Feres Doctrine and IOM Meeting in Texas

(from Kelley -please note all that he just corrected this to CBS -not ABC but Colonel Dans info is starting to go out via emails on ABC )

"Barbara Cragnotti informs me that on ABC news this evening there will more information on the Feres Doctrine. I would assume on how that protects the DOD from doing about what ever it wants to do with no recourse for the Veterans/Widows…VA belongs in that category also as Veterans cannot hold them accountable for anything even at individual level.

Several E-mails have come in on the IOM Public Meeting to review the health effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposures to herbicides and if I was attending.

This information is as follows:

The Committee to Review the Health Effects

in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides

I will not be attending due to lack of funds but primarily I see no sense in arguing/debating with a wall. Without documented process and levels of evidentiary evidence that is required or what level of measurable criteria either they think is assigned by their contract or their own self-imposed requirements then any information/argument provide against a subjective processes becomes a moot point and a waste of an argument/time/resources which many of us do not have in order to compete with VA/IOM.

Until Congress establishes the level of certainty that they want and then mandate with audits to both VA and IOM then we are just spitting in the wind and tugging on the cape of those that not only have an entirely different agenda but also a conflict of interest in outcomes. Sometimes science and integrity are not on the same level.

With that said, I hope that anyone local will attend and gather up any data and send it to me or some of our folks fighting these presumptive issues, which should be concluded as presumptive persistent damaging processes; not individual single ICD outcomes that must correlate with some dose response for all victims.

The information might come out on Parkinson’s while I am gone but it looks like that is going to be a go as an associated disorder with congressional action.

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Tomorrow, on the house floor, the Carmello Rodriguez Military Medical Malpractice and Injustice Act will be presented. This will be an act about the Feres Doctrine.

Feres doctrine is the worse thing that could happen to any military person.

Excerpt from the 'Declaration of Independence'

 

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity

This is truly a disgrace to all of the agencies involved,and you know as well as i do he is not the only individual whom has been through this process of misdiagnose and treatment.As usual the wonderful powers that be attempt to find a scape goat or a way out but i do not think they can squirm out of this one.And the only reason why this came to light because he was on Dawson Creek with KatieHolmes. And i pray for his Family this should not have happened. This was posted over a month ago on CBS

To treat a marine with such disrespect and neglect is awful. Everyone should have to see that file up close. They need to see the poor guy in the awful shape he was in before he died. He was not shot by a terrorist. He was murdered by military doctors.

    • 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 – 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”
