If the narcotics are in the system you should see them I see mine. I think if you can you need to go to VAMC and get it straightened out. For some reason when the VA Pharmacy screws up nothing works like you think it should and they do nothing. I have been without Losartin for 3 weeks and no reliefe in sight. They did give me a tracking number that says Post Office delivered it to my house but I have told my Doc, the Pharmacy and my care worker for Health Buddy and still no medicine.

Meanwhile my blood pressure has risen to stage 2 and keeps going up. I told my wife to be sure and sue the bastards if anything happens to me.

Would it be possible for me to go down to the VAMC and pick then up, instead of waiting on them in the mail? The VAMC is only about an hour away, and the out patien clinic is about a half hour.

Go to the ER see a DOc and get the prescription filled at the clinic. Good Luck

Well, I just called the dispensing pharmacy for the two meds listed.. They told me the pain medicines aren't even in their system.. :lol: . I'm now hitting the withdrawl symptoms pretty bad, and I can't even call the dr. that was giving them to me before now, since I signed that narcotic contract.

I just dont know if heading down to the VA pharmacy is going to help either.. Right now I'm at the point of irritability, and feeling like not even moving..

Outside of seeing a private Doc going to ER is the only way you will get help now.

    • VA Disability Claims: 5 Game-Changing Precedential Decisions You Need to Know

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      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.

      Tbird,

    • Are all military medical records on file at the VA?

      RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,

      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

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      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”
