Around The Mulberry Bush I Go Again With The Amc

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Greeting to all,

Well, Here I go around the Mulberry Bush again.

I thought that I was getting somewhere with this AMC claim.

The Rating Specialist had my claims file exactly one year ago this month to go back to the "two psychiatrist."

It went back to her/him again.

I was told that the " Rating Supervisor" had the claim to sign.

Not true!! The Rating Specialist turned the file over for more information.

Berta was correct. The letter by my doctor sent April 2006 was not present in my claim and neither was the letter by my Pastor, per the request of the remand.

This is why my doctor received the last letter to which he sent his fouth letter to them.

Now, I am told again, all the information is in the file, but who knows, it has been 12 months for the person that checked the file to not see that they were not present.

Lidel told me today that the file went from the " Rating Supervior" to Claims Examiner to place each paper in its correct order to go back to the " Rating Specialist".

He told me to call back tomorrow to make sure that the claim was back at the " Rating Specialist".

How does so many people check a claim to find out a year, that they have lost important papers.

I have been moved up to an anwer by " Thanksgiving". I forgot to ask him which year. I will make a point to ask him this question tomorrow.

This will make 18 months at the AMC and this is an " Advancement on the Docket"

Hi

Im getting dizzy from being on the same Merry go Round as you. Today it's 845 days at AMC. I m waiting for my IMO from Dr. Bash, then I ll send it and a letter from me via certified mail and hope they do not loose it. Many internet publications I sent to AMC about my back condition were not in the claims file, prolly discarded because they were not case specific.

I do not want my claim with a rater until I submit my IMO.

Happy Trails

Paul

When I count my blessings I count my family and friends twice.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

Well done is better than well said.

Paul,

I certaily wouldn't want the rater to have your claim until you turn in your IMO from Dr. Bash.

Just wondering, has anyone mentioned that when you fax information to the AMC that you must place this Unit on the Fax Sheet.

It is:

Appeals Management Center Unit 397.

Finally after 18 months, Ernest explained without this unit number, they have no way of knowing where your fax went to.

Everyone just assumed that someone else gave it to me.

Always and the Best,

Betty

Hello Josephine,

Getting the evidence into your file is one thing. after you've forced them to put it there, you will need to get them to recognize it and act on it in accordance with the laws.

The AMC sent my folder to St Petersburg VARO contractors to trash after I sent in Dr Bashs IMO. They completely blew it off and denied it.

Dr Bash sent in two more IMO's but they denied the claim again without giving them any consideration or listing them as evidence. The Board of Veterans appeals remanded it back to the appeals center again in June 06 holding them in violation for denying the claim.

These so called rating specialists can get away with anything and it will be labeled as an error?

Intentional criminal acts designed to cheat veterans out of their benefits are not errors.

Such crimes against disabled Veterans should be made an example out of just like the ones receiving benefits that aren't even veterans. If they can hunt those frauds down, they should be able to track those rating specialists down and prosecute them for their crimes.

Allen,

I think that these "rating specialist" receive a bonus at the end of each year for every claim that they deny and think how many veterans won't continue with their claims.

I am trusting that I may have an honest one, since they did take the time to send my claims file to their " Supervisor" for assistance and she/he in turn did re-contact my own doctor for more information.

I am holding on to the thought "an unjust Rating Specialist" would have just stamped a denial and kept trucking to the next one.

My claims file is now back on its' way to the Rating Supervisor.

They in the end may prove and change my thinking on this claim.

Always and Best for You,

Josephine
