Carla, I did and chose not to have a new hearing, w/the new judge. I was denied. Maybe I should have had a new hearing but who knows what the turnout would've been. I know my first judge was very fair and did award me ten yrs retro but the evidence was there. I'd estimate it took 12-18 months. I'd guess it would take at least another year to get another hearing. I don't believe you are moved to the front of the line.

They told me yesterday my case is with a BVA judge.

She said it might take 3-4 months for decision but it is on his desk and he did receive my fax.

I never asked for a personal VARO hearing because I cannot take the time at a hearing to teach them how to read.

The BVA people are lawyers-they definitely know how to read.

I could tell from my remand that they read my evidence (some of it) quite well and remanded it due to fact I knocked down the first medical opinion they got already so they attempted to get another one with the remand - I just knocked that one to the curb too last month.

The BVA realised as my remand shows that I am, no dummy and that obviously I proved malpractice myself without a lawyer and without an IMO in my past claims.

All of my lay medical assessments are probative and supported by my IMOs from real doctors.

And I repeat this statement to make sure they get it-

The VA admitted they could not diagnose and treat my husband's significant heart disease, and multiple strokes, and made 3 critical medical errors and I proved myself that they did this and that he had these conditions.

Therefore it is more then likely those quacks could not properly diagnose the true etiology of those 1151 FTCA conditions-diabetes mellitus.

My 3 IMOs agreed with me and I just paid 1750 to see what a cardio IMO doctor will say.

That for me would be easier than getting any hearing-

decades of my frustration with this idiotic claims system would pour out of me, as well as the anger knowing that they admitted to killing my husband.

I feel that it is th Medical evidence itself that makes a claim succeed- hearings can help but then again they can hurt too-

I could end up at a hearing with someone who really wanted to address my evidence properly but my emotions could get the best of me and I might get kicked out.

Besides too many vets die waiting for hearing dates-

I heard yesterday at 6 AM on CNN that VA claims they saved 11 million or billion by stopping their 'conferences' and the expense of all that.

I have no idea if they stopped the video conferences and video BVA hearings-

or what conferences they meant-

Sometimes we just have to put faith into our evidence and wait to see what they decide.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

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

Berta,

I believe they were talking about the conferences in warm sunny environs where they were going to work out how to fix things and or the conferences that they release thier performance reports that show they are getting the job done for veterans.

Best regards,

Tyler

    • 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.
