Can't see this going sideways........... Hamslice

First DBQ's, now the 48 hour rule. Next???? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” ― Rahm Emanuel. COVID-19, Just sayin, Hamslice

Here, 1st Sergeant, Hamslice

My opinion only, But, technically you could have met the statutory requirements percentage wise for IU, but you are not IU until they determine you are IU. What I am saying is you could be 100% and be employable, and then without changing anything percentage wise, you could have become unemployable. Just the opposite, you could be 10% disabled and unemployable, but, you would not meet the statutory percentage for IU. Yes, I know, technically you could be IU at 10%, but that would be the exception, not the rule. So, you need to find out when the doctor(s) say you were unemployable. That is when it should have started. FWIW, Hamslice

Here's the deal. The VA had a secret code, with the "as least as likely" bullsh** that had to be verbatim for your claim to succeed. Then, some Veteran's broke the code, found the required terminology to win claims. Then, the VA started using a checklist for the Veteran's claim. Then, some Veterans found the checklist and started using it to win claims. Well we can't have Veteran's winning now can we, Didn't think so, Hamslice Now, it will take another couple years to find their new formula, and when we do, we ride!!!!!!

I guess my topic "ABC's of DBQ's" topic was a little premature. So, with a fraud rate that high, I can imagine the extra hoops a claim is going to go through when a Veteran uses an "out of town" doc to do his/her exam. The VA wants the Veteran to use an accredited doc/service off their list. So now they got their fingers in the test taker and the test scorer. Can't see nothing going wrong with that scenario. Just sayin, Hamslice

Congratulations, 90 to 100 is a big job, I'm still working on it. rootbeer22, from out of nowhere, hello again, Hamslice

Rat Bastards are working against us. "I don't care what you say" My dad's favorite line, Hamslice

Buck, You may be correct. But what if a Veteran (not someone already in the system) just went online and filed out a claim form and sent it in by himself. Wonder what would happen.. Hamslice

"Furthermore, Senate Republicans’ proposal only provides half-benefits for individuals who need these checks most, like seniors on a fixed income or those who pay very little or no tax. Expanding Social Security and other benefits by $200 a month through 2021 will be a more stable and reliable source of support for these seniors and the economy as public health officials work to contain this virus." It was in an op-ed by Elizbeth Warren. Her opinion on what she thinks would work better. Not in the law, Hamslice

While doing some research regarding VSO's, I learned of the 48 hour rule. I did not know of that before. Talk about a great tool, that apparently VSO's don't use. Just think of what could be fixed up front, instead of all the appeals. If I pull my POA and become my own advocate, will the rater shoot me a copy and give me 48 hours to make corrections or bring errors to their attention? I think not, but will have to do some more looking, FWIW, Hamslice

Right from the VFW online site, Hamslice Don't let the truth get in your way.

Let me put it a different way. Imagine, you could not file your income taxes unless you used TurboTax, TaxSlayer or Jackson Hewitt. You could file on your own, but you would not get to see your W-2's, tax tables or use a computer. Only paper and your memory. That don't make sense, yet we allow it with the VA and claims. Hamslice Oh, I almost forgot, make them tax-exempt too.

"My dues give a private party access to my claim, because congress, who was given my money, gave them that right, which I don't have." Reading comprehension. Let me explain in plain English, 1. I pay my dues 2. VSO's, a private organization, gives my money to the Congressmen. 3. Congressmen give VSO's a secret (not me) access to my file as it is being developed. My contention. VSO's would not exist if we had their access. Hamslice And, if you're stuck on "we", VSO's are tax exempt, therefore, you and me make up their shortfall. So yes, we pay for the VSO reps, cause they don't pay their fare share.

deedub, You prove my point from an inside view. They do not do what they can and could. Yet we pay them too. Shameful, Hamslice Give me the 48 hours and a direct line to the rater...
