Va Retaliation For My

Rate this question


Berta

Question

Within hours after receipt of my evidence the AMC remanded the claim back to the BVA_ and never satiisfied the Sept remand conditions.

AGAIN my IMOS and other evidence remain unread and unacknowledged at all.Claim filed 6 YEARS ago.

I filed formal complaint but got the internal phone numbers to make waves too-

If the AMC is only a go between and remand back to the BVA what they do not work on- why are the tax payers paying salaries for the AMC raters?

I feel this was definitely retaliation for my testimony before the H VAC last week.

CBS wanted me to go on the Couric show the next night after the hearing- I wonder what the VA did to the widow and Iraq vet who were able to be on the show.

The dumb bastards- they even paid for me to go to a war college-

I will sure use those maneuver warfare tactics I learned to get this paper battle over once and for all.

They are continuing to disregard (and probably destroy) evidence!

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Do not wake a sleeping giant.

What did Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto Say When they Bombed Pearl Harbour 'We have woke the sleeping Gaint!

This is an idiom which means: Do not disturb/annoy/provoke someone powerful who was not disturbing you in the first place.

In the film 'Tora, Tora, Tora,' Isoroku Yamamoto, a Japanese admiral in World War II, says, 'I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.'

Berta,

You know what your have to do. Know this also, you are not alone :D .

Hello Berta, YOU HANG IN THERE GIRL....if it wasnt for your help with me I would have quit and been hung out to dry. You know they are playing there bluffs and its all about time. You know the games better than them and they know it. SCARED and uable to deal with you because you are not like the rest of the Veterans they push around. They must deal with the evidence sometime. BVA or COVA its got to be seen and heard eventually. I am just starting my voyage of terror with the AMC and only have about a 1/3 of your time on this one. One thing is for sure ,,,,alot of people here love you and your family is here. I agree with the others ,,,,,CBS, DR. Phil , CNN or someone needs to see this. What would Congressman Filner think , maybe its time to see how Dr. Shinseki's pulse is too. God Bless you Berta. Please remember what you always told me ......NEVER GIVE UP. C.C.

This is just not right. I am sorry the VA is treating you like this or treating anyone like this. I would also bring up your problem for you on the news if you wanted me to if I ever got on the news. I figure I have 4,5 or at most 6 years left and my family will get my VGLI insurance to live on. Because of this I also took out 3 other life insurance policies over the years.

When they messed with my family that did it for me. I know how bad I have gotten and my doctor's know. It is hard to even drink without my arm shaking while trying to put a bottle of coke or glass of water up to my mouth.

But even my C&P docs years ago, along with my local psychs and the SS psychs said I have severe mental disorders which started in the military (first treated for mental depression in military) and have been made worse with my physical problems (service connected also). I cannot pick up my daughter to hug her and I cannot bend to hug her. I spend 90 percent of my time in the house because of my problems and now my wife has been told to watch me closely.

My wife helps me dress and take a bath. She washes my hair. She takes care of all the bills and everything. Now it was her time to get something and the VA has stopped that without any official notice or reason. But I do have a lawyer working on that. Even though I had to sign the paperwork my wife got me the lawyer.

Does the VA think people will just sit by while the VA takes out their frustration on their family?

I would gladly go on CBS or any network. I have years worth of documentation I could give them and now even more documentation of what they do which viloates rules, regs and the law. But I would probably get lost in the conversation, but they could still use all the material. I doubt they want anyone with mental problems on their show.

If you get time and have someone I could contact at CBS or any other network or media let me know. PM me anytime. If this turns into a drawn out problem for me I will definitely be going to the media. Any media that will listen.

My wifes church group saw all those veterans in Texas marching and they thought about protesting my VA. I told her to wait and see what happens. I told her to give the VA a chance to straighten out their mistakes.

Has anyone ever gone to a local VA directors house and asked him or her personally about their case? I have thought about doing that also. Maybe that is what veteran's should start doing if this kind of stuff keeps happening. Maybe also start asking their family members why this person is not helping veterans and their families. Let their family know what it is like to be treated without dignity and respect. Or do a paparazzi and follow them all around and film what they do.Tit for tat.

If you do ever get on TV or in the media you should ask why they do not drug test these people. They should have random drug tests to ensure we are not being evaluated by raters on drugs (illegal or legal) or alcohol which can interfere with their decisions. The director and all of the people at the VBA should be drug and alcohol tested randomly.

I actually typed this without my wife doing it for me. I did a bunch of corrections and all so it should be readable now. I only messed up every other word and sentence. Took a long time, but I took breaks. Took a while to find spelling check also.

I told everyone I will wait to see what happens with my lawyer and the VA.

Veterans should never just fade away. They should go out as the warriors they were trained as and defending their rights, the rights of everyone in this great country and defending this great country to their last breath.

When I look at this board I see I am not alone and you are not alone either. Take care Berta.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
