Hi all, haven't been on had a busy summer, hope this finds you all as well as can be--
Here the latest , update on my husbands claim for those who are familiar with it--
Last time I wrote they were waiting for the transcripts from the DRO tele-video hearing that was Feb 12-08:
A new SSOC dated 4/28/08 arrived :o
There are 9 issues:CHRONIC PROSTATIS,HYPERTENSION,LEG CONDITION,URINARY CONDITION.HEARING LOSS, PTSD, KNEE CONDITION, SUBCUTANEOUS LUMPS,INDIVIDUAL UNEMPLOYABILITY-
EVIDENCE THEY LISTED;
Your correspondence rec'd 3/4/08
VA letter to you 3/25/08
VA form 119 10/26/07
transcript from DRO 2/12/08
----------------------------------------------------------
ON EVERY ISSUE EXCEPT PTSD AND IU- IT SAYS YOU CHOSE NOT TO DISCUSS IT AT THIS TIME- (WE HAD AN ATTORNEY WITH US- I HAD PREVIOUSLY POST HIS ADDENDUM TO THE HEARING BACK ON THIS SITE BACK IN FEB.
FOR PTSD IT SAYS AT THE DRO HEARING YOU PROVIDED TESTIMONY REGARDING YOUR SYMPTOMS FOR PTSD AND YOUR STRESSORS AND YOUR SPOUSE ALSO PROVIDED TESTIMONY(1/2 MINUTE, WOW!) HOWEVER THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE IS INSUFFICENT
TO CONFIRM A LINK BETWEEN CURRENT SYMPOMS AND AN IN-SERVICE STRESSOR
SERVICE CONNECTION DENIED.
FOR IU--CURRENTLY YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SERICE-CONNECTED DISABILITIES THEREFORE ENTITLEMENT CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED.
THEN THEY ENCLOSED THE 60 DAY WAIVER LETTER TO BE FOWARDED TO THE BVA--
WAIT IT GETS BETTER!!! :o :o :o
I HAVE HAD THE SENATOR SPECTERS OFFICE ALSO INVOLVED AS WELL-
THIS IS THE VA REPLY TO HIS OFFICE:
07/17/08 DATE;
Dear Senator Specter:
Thank you for your correspondence of June 4/08 which was recieved at the Board on June 23 concerning MR> XXXXXXXXXXX
MR>XXX appeal was placed on the Boards docket on January 20, 2006 while under jurisdiction of the RO in Philly PA. The appeal will be certified and transferred to the Board unless it is resolved at the regional office. As required by law the Board will consider appeal in order which it was placed on the docket.
THERES MORE>>>>>
We get a letter 8/12/08
Senator Spector has expressed an interst in your appeal and will receive a copy of this letter.( I"LL shorten it all)
This acknowledges your request for a personal hearing before a traveling BVA.
We have put your name on the list of persons wishing to appear befoe the traveling section.We anticipate it won't be till 2009- or 2010- (then the however you could go within the next several months if you choose video conference blah.blah)
NEXT: I call the docket phone number where you check to see your place in line-
they tell me we don't have any -that our claim is still in Philly and hasn't been sent-
I call Philly and the clerk is confused about my questions- she gets her supervisor-
he apologizes to my husband for how long it is taking--and tells me that
they are getting ready to rate it AND WAITING FOR THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE HEARING- could take 2 weeks-or a few months FOR A DECISION
I call back in 2 weeks and they say it is still there-and be patient-(I THOUGHT IT WAS ON THE WAY TO THE BVA)
:o MY QUESTION TO HER WAS HE IS ON SS FOR PTSD- HE IS ON SS FOR HIS PROSATE-HE HAS NSC BECAUSE HE HASN'T WORKED BECAUSE OF THE TWO-
THE VA VERIFIED HIS STRESSORS- THE VA ADMITS HE HAS PTSDSINCE 03- HE HAS 3 IMOS-
THE COMP. DOC SAYS WHETHER OR NOT IT IS CLEAR-HE MET ALL CRITIERA EXCEPT FACTOR C-(THAT IS POSTED ON THIS SITE ALSO)
ONE MONTH AFTER RETURNING FROM NAM HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ANXIETY AND GIVEN LIBRIUM BACK THEN-
IN THE EVIDENCE THEY DIDN'T LIST ANYTHING BUT THE HEARING/ THERE ARE 20 OR SO IN ALL THE OLD SOCS AND NODS.........
.ALL REPLIES WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
