They have all of my records, the bva judge,. in the remand told them they ignored my records...

I have been holding back form the nasty C&P doctors and stupid thing they say and do! I told the doctor about a bad sinus infection after I had a feeding tube though my nose into my intestines for 6 months. How the mucus fill the inside of my nose. He says, nasty: there is no evidence! Yes, I went to the clinic and told them of my problem a few months after discharge after my 6 month inpatient stay for pancreas disease. The physc got angry because I asked what they had already written, because I had been through so much for so long I had no idea what he already knew! he started asking about my childhood and if I was in trouble with the law! It went on and on! The Neurologist says, there is no evidence of anything, even though I lived in the hospital for 6 months, surely he had notes??? I had no control of my body and had complete paralysis of my limbs as they waved in the air if I tried to do anything. I have no muscle, they had all wasted away and I was a skeleton. he would not listen, so I gave up and could not communicate with this ass-hole. I could not lift my leg one inch. If I fell out of m chair people had to ick me up for 1 year. Yet, I was just looked at like I was a malingering faker trying to scam the VA.

http://www.webmd.com/cancer/pancreatic-cancer/pancreatic-cancer-symptoms What I feel everyday, for 20 years... 24/7. I am so dead tired and so dead tired of doctors asking me where the pain is. I wish I could inject them with it, so they would stop asking stupid questions

http://www.sciencecorps.org/Veteranshealth/ Those who worked with toxic chemicals, fuels, and cleaning chemicals I did, and have terminal pancreatic disease.. yet they just told me to f-off, and after years of appeals, am now going through the last stages, BVA appeal and had some C%P exams. Awaiting for judges decsions

Example, a section for people with Pancreas disease to exchange notes and research in claims having to do with diagnosed pancreas disease. I know there are sections for people with TBI, neurological, mental, etc. It would be helpful for those of us with conditions that are already diagnosed by doctors, but have a hard time preparing for the claims process for such conditions. Doing a search with keywords really doesn't work well enough to see who others get their ducks in a row for the claims... The same would be helpful for may other conditions, although many of these conditions are rare. Other conditions and injuries are much, much more common. IMHO

My father, Navy, 1947, 1951,spent most of his life with bad breathing problems by the time I was in about the 6th grade. it got worse. I did not like doctors and never saw one. Later, about the time I left home and joined the USAF, he went to the VA and asked for benefits with a disability claim (about 1975), and he went to one C&P. They gave it to him. One try, never saw a doctor since the NAVY. He had COPD all of those, and smoked cigs until he was about 50 yrs old. he died of COPD a few years later. I got sick, went to doctors for 40 years. Didn't smoke or drink. Yet they ripped me apart for everything I did or didn't do they checked and hassled me for every life decision. My first go around they gave me 50% for headache from chemicals. But, denied the intestinal disease and bad knee in 1997. They only acknowledged the jet fuel, but not all of the other. This latest judge, BVA appeal judge told the VA they omitted all of the other toxic chemicals in my records. it took 100 letters of me begging them to include al of the chemicals I was soaked in. It was not casual contact. I was soaked in them. And the job descriptions included them, but the claims people purposely omitted and ignored them. I know I have no way of knowing the ratings, etc,, until after. I am not 100% happy with all of the exams, discussions, and trying to explain everything was a real pain because often the doctors refuse to listen, and tell you ' there is no evidence' and do that so strongly, they accuse you of lying and tell you to shutup.. and they don't have time, and so you never really get to tell your side. Since I lived in a hospital 6 months, There are a zillion pages of notes of everything. I hope they use the notes from the doctors and nurses I Lived with day and night, over the crappy exam notes. The doctors and nurses saw and witnessed my paralyzed days and weeks. if I try to tell the lousy neurologists at an exam they say I am mentally ill and lying. Yet, The doctors notes have months of my health for 24/7 observation and sponge baths.

In home stretch for decsion after all these years of appeals and claims. I want to post some info about the claims and appeals, and research that went into the process for injuries and diseases from chemical exposure on active duty, all the filings, research for doctor's IMO's. All of the VSO's failed attempts for lawyers to help. My claims go back to the 1990's and injuries from about 1978. The appeals, the hearings, the dockets. The C&P's, The judges remand telling the VA to include al of my medical records that were never included, and or omitted. The very long hospital stays, surgeries. More letters, more statements. I want to know how and where to post info so others can see info on toxic chemical exposure on the job, and related injuries. My appeal is in the process of going back tot the appeals judges. I just finished many C&P Exams, and I hope the decisions on so many issues, are made by October of this year 2016.

I did a repeat with Internal med doctor, who runs the Clinic. She seemed good, and cared. Though, I have no clue what the final outcome is. I still hope the 6 months as an inpatient at the VA Hospital counts a lot for my Appeal. All I need it is to make the threshold to bump it up to 100%% with things like Housebound, TDIU, 1151, etc..etc.. from my current 60%. If they go back a few years, that would help too. I am so disheartened, burned out, disgusted, sick, tired, depressed by the nightmare it took to get this far. My On Duty service records show my hospitalizations, and they are related to my current health problems. I don't have any fight left in me! I am well done, cooked, baked, fried. I am just hanging on waiting for my pancreas disease to go into final stages, cancer, Jaundice, etc. The surgeons told me that those are what they are watching for, as they are what happens to people with necrotizing pancreatitis. Multi-organ failure is also very likely. At least I got to finish these appeals. I hope.

BTW, I lived in a VA Hospital, for 6 months in 2008, for failed pancreas operations, and complications. I was tube fed, and was left in a wheel chair for a year, had to learn to walk and eat again... They have 6 months of notes from my stay. You would think they had enough on me. !!! It has taken this long for the appeals stage for the C&P exams!

I went to 3 C&P exams, and they were finished.. I know a couple should have been favorable, at least I thought so... Now they called me back and told me I have to redo one of those, they said that doctor is no longer there! I think they are trying to stop me from having a favorable exam! Has anyone had to go back and re-do an exam? I have to go back next week for the redo. I couple weeks ago, One of the exams, neuro the doctor was a prick and would not listen... One doctor, English was his second language , I could barely understand his thick Indian accent. I think the C&P exams are rigged, and a scam.

I did hire John, but still had to use my VSO, John said it was too late at that time to use John, because of VA/BVA rules at which time you can change representation. But John guides me from the outside. Since I retained him before my BVA hearing, he will continue to advise me. I am really too sick to think through all of this legal stuff. Complicated. But, at least I still have a fighting chance. It appears the judge told the VA RO to find evidence from specialists in the medical fields that I am filing my claims for, and then go back and approve and rate if I meet the 'more than likely, or 50%/or more most likely. If they say not likely, then I need to rebut them. I think that's what is going on. Over the next week or so I will try to get my remand edited for posting. Thank you, Steven Palmer

Bertha, I replied to you via e-mail with a copy of the remand. Once I know what part I should edit out the personal info and post the proper portion of the remand. note: I am having a big problem with Win10 and my browser in this forum. Sometimes it just will not let me write and post without lots of problems, so I have to keep the info short.

================ Berta, I have the Remand for my case(s), from my 1151 BVA hearing, I just got it, I scanned it into my computer and sent a copy to Mr. John Dorle. Would it be ok, If I sent you a copy so you could see it, I would post it, but I need to redact private info out of it if posted in public forums. Also, John said let the Remand play out before doing anything else at this time. File is a PDF and just over 37 MB. Less then 50 pages. Let me know, I could email it if you would like a look. I have not had a lot of time to digest the Remand. It looks promising. The fact that they remanded it means I still am good. IMHO

The VA websites are always screwed-up!

I plan on getting a walk -in -tub, hopefully if my appeals ever get through... I need one, as I slip and fall easily. The VA gave me a chair that sits in a shower, but I need the walk in for safety, I have a very difficult time on wet surface and stepping over stuff... I hope it will happen before I fall again....

Like I said these are old claims, they are in the last of the appeal stages.. but wanted to say these claims have many other connected health issues, to let others know that one problem often has many other related health problems.... when you file.... as they will not look unless you tell them..

My computer is high performance, Windows 10. The scripts on Hadit servers cause my computer to lag with high CPU use. It works with anything needing high performance, like combat flight simulators. Just Win10 can't handle too much scripting and ads. I know it is beyond the control of Hadit website, as the servers run the ads. it is very difficult to type in the forums with high CPU usage. FYI

I have 10% for my left knee Patella damage injury from active duty. It took 20 years to get by denials. I won on appeals later helped contribute a disc in my back to break.

Along with and necrotizing pancreatitis, I also have thrombosis, and blockages to my heart in the Splenic vein/artery. I suffer from severe numbness in my face, especially in the mornings.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenic_infarction when I was hospitalized, the VA used chemicals to break the clots in the veins and arteries to my heart. They cannot do surgeries because of the disease is bad, I bleed internally if they touch anything near the pancreas. I get really weak on bad days and very numb in my face and limbs. All of this info says it can lead to a stroke if the thrombosis is bad enough, with the numbness. These are on appeal, and still don't have the BVA decision. I d to tell the neurologist the numbness is getting worse. I don't have a GI follow up for a few more months. They are suppose to cat scan the area e months because of disease. Bu I move from the Southwest Pacific Northwest, the VA changed my appointments to 1/2 of what the surgeons told them I needed. I have a very hard time walking more then a few minutes, or hot weather, doing easy tasks, too hard to clean around the house, hard to garden. I try, I try to keep busy. The Summer weather just wipes me out, but I can enjoy cold weather. My body doesn't suffer as much when I am cool or cold. If anyone feels any of these symptoms, let them know, at least it will be part of your medical records. I tried telling them time is not on m side, but it not help speed up any claims. They just don't care if you are in horrible health in the claims process. These diseases are in my records. I know I did pit this in the appeal threads. But, for those that are still in the claims process, the info might you.

Had requests for BVA hearing going back to 2009, in another state. I Moved. I started new claims and requests, the latest an 1151, denied, then BVA hearing requested. Had BVA hearing for 1151 (Necrotizing pancreatitis,. failed operations,) too many health problems to list (plus it is a fatal disease, time is not on my side), we asked judge to put all appeals in one. Had BVA hearing March 2016. The Ebenefits shows : - Open Appeals (2) Historical Appeals This section shows status updates for your Open Appeals.

I there must be a Magic Decoder Ring in in a box of cereal that got lost. I do not understand what Ebenefits keeps writing and changing. Never makes any sense. Different words, phrases, and dates come and go. Like if you put 1,000,000 monkeys on typewriters (computers) there is better chance on an intelligent word being written and understood. ========================== I had a BVA hearing March 2016 (1151 from 2014). The VA keeps changing dates and in Ebenefits. I just don't understand write.
