Why did the #800 person tell you that they were requesting records from St. Louis on May 30th?

or

Why would they be requesting records from NPRC on May 30th?

Well, ya see, it's like this.

1. They "lost" your records, thereby causing them to have to "request" your records again.

That means that they can screw around with you for, oh, say, another 6 months.

2. They found out that they have been using Benny Winemaker's records instead of yours.

That means that they can screw around with you for, oh, say, another 6 months.

3. All the #800 people were told that that was the "Answer For Today".

See, every morning, whoever comes in early to make the coffee is also tasked with writing on the Big Black Chalk Board, where all the kids can see it, the "Answer For Today". Then all the kids at the #800 have to keep repeating the "Answer For Today".........until tomorrow, when it will be someone else's turn to make coffee and put the Big Answer on The Big Black Board. I do NOT know who gets to "dust the erasers".....but I always thought that was a primo assignment when I was in 2nd grade.

I do so hope that I have been some help in enlightening you as to how the VA operates....... B)

"It is cold and we have no blankets.

The little children are freezing to death.

My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.

I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

The VA "lost" my DD214, but I fooled them because I had a couple of certified copies and I got them a copy. I have been SC for 37 years and they claimed no DD214. I had another copy in my C-File. They were just too lazy to look in my file.

They said they needed documents to prove my last day at work. I had the official documents to prove my last day at work. If they had had to request this stuff it would have taken years. They tried to say I had never been to Vietnam, but my DD214 said Vietnam right on the form. That is when they tried to deny my AO claim at first. They made the extra effort to deny. I was just at the VARO every week for months with documents and requests. I have a DRO Hearing July 3, 2008.

John:

There worse nightmare a Veteran who is on top of it. I have a burn proof safety deposit box in my home with all my VA records in it.

Before I did that I had a back pack I kept close to the door to take out if there was a fire and to keep them together.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

But would his records even BE at the National Record Center? Is still think it is horrid that the Record Center sends the orginals to the VA, as much as they lose things. We tried to get copies of my husband's records from the NRC - and got a response that the were in the possession of the VA.

Free,

The VA, just my opinion, are stupid.

They didn't ask for my " Psychiatric Records or my " Personnel

Records".

When I went for my first C&P, Dr. Muller ask me, " Why do I have

copies of your " Psychiatric Records" and not the " Originals".

The R.O was so sure he wouldn't locate my hidden medical

records from 1965 - 1979, they didn't bother to send for the

originals.

My Personnel Records still were never acquired by the VA until I went

to the BVA and remanded to the AMC.

The AMC lost the Personnel Records twice. I called one morning

and the Supervisor came on the telephone and told me my

Personnel Records were now lost in the Archives. I ask if she would

like for me to fax her a copy. She said, " You mean you have a copy"?

I said, sure I do.

She said they would have to be approved by the BVA to be the real

McCoy, and they were approved by the BVA. The AMC then used the copy

that I sent to them.

Things have a way of getting lost very fast.

I have had to buy a second fire proof lock box now for all

of my VA papers.

Always,

Betty

Let me get this . You are saying that if the records were previously sent to the VA that the National Records center wont have them. Sooo if the VA is requesting them they dont have them either

How could it be possible that I received a rating of 70% PTSD and 20% DMII from the VA and they dont have my military records????

This is insane!!!!

    • 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.
