Question
Capt.
I have been waiting patiently since Feb for my claims for PN, IBD, Hypertension and several more with Chemical contamination , supporting test and doctors nexis including possible nuclear exposure from the entombed reactor at Fort Greely. Below is some of the letter I got in my stocking today.This letter is from the VARO in Houston informing me of their transferring my entire Cfile to Jackson Mississppi and they said it will take many many months now.
Dear me,
We are writing in connection with the claim that you filed Feb 2007,however we need to notify you of our action. The Dept of Veterans Affairs is centralizing the processing of all benefits claims related to a veterans exposure to radiation while in the military service to the VA regional Office in Jackson , Miss. This is being done in order to provide better service to this special category of claimants.
Because you have filed a claim based on radiation exposure , your calims folder as been transferred to tthe Jackson Regional Office. Following completion to the radiation claim your folder will be returned to the previous office. If you have other claims pending in addition to your radiation claim , the Jackson Regional Office will also handle those claims.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
You may also submit statements from the individuals having knowledge of your claijmed condition. THese individuals should tell us what they observed of your condition, including the approximate dates, places, and circumstances. They should clearly state whether they actually witnessed the event leading to your condition. If they were in service with you, they should include name, rank, and unit of assignment. All statements must have the following certification: I hereby certify that this information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
It thens list the address and below in the last paragraph....Because of the research required to determine a veterans level of exposure to radiation while in service, these types of claims often take MANY MONTHS to process. Please be assured we are doing all we can to resolve your claim as quickly as possible. We appreciate your continued patience............
Oh yes they are still going to send a copy to the recently fired DAV , as I have changed POA with another VSO and they have acknowledged that on the phone but not in this letter. I also am getting ready to file 2-3 more claims in the next 30 days.
HAS anyone else had to deal with this radiation exposure >???? I have a letter from IMO telling of the link of my IBD and exposure to radiation as the cause. By the Army's own messup the reactor dumped waste into the creek, and then into the ground water and finally the reactor got away from them the year I left and they had to entomb it in 1973 and can not touch the casing until 2030 AD. Ok , so what do I do ???FIle the new claims for COPD, Arteroscherosis, and Dry Eyes, which I just have the new test results and diagnosis. Provisional COPD ruling has me at 30 percent from the schedular. I am also considered a FTCA law suit so does anyone know of a good lawyer that wants my case.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. God Bless, CC
