Done wit this Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Berta, No they have not Acknowledged the request but I have claims pending claims means more then one right ? and I only have one other thats the Hearing thing. Ms K our VARO Vet Ser Cent Manager would not acknowledge the Recon directly but used the phrase claims Pending. Would the man replaced be G.G. or someone else?

Berta Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 G.G. might be in the crapper by now- he really messed up my claim- the new director is James D. McDonough , a retired Colonel- and the NYSDVA web site is still in process of being updated so maybe some more changes coming--- Here is the Govs press release- not a word about George BAsher: http://www.ny.gov/governor/press/1112071.html they need someone like this guy to kick some butt there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeKnox Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Berta, your post got my attention because McDonough is the former director of the DOC in FL. He's a straight arrow through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roivett Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 From advice I had received from these forums I went to SSA and requested my SSA records. I needed to go twice, but they were freiendy enough. They arrived on a CD a few days ago. Much of it was just "busy forms" but there was also a medical form used to make their determination called the "Psychiatric Review Thecnique" that had good information that can be used in my request for reconsideration. It contained a "consultant's note" citing a C&P concluded in August 2007. The note read: The C&P examiner reports that cl (client) is 'unemployable', which is an official designation at the VA & will correspond with very high degrees of SC disability in most cases". The significance of that referrence is that the VA rater seemed to ignore the C&P examiner when they rated me in September 2007. The note went on to conclude : "lengthy diary- little if any prospect of improvement regardless at this point". I have requested a reconsideration already and this week will ask that this "new information" be added to the paperwork I already sent. Wish me luck.

Ron II Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Roivett, Good luck with the reconsideration. I look forward to learning how this works out for you. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
