  1. I finally satisfied all of the requested evidence by the VA claims intake center for my CUE, effective date change as the BVA granted my 1151 for my hospital surgery injury in 2008. The VA only made my effective date for 2012. They never told me, why, as I had claims since 1997. Also claims going back to 2008 for my necrotizing pancreatitis in the hospital. But they the VA kept saying I had no claims until 2012. They never worked with me directly, only through denials. Very cryptic and it made no sense and my paid rep said he didn't think I could win so I did it on my own. They kept denying my cue sending my denials adding more reasons why, adding missing documents each time for 8 months each time taking between 6 and 8 weeks to respond with a denial asking for mor evidence. I satisfied every request, and am now waiting for a letter stating what they are doing. They are pure evil at the VA.

      BTW, I request a phone call in a higher level review, I never received a phone call. we are always home and also have a answering recorder at home. The claim says it was closed on their website for our VA online accounts. I think their lack of communication is criminal, treats us badly, and abusive. If they would only communicate. I also am so angry by the time I go through years of claim abuse, I cannot answer the surveys they send. As far as I am concerned they are worthless and worded so you cannot truly tell them how angry we are at the b.s. they put us through!

  2. it's not just pain, my heart is working very hard, like it is going to explode.. and I am either going to have a stroke or a heart attack.. don't get me wrong, if I can walk I will. but it becomes unbearable often.
  3. I have been thinking about getting like a golf cart for around my home.. I am also looking at getting a mobility scooter. I am 100% disabled and have issues that are causing severe blood flow issues to my heart, and have had a heart attack and swelling legs when I walk or drive not far. I am trying to figure out what to do. I try and walk as much as I can but suffer greatly. I vowed I would never go back to a wheel chair, but I can't fight it. Do I just ask my primary care at the VA? about an electric scooter? Thanx.

    this is what the VA denied me, even when I got sick on active duty and the USAF doctors determined the chemicals got me very sick. The VA are crooks and liars!

      You could try both these things.  

      1.  File a nod disputing it at the bva.  

      2. ALSO, file a cue "if" your duty station is on the presumptive list(s).  Did you review your cfile (electornic, vbms) to ensure you had all the evidence?  If something is missing, such as your treatment in the AF, then file a 38 cfr 3.156 new evidence

      all I hear is, unless you were at Guam, then nope. I just hear and hear the same thing, no case.

  5. BTW, I had to take it to higher lever review, the first bozo at the VA was totally cluelss. and not worth going into the absolutely stupid response I got back after waiting the first a couple of months. After that, al my response back for 6 more months went to the Higher Level non-sense. Also, they send you the denials for only one item at a time. if they had told me upfront al of the items in the denials, I would have sent the further evidence all at one time. Not peace meal stretching months and months of back and forth lies and non-sense. Again, dealing with nincompoops and va employees who live to deny. (sorry, but I am holding back so much after this b.s. since the 1990's !!)
  6. I had to file the CUE of mine, on my own. I filed online directly the Wisconsin VA claims office. I search the filing claims, and there is no CUE claim form. I filed it as any claim would be filed and wrote it as a CUE. Since the only feedback I got was the usual denial, to which I have rebutted each denial with solid evidence that they were wrong and I am right, with the copies of al VA correspondence evidence. I never got any feedback from them with any help at all. I wish I could have had professional, help. I did get some great help her eon Hadit, using a template. But, putting on a regular claim form is difficult, as the claim form, I believe is not right for a CUE. But, the VA doesn't care and expect you to use it the way it is. It doesn't allow you to present the CUE properly. Correct me if I am wrong. I just feel it is much harder to break the mold and present the CUE as CUE, their crappy form is formatted. Terrible for CUE. IMHO.
  7. I have a rep, but he stopped helping me after the last two very large payouts.. I really don't want to give the name, but he is very well known and highly regarded. in any case, I know I will win, they are just dragging it out through incompetence or on purpose or both. I also put in my claim that no one is helping, me as I am not going to have him get anything for not helping me on this claim. I guess that 'duty to assist' is still b.s. as they only try to deny. But believe me, they can't say they didn't know the 1151 dates and BVA grants and dates now, they now have more copies of my documents. Unless they didn't have them or couldn't find them, which I can't believe they didn't look. They somehow made up a date 5 years later than my grant date from the BVA. They really should be fired for doing this to vets. No Justice. Sorry, but they just make me angry and rant. I also am so sick now, I could never get through the lawyer help thing every again. They all had their chance to make a fortune off my hell. and they refused. All the hell I went through begging for help for decades and decades. Been going through hell since 1990. I do appreciate the thoughts and insights on how to get through this. At least I got it going, and my family will be here if I am gone.
  8. Update on my Cue: so far with my CUE claims to fix the date of my 1151 grant, the grant said for the injury during surgery, from the surgery. The VA pulled date out of their ass, 5 years later than the surgery. I filed the CUE, at my rep said he would not help me with the CUE. They would send me a denial, saying I (they and my records) didn't have any evidence of the injury, The VA sent me that 6 weeks after original filing of the CUE. I immediately sent them the info of the place and date of the surgery. Then They said they didn't have any proof of any claims before 2012 (incident of injury the BVA granted to me was for (2008) 1151 claim. They also had no mention of it being a CUE and were treating as anew claim. Again, I immediately sent them back a copy of my old claims evidence from the VA going about to 1997 update in 2009 with the Necrotizing pancreatitis from the original Intestinal disease. PLus re-enforcing it is a CUE. As they were trying to say it was a regular claim. Even though I spelling out all of the CUE and requirements (which I met) in my CUE filings. Also they demanded I had claims during the Granted 1151 claim. The CUE as far as I know doesn't required you have claims during the time of an 1151 surgery grant. But, in any case, I did have claims before then. I meet every requirement and they keep trying the change the CUE to a claim and lie about dates. Either they lost my files, or lying or both. The latest denial was January 2023. I have since them sent them evince 2 times, and no response back yet. I looked online at my claims and it says they are reviewing my case. I don't trust the B.s. They put for us to read. They have been screwing me since last year on my CUE, finding ways to deny or delay. They are totally inept, incompetent crooks at the VA.
  9. it just occurred to me that those looking for hospital records from civilian hospitals, in the State of California, if you have not been a patient there for 7 years, they are no longer legally responsible to keep your records. You can go to their records and find out. THis may not still be the law, as I haven't looked into it in many years. Hope it helps someone.

  12. Thank you! without al of the help I could have not found all of this help anywhere else!
  13. I think you left out one thing about Mac, vs Windows. originally, Mac processor architecture were totally different from Windows OS architecture. One works better with running some types of software and machines than the other. Hence why the MAC software could not be flat out ran on a windows machine. Without code changes, and Vice Versa. Each is great in their own way.
  14. the va is still fighting me over effective dates, the last excuse they used was the last filing I did, was 2012. I sent them my VA letters showing I had open claims from decades it the past. since my paid rep helped me in the past, and left him as a retainer as being on retainer. he also said he would not help me get an earlier effective date, so my filing of a CUE for a new effective date has been a fight going on 6 months. I include a letter in my CUE filing that I am claiming the CUE on my own with no help from anyone else. And my rep is not helping with my CUE. They sent me a letter stating I had no claims before 2012 for the conditions. I sent them the official correspondence from the VA with dates of claims (going back decades). Also had sent a copy of my letter from the VA stating they were the cause of my Necrotizing pancreatitis from 2008. The VA continues to lie and fight me, and I keep giving them copies of the very documents in my files over 3 decades. They are either very incompetent or such aggreges liars.
