  1. I found more info on my claim, seems way more up to date:

    va.gov/track-claims/your-claims

     

  2. some of my medical records

    01-01-11_My_Medical_Records2.jpg

  3. 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.

  4. Those that know me, please excuse any info that has already been talked about in length in the past,, this i smor elike an additon with ongoing and newer issues that are linked to the past...

    I was healthy when I was very young and in the USAF. I got sick in the USAF from chemcials, and left and worked in fields without chemicals. MY father died of COPD. 
    I got pancreatic disease linked to the USAF. I have suffered from Pnumunia inthe past too, and have had breathing problems for decades, but the necrotizing pancreatits affects many organs. 
    I was in hosptial bed for 6 months and on a feeding tube and took many years to eat and walk again. My lungs have had issues with breathing for decades, but the breathing issues came up bad with the pancreatic disease. Beforre then only pnumonia was my only lung problem experience and that was on active duty.

    and have had so many problem with my nasal passages, and have had severe discharge of material from my nose, and in the last couple of years I have had very thick stuff. Actually the feeding tube caused me great node and nasal problems and I had growths inthere and also the feeding tubes when they would remove on or they would expels themselves (violently) out of my intestines and nose when they became green color with looked like bacteria..

    coming out my nose and was like silicone so thick, a horrific smell like sulfur for aat least a decade... and the white stuff was just like silicon out of the tube you can buy,, and also turned hard and would break out of my skin with blood.

    The doctors were of no help, they would jsut brush it off..

    my percentage of oxygen has been going down over the yars and lots of blood pressure problems.

     

    I am still suffering with leg swelling, but not the feet.

    lately that silcone has turned to a rubber, foam and liquid, both and either just collectsdvery fast or I have viloent sneezes and I get rolls and blocks of it out of my nose.

     

    I have had lots of pain for years up in my chest and I can't tell if it is from the pancreas of lungs themselvs.,,, and not I am expelling large chunks of rubbey frothing chunks and liquid, and am not sure what else I have now. 

    I have the VA for my health provider and they are not so good at helping me, as they are not very good with people with so many really serious issues. 
    I have had so many doctors come and go, and I get so frustrated with trying to get help with all these issues,, they just usually take tests and , as with the 
    pancreatic disease they told me they cannot help me, but just give me meds. I am wondering if anyone else has these issues with these nasal and lung discharges, 
    Always out of breath. I am afraid to start yapping about it to my wife, she hates to hear me with all my issues and she says she cannot handle the pressure, and I read to 
    see what is wrong, the doctors just don't help much. I just want to know if soemone else experiences the dicharge out the nose, mouth etc.. 
    oh yeah, forgot about the blood pressure and heart beat all over the place. I am in my mid 60's now. Thanx for any info on experince with this... I am not sure what to make of this rubbery, hardish and soft foamy stuff coming out of my lungs...

  5. I have retained John Dorle to represent me. I have spoken to him for a couple of years. I believe he can fix many of the issues I have been through with the VA, BVA, and getting my full benefits. I fired the VA claims reps. I am in the low 90's in my ratings and purely believe the VA stonewalled me at every turn. I have al confidence Mr. Dorle can bring it al home and I am happy to let him have everything he earns. It is an extreme hardship load off of me to have someone that is so good at this work for me. If I could have gotten him years ago I would have but I tried to find people and interview many, many legal people and no one came close to understanding, and they are were just greed and didn't have a grasp on how much I could win and was being stolen from me by the VA. I myself with a really bad mind and body won an 1151 by myself when no one else would help. Imagine what a pro could to. It maybe a while, bit worth the wait. I have waited decades already, plus if something happened to me, during this long fight, my family can continue getting the benefits the va withheld and stole.

  6. I am in an area of Oregon where there fires and evacuations. Right now I am good. No need to evacuate at this time at Level 1. Thank you all.

  7. it looks like they low balled me bad on my 1151 win with my necrotizing pancreatitis.

    I have like 5 issues,,,

    1-the 1151 was a pancreas procedure that failed (won)

    2-depression from illness and pain (won)

    3-skin issues remanded (eczema skin swells too) remanded

    4-gastritis and ibs from active duty originally filed and denied 1997. (remanded)

    5-myosotis (muscles fill out, flab, but no power, no nutrients from the intestinal and pancreas disease, so they are very weak) remanded

    6-neurological (the neurologists said it was Parkinsons... but originally had taken meds on active duty when I got sick from chemicals and took meds for tremors) but I lost al controls of my limbs and had to be bathed and moved by others until I got strength up and got some of the limbs control back, but lose control of my limbs when doing strenuous activity (remanded)

     

    I was at 60 % for many year (50% headaches plus 10% for bad knee patella from active duty)

    now with the 1151 win from the pancreas surgery issues (was in VA hospital 6 months fighting for my life after they cut the wrong parts) plus depression, my rating looks like it went to only 90%

    Of course the remands are still out there..

    Was I low balled ?

     

    (I downloaded my benefits letter and found this number out.)

    I sent my POA a copy of my BVA decisions.

     

    Rhetorical and depressed, who can one with 1151 with necrotizing pancreatitis, spend 1 year in a wheel chair and in bed, no chance of any cure ever. Very sick and in severe pain every day.

    60% to 90% low balled? and with a few more issues in remand...

     

    any more advice?

    Thanx..

  12. You posted a question in 2012 asking about the TCE link and Parkisons.. well, it looks like they finally linked my exposure after all these years.. it still hasn't been rated, and more contentions to go... at least I can finally answer you with a better answer...

  13. My new VSO is gfetting me a BVA video hearing with Wash DC office in a few motnsh for my appeal. She wil also represtn me int he hearing, and she has my IMO and says it is a good IMO... Things maybe looking up and when the BVA appeal hearing happens, I will update.. I jus tneed patience and to keep al my appointments and don't do anything stupid when I feel low..,, I must push forward.... thank everyone here..

  14. looks like my appeals went to the BVA judge, for the last time. after two remands that took two years... I sent in a bunch of new documents in to the judge (through my P.O.A.), I did not trust the R.O. to read them, or care about them. I feel better with the BVA judge than the whole R.O. that screwed it all up since day one. The BVA judge get's it back in his hands in April 2018.
