Veterans Medical Claims denied to reduce backlog numbers.

Folks I have no words to describe my disgust tonight at this; although we have known this has gone on for decades now.

While the VA pompous assholes tell congress what a great job they are doing in getting claims down.

Veterans have to fight congress, the IOM, the DoD, and the VA and their contractors and are given little if any tools to do so in any forum.

I wonder how many of those serving now realize the worst enemy is not the one in front of them but our own government and its politicians that let this go on decade after decade. Maybe while they are home for break we all ought to pay them a visit and tell them to their face this is no longer acceptable and that they are now held accountable as lawmakers.

20 more years of deceit to document on this as I get time and get ready.

If you read the article the va didn't have anythign to do with this.. get mad yes.. but get mad at the right people!

If you read the article the va didn't have anything to do with this..

No, they just hand picked an outfit to do it for them. How many bonuses paid for this?

During a robbery, is the one standing by the door more innocent than the one holding the gun on the bank teller?

Is anyone here really surprised by this? Sadly, probably not.

This is why current active duty Veterans should be made aware of the challenges they will face when they separate or retire from the services.

They have no idea of the many, many, problems that are to come, especially for those who don't keep copies of all their SMR while in service since the government has a way of "losing" them.

Get real.... Your robbery example does not apply

That is like saying guilt by association..

Now if you hire someone to cut your grass and it is not done right, and then your spouse gets on your case... what would you say then...

Some people are just looking for reasons to find fault with the va....

This is called taking he easy way out. Even a well shaped turd can be passed off a baby ruth bar.It looks the same. The difference is inside of it and we all know, as long as they convince congress they are making strides then congress will get off their backs.

This isn't the first time and I doubt it will be the last DVA or their contractors will be in the news for this unless CONGRESS throws some of you in jail for it by passing protection laws for Vets.

You might be right. I just should not trust & beleave these lyin eyes.

That is like saying guilt by association..

I want to add that I do not have proof, and this is just an opinion. But all these bonuses for denying our claims is one incentive the DVA offers to these bandits.

It's a do what ever you want, we're not responcible for your actions situation again.

So yes in my opinion, they are guilty by association and should be investigated for it. It's been going on with QVC before this.

Your probably a VA rater/NSO teac, by the way your always getting butt hurt over any accusations against the DVA.

I for one am glad your on this board. You provide alot of help to us. But you got to know by now, I nor anyone else have to look very hard to find DVA's hands to be dirty.

Best thing that could happen for all, is the DVA to clean up their act and quit stealing from US Veterans, their widows and children and calling it a fair claims process.

Robbery? well theres no gun involved so i'll give you that one. Guilty by association? Lets see what comes out of the investagation the next administration conducts. My money is on it being political.

Teac, I know for a fact these denials happen at the VA level and I hold VA memorandums in my hands that prove it, 2 of them. Tell it to someone who don't know you. The VA fed me a line a crap all 2007 "Uh yes Mr. rich we just waiting on the medical evidence from your private doctors" this for the last 6 months before i found this board in july 07. I had taken in this evidence and went through channels to have the doctors send it in Just to receive my C-file and found that the VA all ready had the evidence, and the INDY VARO never even had my Claims file in a memo from Bay Pines Fl Oct 07?? and in NOV 07 the VARO went right to work in another MEMO date in 24 Nov 07 the VA said I had no varifiable stressor, and went on to state they checked my VA medical records and my private medical records and I had no Purple heart and infantry badge and that was IT.... No mention of my commanders statement my own statement or our company's records of constant combat with dates and locations,,,,shit man they had a denial ready before i had my C&P's and these memos are solid..and to top it off the VA send me to a Mental Health eval to rule out PTSD on a non PTSD eval, I say to cover my bases wouldn't you, probably not. Long and short of it by the time the VARO got my claims file I had denials in 4 months C&P's and all at just about BONUS time.
