gp747 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS SENATOR TO HELP ME AND HE HAS SO FAR. I WAS RECENTLY LOWBBALLED AT 30% AND I DONT THINK THEY CONSIDERED OR HAD ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. WHILE I WAS NON SERVICE-CONNECTED THE ONLY DOCTORS I SAW WERE TRAINEES OR P.A. ASSISTANCES. NOW I SEE A REAL PSYCHIATRIST. HOWEVER WHEN THEY REVIEWED MY CLAIM I DONT BELIEVE THEY HAD RECORDS FROM VA HOSPITAL STAYS AND DIAGNOSES. ANYWAY SENATOR WROTE ME TODAY AND SAID DEPT. VET AFFAIRS ADVISED HIM MY FILE IS WITH A SENIOR CLAIMS EXAMINER FOR REVIEW . SO HAS ANY ONE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE OR KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN??

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 22, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 22, 2008 I would expect that your claim will be reviewed and they will let your Senator know what they find out. If you get an increase due to review you will probably hear from the Senator first. In my opinion you are fortunate to have a Senator who was able to get this done for you.

yoggie2 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Nothing will happen almost all the time, he is just a median to transfer paperwork or inquire about you claim on your behalf other than that they have no real influence on your claim at ALL, NONE!. I have seen at times were they have worked on the behalf of others but very, very seldom and at times it just holds up most claims and the VA sends them a letter on how they are working so hard for you and this is what they did for you and they went out of there way(to screw you) and your Rep. or Congressman passes it along to you, its more of a big fat joke than anything...Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoggie2 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Skunk, to give you an idea how it worked out for me "writing my Senators" the VA's reply to to my denial to them was we are working on Mr.XXXX claim though he has file for an appeal he was however awarded 40% for XXXX. The 40% they claim that I was just awarded I had been 40 for the last 13 years prior so in reality I was awarded nothing it was a play on words to my Senator that they were taking care of business and just had awarded my claim.......

Southaven, MS i believe the veterans in mississippi have been short changed by varo in jackson and at one time senator wicker was investigating them i think. i am sure varo screwed me and i believe left out a lot of medical evidence in my claim . i might know more when i get my c-file i am going to investigate it fully.
