Question
Josephine
In May I changed my POA, mailed the correct form to the Huntington
DAV. I just found out now almost three months have passed and the R.O
lost the papers.
I faxed this Case worker another copy and here are his replies to my
claims.
Did he tell me anything or just being his usual smart ass self?
I have no ideal if the Certified Copy of my last 5 years of
employment from Social Security will be any benefit to my TDIU Claim.
I have not worked since 1983 and it seems that it is not my fault the
VA didn't secure my medical records to receive benefits years back.
Sure they paid me 16 years retro, but feel that I am on the short end
of the stick.
How can you keep proving a claim that is so darn many years old.
Here is his reply about my claims.
In reply to your last inquiry, we provide the following responses:
1) We have received and filed the VA Form 21-22, Appointment of Veterans Service Organization as Claimants Representative you recently submitted.
2) The expected time to complete your claims depends on many factors such as the timeliness of obtaining evidence, the current workload of our offices and mandatory periods of time required by law to allow not only the Government to gather evidence but yourself to submit evidence. We are trying to decide your claim as quickly as possible. We appreciate your help.
3) There is no reasonable need to explicate details of our policies, procedures, regulations, codes, methods and/or systems used in making decisions related to Dependency. However, we can say that due to the nature of Dependency claims, they may sometimes be completed without a Ratings Board Decision.
4) As for the Unemployability issue, you may submit a copy of your certified work history from the Social Security Administration if you feel this evidence will support your claim. As with any claim, you may submit any evidence in support.
Thank you for contacting us. If you have questions or need additional help with the information in our reply, please respond to this message or see our other contact information below.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph R. Beaudoin
