&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& you mightask one of the guys that is so smart on these things... BUT, as I have read some place, if you are 100% P&T or 100% IU you can get dental I might be able to find that if you want.... just ask

Maybe a simple request or task ought to be issued to select members of the Media to actually INVESTIGATE each individual complaint we all have about the VA. Each member of the media can be contacted via e-mail that you are interested in doing a fair Investigation. list each question, complaint or concern in a short sentence. Several people on Fox come to mind, but pick all that you wish to be invited in the investigation. send out 2, 4,8, how ever many e-mails.... pick a single 60 minute reporter send your e-mails several times, give them you contact information so that they can reply. Even John Stossel in Fox business.... Someone that Will spend research time to get at the facts, remember you do not need to talk about your file, boxes of proof, that Will make him lose interest, tell them if they want your story, to have them contact you.... If they get interested your gunna be on the phone for hours.... Be polite and organized...

It is real easy to get all upset about the 60 minutes report last night, but ...\Suggestion every one that posts use some type of easily understandable questions that the Investigators ought to ask. \ something like the below 1. what is the role of the private civilian C&P company the VA Uses and the conflicts and problems associated. 2. shreadergate 3. Why no universal training of the evaluators so that like at McDonald's if you hate the hamburger in California, and Texas, you can bet it all the Seattle and Memphis McDonald's is crap also.. 4.VA lawyers and what they have done to get them in trouble\\ 5. LIST the list of complaints and questions, do not state your problem in full detail, we want the INVESTIGATORS to look into very precise directions and problems. go here yo post your list http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=605...ain;cbsCarousel I have posted though I forget the best ones..

Well, bemoaning the weak, short ill informed 60 minutes show, everyone needs to go to the CBS 60 minutes web site look around to send e-mails with what every one has said here and more.... Ex[lain to tha "show" they need to actually do some reporting and INVESTIGATION.... I and you know a good portion of what the VA claims will never happen. The sweet heart deal with the private C&P company just for one thing.... what about the VA officials that got thrown in jail? shreddergate, and all? never mentioned..... there is a list that needs to be made I will light up CBS's web site with e-mails to 60 Minutes and show them they missed the wholepoint.. WE all need to get the ball rolling..

*************************************************** the reason I say that is because the government feed us smokes in every C-Rat seems now us old guys were induced to smoke if so inclined..... I saw guys smoke that never smoked after a few mortor rounds and AK rounds and dead buddies.... Now no smokes in the daily ration... they mayhave a claim with the youngsters of todays military, but I think not. I bet a group of lawyers are ready to jump on that issue

********************************************************* Not being an expert......... I'd ask your county VSO. But, I myself would have it filed in a heart beat with all the associated evidence you can send.. pile it on.... One never know if your claim you have iin now is a slam dunk.... plus the sooner you file the AO IHD claim the sooner your retro may start..... on the IHD

************************************************************* If they try that it may start a fire storm, in the 60's everyone smoked like a chiminey, except me and I have filed for AO IHD

****************************************************************************** another Air Wing guy,,,,, JUST finished filing with my county VSO for AO IHD presumptive. File real quck, the faster the better to try to start a retrodate...... County VSO's where I live do a great job and are very nice folks.... Call a VSO tell them what you want to do have the DD-214 and your buddy ready to go... VA health records, or civilian health records, ask your VSO ..... usually civillian records you have to get the doctors office, & get the Hospital each for records,...... depending if they share records Have all the civilian records copied, the VSO can do that for free, if you have a set from Dr, and or hospital. copy a set fill out the paper wwork,, the VSO does that you have your buddy sign some papers and submit your documents and the DD-214 and your off, if the VA wants more you can add latter.... The VA is writing the propose rules for this new group, a 90 day thing, but who know when they will actually drop the proposed rules out to public view, then after 60 days we, the public have 30 days to make comments.......adivise to have them maybe change a rule.... I have the web site you can go look for that stuff, but I figure the VA will drag that out ..... File and file now, do not wait....... repeat file now.. S/F to your buddy.... ask him if he is a Hollywood Marine..

***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** I have AO exposure and a presuptive IHD , have had three different ICD's implanted and just had a eckocardiogram that as the VA studied was " poor result " then a Muga last week at the VA and the report back gave me a EF of 46... shich I think is better than my civilian Doccs said it was a mid 30's five years ago. I suspect the VA will stall, and or narrow the application of the IHD presumptives claim, many will not be included.... I have filed the total claim with my VSO and await the results.

If everyone will sit down , take your Meds, and a deep breathe..... Here is your VA working to get claims processed.... You can thank me later http://jdavis92840.newsvine.com/_news/2009...-by-legislators

******************************************88 had a echocardiogram at VA most part " poor study" then last week I had a MUGA/LAO test waiting for results have a ten year history with a civilian Cardiac electrophysiology that has implanted in the past ten year three ICD . Letters from my Cardiac electrophysiology Doctor and my civilian internist. Sent all Cililian Cardic files in with claim, along with ROI signed forms for all the other doctors and test I have ever had in the past 10 years..... I await what ever happens

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& just got back from VA hospital for a MUGA / LAO test it is a Radioisotope Testing me thinks it is a test to get a ejection fraction rate....(Blood Flow???). they will, I suspect use that for ths AO IHD Claim...... Echkocardiogram of mine came back inconclusive....

Anyone have a ICD implanted, I have IHD. this is third ICD for me and I have filled for AO IHD end of Oct. complete medical record from my Electrophysicists clinic were sent with claim and two letters from my doctors stating I have IHD..... If they read the file and know what they are doing I hope that I have given all the info I can

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Seems that I read that the new rules work this way 1. 60 days to have the VA write the new proposed rules and refine them. 2. submit the new proposed rules to public comment and input, they have 30 days to get that done 3. Publish the actual rules on the 91st day. Could be wrong, I hope not..... They will stall if they can to stop/Stall the retro pay STARING date.....

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Hope they are wrong, also I have been told that with a ICD (mediGot same letter and I filed 26Oct09 for the presumptice IHD AO claim. I have been told that the VA probably will not use our dates of filing for any paymnet... cal device) I will get a 100% rating, Time will tell, anyone for a long knap till they decide? My VSo and I meet mondayto send in ROI forms for medial records from all my health care providers& civilian hospitals , and letter from Cardiologist that implanted the ICD. Plus a copy of my 30No2009 echocardiogram the VA gave me.... I have copy and am not afraid to use it...
