The VA has at least a dozen UNDERHANDED ways they deny claims, please add yours to the list:
1. The Veteran never applies..they make it hard for the Veteran to even know he is eligible for benefits.
2. Shredding the Veterans claim or evidence is effective at denying.
3. Ignore the claim, or parts of the claim and secretly deny it. (We dont have record of your claim for.......)
4. Delay the claim indefinately until you die or give up.
5. "Award" you zero %, which is just a back door denial.
6. "Horn swaggle you" by asking for multiple C&P exams to doc shop and deny you by finding one doc in a dozen who will give them the opinion they want, and cite that opinion in their denial. Or, they can just send you for a C&P with a doc that they know will give them evidence to deny.
7. Issue you a letter of denial..even if you have good evidence.
8. They can deny you, then when you appeal, they can deny your appeal by "interpreting" your NOD as something else, like a claim for benefits.
9. "Farm out" your denial by sending your claim to multiple Regional offices until it gets lost. Then they can blame other RO's for loosing your claim file.
10. Even if your appeal makes it through the system, the RO has to implement the BVA or CVAC decision and they Fail to implement the appeal
11. "low balling" your claim, and then use the "fuzzy math" to pay you even less.
12. "Fake dates," for example, by saying you appealed past the one year period when you sent the NOD in and they shredded it.
