While others have checked out his creditals, I haven't. I just went to militry.com and put in his name and it shows him as active.

Can you be active duty and get 10% from the VA? Perhaps the site is out dated.

I still haven't heard from him. Which is a main reason for me to be suspicious--

Betty has he responded to you other than say I got crank calls.

Has he responded to anyone regarding a claim?

Ruby,

This is his last email:

I am and I am soon to be linked to Dr Bash's site... i had to clear my business phone number because some yahoo was calling and hanging up 12x in one day

I reported his credentials to the Moderator.

Always,

Betty

you can be rated as 10% by the VA then go back on active duty but they quit paying the disability award while you are on active duty

100% SC P&T PTSD 100% CAD 10% Hypertension and A&A = SMC L, SSD

I will not place his telephone number on the site or his license number. I trust this will suffice.

I sent him an email right after his first post, and I still have not gotten a reply.

Sandy

Sandy,

Dr. Barson has been answering me with this email address.

Dennis Barson <exit4a@hotmail.com>. I believe this is different than the one on the site.

Thanks to all for the comments. I have found them very interesting.

I, for one, did not read his initial post. I came upon the threads about him after the original post had been deleted.

Ruby - I agree with you that his silence is harming him more than anything.

BTW, FTR - I'd be happy with an income in the "indecent" six figures whatever that income might be so long as it had 6 figures!! :-)

Thanks again to all - it will be interesting to see how and if he responds. I believe a request for his license numbers (thanks, Free - I'll hopefully look at what you sent after dinner) and cv is reasonable given his ability to advertise (which, in essense, is what he's doing) for free on hadit.

Thanks,

TS Snave

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      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”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
