All I can say about this is God Bless Larry Scott. Look at the motto of VA watchdog keeping an eye on the VA because someone has to. Well they sure due the right thing.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but what do they mean by "expect the other shoe to drop" and "veterans are not going to like the results"????

More VA dirty underwear is coming home to roost-

there is more to be revealed-

When I was talking to Jim the other day- I mentioned I often say -"pick a scab and it will bleed"regarding investigative work-

meaning- and we all see this when we start working on our claims and our med recs-

we start picking away at the SOCS and stuff and then the med recs can reveal that we were either rated too low, or not rated at all for something we claimed-that they didnt use our evidence, and those of you with Sec 1151 and FTCA claims know what I mean-

because when we pick away at med recs sometimes we find they malpracticed-even if we really didnt know it or were not sure-before we started looking for it.

The deeper you go on something the more you find out.

There is more to come- this is worse than Data gate, almost as bad as "SHHHH" (the VA suicide fiasco), just as bad as the Perez PTSD Memo,and when those attorneys at the BVA got canned years ago- maybe worse than that mess.

Something is wrong at every level of the VA-in my opinion.

AHH! COULD IT BE THE REASON I WOUND UP PAYING $2500 OVERPAYMENT ,WHEN

I KNOW I NOTIFIED VARO MY DAUGHTER DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND THOUGHT

MY SON HAD BEEN ADDED BACK WAS THE REASON I DID SEE A CHANGE IN PAYMENTS.

DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT AND DID NOT LET ME KNOW FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS SHE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN I FOUND OUT I SENT A NOTIFICATION TO VARO .

MY SON HAD TURNED 18 BUT WAS STILL IN PUBLIC SCHOOL AND SENT IN FOR HIM TO STAY ON. WHEN I FILED EVR THEY NOTICED DAUGHTER WAS NOT ON WAS THE ONLY WAY WE CAUGHT IT SON HAD NOT BEEN ADDED . I AM SURE EVERYTHING I SENT MUST HAVE BEEN SHREDDED AT VARO. WHEN I CAUGHT SHE HAD DROPPED I KNEW I WOULD OWE SOME ,BUT $2500? SLOPPY DO NOTHING PEOPLE COST ME DEARLY
