an update..

I called my dr.'s burse and she told me that the dr. hadn't ordered the meds yet due to the blood and urine work she had done not being back yet.. She told me she'd be ordering them now, and they would come via fedex due to me having to sign for them..

That is really a poor excuse for the treatment that you got.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Anyone else have any insight?

I greatly appreciate all the insight so far! Hopefully tomorrow I'll have them?! :lol:

I hate to even think about this, let alone say it... but I'm so ready to give up on the VA. I dont know if anyone reading this seen my other thread under claims, but this experience has been nothing but stress.

This isn't how the VA is meant to be. The ideology behind the VA is so great, it just doesn't happen, and it's mostly inpart because there are a lot of gumbmint (government/federal) employee's that are over paid, and/or lazy(dont feel like doing their job, I worked with quite a few while being active) undertrained.

I'm a hard charging get the *hi* done kind of guy, and this kills me sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

I'm talking to my self, but I need to talk to someone. Still no pain meds listed on myhealthevet. I'm suspecting the dr. still hasn't put them in, so it looks like I'm still SOL. This is horrible, that they feel this is ok. Even if it were overnight delivery, it wouldn't matter, I wouldn't be getting them tomorrow due to the scripts not even being put into the system yet.

So when I call tomorrow to tell them to put them in, and how unacceptable this is. Does anyone think it would be possible for the out patient clinic to put the script in, and me pick my meds up at the VAMC?

Thanks in advance.

    • 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”
