits

    but costs more than Roche's book.

    Everything in Roche's book can be found at Hadit.com

    and multiple places on the internet for no charge, nada, nothing zilch,zip, free.

    jmho,

    carlie

    I bought another book to research my ptsd and mood disorder its called

    diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders fourth edition text revision DSM IV TR it cost me i think $120 bucks at Barnes and Nobles i think it was because it was the hard cover.

    I liked this book a lot because it has in depth description of various mental conditions but it was expensive though.

  4. Aint THAT the truth........ :P

    The c and p exams at jamaica plain massachusetts and west roxbury massachusetts are a violation of medical professional standards and mockery of a veterans due process rights.

    This goes on year after after year and nothing gets done except va officials getting rich off my and other vets denied benefits.

    Boston VA is a complete mess it takes over 3 to 5 years to get a claim decided their and the DAV JFK Boston USELESS

    untrained Advocated should be called UUAV USELESS UNTRAINED ADVOCATES FOR VETERANS.

    They just stand their and laugh at ya claim denied you wanna appeal or drop your appeal??? JEE I HAVE CHOICES

    Doesn't the pledge of allegiance go with liberty truth and justice i dont see that during a Boston VARO C and P

    exam.

    GALLERY OF ROGUES VARO BOSTON CHANDLESS 1980 TO 87 HORRIBLE VARO BOSTON ADMINISTRATOR

    MILLON DOLLAR RETIREE T. O'REILLY 1987 TO 2000 MOST HATED OF ALL BOSTON VA ADMINISTRATORS

    EARL HUTCHINSON CHEET THEIF AND LIER

    BOSTON IN MY ESTIMATION IS HORRIBLE TOGUS MAINE I HEARD IS OKAY

    STAY AWAY FROM BOSTON FOR ANY VA CLAIMS DECISIONS GO ELSE WHERE OR PULL UP A VERY LONG CHAIR

    I WENT TO THE DAV IN BOSTON IN THE WAITING ROOM 7 PEOPLE 7 VERY UPSET PEOPLE ALL DENIED CLAIMS IN HAND.

  5. I believe the only way to effect change on the veterans administration and the horrible due process rights violations

    and the sham c and p examinations is to:

    1.) PICKET AND PROTEST EVERY VARO IN THE UNITED STATES AND US TERRITORIES

    2.) PICKET AND PROTEST VA HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, DC A NATIONAL MARCHING DAY

    THEN AFTER THOSE TWO EVENTS HAVE OCURRED TO BE FOLLOWED BY MORE MARCHING VET PROTEST EVENTS AT EVERY VARO

    IF WE GOT EVERY VET SICK OR HURT EVEN IN THE HOSPITAL TO STAND TOGETHER AND GET AMERICA TO REALIZE

    HOW POORLY WE ARE TREATED BY THE VA I BELIEVE WE CAN EFFECT CHANGE

    LAW SUITS AND CONGRESSMAN WON'T DO IT

    WHEN THE VA IS EMBARRASSED ON TV AND THROUGH PROTEST PICKETS AND MARCHES CHANGE WILL COME

    I HOPE SOME DAY THIS HAPPENS IN MY MIND THIS IS THIS ONLY WAY TO EFFECT CHANGE

    FINALLY FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES VARO BOSTON IS DENY ING CLAIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE OVER LOADED WITH A DELUGE

    OF NEW CLAIMS FILE A VA FORM 21-4138 OR OTHER CLAIMS YOUR WAITING 2 TO 4 POSSIBLY 5 YEARS TOGUS ME IS PROBABLY A BETTER BET AND THEY ARE SOME WHAT MORE FAIR THAN BOSTON

    EVERYONE OF MY FRIENDS IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS HAD GOTTEN OUT RIGHT DENIAL LETTERS FROM VARO BOSTON

    STAY AWAY FROM JAMAICA PLAIN MASSACHUSETTS AND WEST ROXBURY MASS FOR COMP AND PENSION IF YOU HAVE TO GO FOR C AND P EXAM DEMAND A QTC EVAL AND IF YOU CAN BRING ALWAYS HAVE AN IME OR AT LEAST A MEDICAL REPORT

    AND YOUR MILITARY SMR TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM IF THE C AND P DOCTOR REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MEDICAL REPORTS FROM YOU THE VETERAN WRITE A LETTER TO VA (ALWAYS RETURN RECEIPT) SO IT GETS PUT IN YOUR C FILE THEY HAVE TO

    DO THAT AND YES ITS EVIDENCE IT PUTS VA ON NOTICE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE SHAM C AND P EXAM. THATS WHAT THOSE EXAMS ARE A SHAM MEDICALLY UN PROFESSIONAL AND A VIOLATION OF PATIENT RIGHTS .

    ALSO THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE ONLY ALLOWS THE VA AND THE IRS TO ACCEPT RETURN RECEIPT MAIL WITHOUT SIGNING FOR IT AFTER THE IRS AND VA PROCESS IT THEN THEY SEND THE GREEN CARD BACK TO YOU. KEEP YOUR POSTAL RECEIPTS VA LOVES TO LOSE MAIL AND SAY THEY NEVE GOT IT! THEY EVEN LIE WHEN THEY DO GET IT ANYWAY.

    HOPE THIS HELPS MY VET BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT THEIR. BEST BOOK I READ VETERANS GUIDE FOR PTSD BY ROACHE

    WORTH THOUSANDS IN KNOWLEDGE ONLY $20 BUCKS BARNES AND NOBLE THIS GUY SPELLS IT ALL OUT EVEN BEYOND PTSD

  6. I think its just matter of time before the VA is completely in nun dated with claims. The Boston VARO keeps denying everyones claims including mine. Thats not just coming from me, waiting in th VA hospital at Jamaica (shit hole of VA Hospitals) Plain i hear my fellow vets upset with all their claims denied. Peoples lives jobs and welfare depends on these rating decisions, peoples lives family lives are on the line here.

    I just dont see how the VA continues to abuse veterans and theirs no over sight and the continued due process violations.

    I'll just throw my comment into the ring here. If it were up to me i would sell all the va properties in america and the territories off. I would take the proceeds from the sales and put them into a locked federal account no touching by anyone.

    Then i would use the interest from that account and put every veteran on blue cross blue shield medical and dental. Veterans

    could go to any doctor. Further the comp and pension department disolved and their phony exam scam evaluations gone.

    I would keep voc rhab and other depts as required.

    can't fathom whats going to happen when the majority of troops return. I don't see this war ending any time soon and further i see more wars developing.

    Good movie to watch where i think America is going weather wise The day after Tomorrow with Dennis Quaid.

    Eventually we'll get into it with Russia and then some one will pull the hammer and it's gonna be lights out.

    Like they told me in elementry school in 1960's don't look at the light duck and cover.

    The Boston VARO is a complete mess they are denying decisions to close claims and to keep the claims system from overloading

    unfortunately you can only play that game so long and then no matter how hard you try you still become overloaded.

    Social Security is just as bad friend of mine tells me he's been waiting 3 years now and still fighting with them for his benefits.

    If you know anyone filing or getting ready to file a claim in VARO Boston, Massachusetts word to the wise from experience DON"T DON"T!!!! I have been waiting for over 2 1/2 years. Still no rating decision. You may not see any posts about VARO Boston trust me when i tell you its the worst of worst. Lying ass low lifes in Boston.

    Be well take care GRENT

  7. Delay it part of the game and it goes back a long way. It took me form June 1991 till Nov 1996 to be awarded 100%. Just don't give up. I think that things are going to get better after January 2009

    The only remainder of the VA would be voc rehab and adjudication and the home loan dept thats it!!

    Possibly some other depts kept as required.

  8. recently my medical records showing my hospital stay in the navy were located after twenty years of denials. Va says to me if you were sick how come you didn't get medical help at the VA?

    I replied well from 79 to 1995 or 98 i was told and turned away from the va medical plan because you have to be service connected thats why. VA says oh.

    According to NPRC the VA charged out my medical records back in 1982 and had those missing records in their possession all the time.

    Never i'm sorry. Never what can we do to make it right.

    Now I'm going to pass on to you an article from the New York Times in regard to the recent mess in Texas and other points dealing with shredding. Ya Hooray the New York Times, yes the New York Times.

  9. House Committee on Veterans' Affairs

    335 Cannon House Office Building

    Washington, D.C. 20515

    or fax your letter to: (202) 225-2034

    or call: (202) 225-9756

    Call, email or write to your Congressional representatives and join countless veterans who have already called the Committee on Veterans Affairs, demanding a hearing on this latest fiasco-

    A few VA employees have posted at VA Watchdog their knowledge of this situation-not just in the 4 VAROs named but all over the country.

    Since Directors of every VARO had to make a report to DC this AM- after spending the weekend looking for any missing mail or claims-

    maybe a lot of missing stuff turned up.

    Veterans and widows -per many vets sites- are taking action on this and writing,calling, and emailing their congressional reps as well as the Committee H VAC and S VAC-

    As Larry Scott said there is more to come and we arent going to like it.

    WHATS YOUR TAKE THX

    im going to reply to myself here so sad to see my fellow vets in the varo hallways holding denial letters from a selfish un caring country and varo boston who use phony comp and pension exams to low ball and deny rightfull benefits.

    stay away from jamaica plain campus and west roxbury c and p examiners go to or demand qtc and always come with an ime or medical private medical eval from your own doctor for each and every c and p exam you take. force the c and p to take the ime

    if they give you a un fair c and p exam complain in writing they have to put that letter in your c file and send everything to va return receipt

    the hearing tests at boston medical centers jp and west rox are a complete scam naturally a deaf person is going to hear you in a sound proof room with the volume kranked to 900dbs if they cant get you their, then they use a phony computer print out to say yeah the computer says his ears work

    lie lie lie lie lie lie

    these va doctors are not your friends be for warned and armed they type each and everything you say to use against you to deny your benefits

    i have no more respect for america any more seeing the way sick veterans are treated

    most of veteran friends have moved to canada for medical care i have decided this year to leave america i just want out of this

    place sorry if that up sets some folks but i have to tell you straight be well be careful cover your rear watch your flank

    money saved is money returned back to the va for employee incentives

    i think this si truly the end of this country!!!! Im outa here grent!!
