Skunk...

I'm not going to bore you with details about my case, but kindly take the time to read this, just in case there are similarities.

After reading yours, I believe that we do have similarities, but I'll leave that for you...

In 1976, I was honorably discharged with a S/C in regard to a Left hip condition with a slipped Knowles pin penetrating the joint space.

I was diagnosed by a VA doctor with atrophy, Osteoarthritis, and a "Slipped Prosthesis".

A decision rendered ONLY for a 10% disability rating. When you check the codes, it shows a definite UNDER RATING!

Over the coarse of many years, I complained of not being able to cross my left leg over my right, in many different ways, but again, it was overlooked or outright ignored.

ROM is followed to the letter, but why am I having a difficult time putting on socks and shoes?

Atrophy supports my claim to the deterioration of muscle, and a pin penetrating the joint just further supports that I cannot turn the hip in a position like everyone else.

Yet, throughout the years, the DVA does not make mention of these conditions, nor am I awarded for it.

In 1980, I was diagnosed with Severe Osteoarthritis, and this time was awarded 20%.

Again...there's no mention or compensation for Atrophy or a "Slipped Prosthesis".

This was clearly ignored by doctors and adjudicators.

In 1989, I was diagnosed with a Severely deformed hip head, and finally, the DVA got off it's ass, and installed a THR.

For years, I suffered with severe osteoarthritis, a slipped pin in the joint space, and an inability to twist my leg to reach under my foot.

To date, I still cannot twist my leg and cross it over my right.

I filed a claim in 2002, and during the time it took to review, and resolve the issues, it mysteriously disappeared.

Just recently, I submitted a 17 page letter, and THIS time, I addressed everything having to do with this claim. I also voiced my disgust with the treatment, the controversial statements made in my entire file, LIES and inaccuracies told about ROM even when I could not put on socks and shoes like others can, and my right to Due Process (5th Amendment) pertaining to a "Motion to Reconsider" my 1151 claim, and my reuqest being met, or else I file a $25,000,000.00 suit!

By next month, the BVA is going to render a decision. I hope (for their sake) that it is favorable. If it isn't, I am going for the grand enchilada!!!

I also foresee this going to the US Supreme Court.

The moral of the story is...

If it takes you a week to search every single solitary piece of paper...DO IT!

You will be surprised at all you find. Find controversial statements, and make a showing that it was WRONG, and look at every issue that you presented and see the accompanying BVA decision made to see if it was addressed. If not, (as Rentalguy stated), it is still open!

Remind these jackasses of this, and constantly hound them about it!!!

Sooner or later, it will pay off for you!

Good Luck, and I look forward to seeing you post on the Success Forum on hadit! :P

thankyou skunk

keep on going through my c-file and where i filed for tinnitus remember c and p examiner was adament to get me to admit construction noises could cause deafness,

i said i suppose it could if you were put to the extreme,however i never held a job long enough to warrent that kind of speculation.

now as i go through my c-file doctors keep on mentioning concussion,which they could not find records where i was hit in the head with a chunk of metal from a lawnmower at ft bragg. docs keep on saying concussion but c and p examiner would not let me get a word in edge wise to contradict what he said . bunch of jerks.

I found a medical report in my C-File from 1973 that may win me a CUE that would be big bucks. You never know what you might find in there including some other vet's NOD that the VA claims was lost 20 years ago.
