I have been told CNN will be doing a two part special report on the Veterans Administration soon. Please let me know when this is planned to air.

Thank you

I am already set up to TIVO both Reports. Looks like CNN is going after them pretty good from trailers put on another thread by Stretch.

I guy National Guard got hit with IED blown off arm "dominate arm" shrape metal up and down his body was not service connected O% fractured jaw PTSD 0% this guy got 10% for an arm. Signature of Dr.was cut out on his P&C exam when VA sent there findings. Another guy burn beyond recognition's 1 Eye and no ears, arm, nose, big toe sewed on to only hand with 3 pieces of fingers, metal plate to covering his brain. Hew was a 50%. They all got 100% There live are destroyed. Telling you doesn't do it justice to see the injustice, sad,sad,sad. CNN reporter questioned VA HEADCHEESE about these problems, he just looked at him like he had 3 heads and what looked to me a faked act to be up set with the current system. Really I think he could have cared less.RC

CNN has a brief rundown on the show too and some pictures-

http://turnerinfo.turner.com/newsitem.aspx...33-95b3e1a41f55

It was barely the tip of the iceberg-

I just heard from a claimant from one of my vet orgs-

She said she had submitted 3 independent med opinions to award her claim- even had a positive statement from a VA doctor---

and the VA just denied her claim again-

and told her she did not send them any medical evidence !

I think this is becoming typical of the ROs,

then again I dont know how her independent opinions complied with the VA criteria-

I cant seem to find an older post-"Getting an Independent Medical Opinion"-the post I put here that should be available under a search-

will keep looking for it- and send it to her---

Also the BVA web site has been down for 2 days-

at least I cant get there at all-

I am waiting to see if they post a response to this CNN show.
