What is the actual status of your claims? Are they all still pending and if so, did you file NOD in time?

Did the VA acknowledge receipt of the additional evidence you found?

Did you receive a VCAA letter with an election notice?

A good service officer can help more than CBS or whoever-

also Congressmen and Senators can do very little because they do not control the claims process and are not raters-

When VA gets an inquiry from them , it can take many months or even years for VA to respond.

Senator Craig with 5 days of receipt of letter from me immediately contacted my RO.

Then they immediately transferred my claim to the BVA-they immediately got it back-

they did not know how to answer this Senators letter and hoped BVA would get stuck with it.

He still has not heard from them.

The only thing that helps a claim succeed is evidence and making sure that they read it.

Fax it to the director if you have to-

The VA gave you -at some point- reasons for their denial in a SOC-

that is what the NSO or vet rep needs to see.

Plus the evidence you mentioned here.

It sounds definitely like potential for service connection here but a good service officer can sort it all out.

You can obtain the status at 1-800-827-1000 or-often better-send an Iris inquiry at the VA web site to your VARO.

WHat I see lacking in your message is anyone such as DAV or AL on your POA.

You need a good vet's representative--even the Texas Veterans Commission-

whoever will help with all this.

If it were me and I still lived near Dallas I would go to the Dallas VA and ask to see the Supervisor for Records and the Hospital Administrator. I would ask the Administrator to please help me find the records. I am pretty sure that they have them they just have to go trough a lot of old hard copy records.

Good Luck on your claim. I doubt that you will ever hear back from Channel 11 but you never know.

The Dallas VA has your records. Your requests have gone to some of the laziest people in the World and if you have an Administrator telling the boss in the basement they will find them.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Or, he can go to the Patient Advocate's office (down by the pharmacy in the new clinic area) and talk with....lessee, I've got her name here somewhere. Well, heck, I thought I did.....she's the gal with the two-last-names. Anyway, talk with her, or anybody in the Patient Advocate's office. They'll want you to fill out a "communicating with the boss" form....GET THEM TO HELP YOU WITH THIS please.

Welcome Aboard!

"It is cold and we have no blankets.

The little children are freezing to death.

My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.

I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

dlc56,

Welcome aboard. I know you are burned up, but save it for the battle you are about to fight. Hadit will be your most useful tool. Every little thing that you will learn, on Hadit, will help you.

I think that it is a "Writ of Mandamus", that you are looking for. POV is service term for (Private Owned Vehicle). POA is (Power of Attorney).

Excerpt from the 'Declaration of Independence'

 

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Post in What is the DIC timeline?

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
