Question

Well as some here know I'm a awaiting a decision on my claim and a member I keep in contact with suggested I check on it and have my VSO check in on my claim too and see where there at with it...Well, I called my SO(VFW)a week ago and he said he'd get back with me so I called yesterday to see what was going on and this is what he dropped on me ... "well since you missed your C&P's there going a head and going to rate your claim as is, I did know you missed them (MY C&P's)?.."

This is where I freaked out on this guy (not his fault) I went to BOTH C&P'S!!!!! they are full of SH*T they are trying to skip my C&P's because they are both fully in my favor like you would not believe this is nothing more than a trick to drag my claim out another 2 years this is plane BS period. They VARO tried to screw me and got screwed and this is there way of "accidentally screwing up my claim." Then in 2 years I’ll need more C&P’s because mine are out dated. I faxed him (MY VSO the "VFW") my C&P’s to give to them that they suggested I missed and did not show up for..

This is a fine example yall, if you do not keep up with your claim “YOUR SELF” you can be screwed as easy as that! I was able to obtain a copy of my "PHSYC PTSD" exam and the only way you can get it is by request only! I requested it over 2 weeks ago and still did not receive it. How ever I was able to obtain a copy 2 weeks ago along with my "Nero Exam" and now they know I have it after yesterday and I am not suppose to so they tried to pass it off as I did not attend the exam, brother you can not relax for 1 minute you have to ride this sucker to the end and watch the VARO all the way to the end as well. My VSO called me back and the VARO wanted to thank me for the copies of the exams and they are going to rate part of my claim and send the rest back to the DRO officer, what a great bunch and very helpful that Indy VARO..Brother you go to sleep on them and you are screwed for sure..

Rich,

Same same two idiots who thought the other guy read your CO's letter must still be working your claim. If you had waited they probably would have rated it on the previous C&P's and not even mentioned that is how it was rated. Like you said they screwed themselves when they re-scheduled the C&P's because they were way more favorable than what was already in the file.

Point of order. Even without the C&P's you should be rated at least 100% TDIU

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

I'm glad to that I found a psych evaluation on my last impatient stay at my local VA, otherwise I would have gone through life thinking everyone was out to get me. Now I know it was just my problem with paranoia, so now I don't think everyone is out to get me, just the VA claims people.

I wonder everytime something like this happens if I am really paranoid, if the people who I think are after me, really are.

I've been tracking my current claim all along and I still don't know what is going on, it's here it's their, it's up for decision, no it's not, now it's been sent back to the Rater, no it's not, it's at the Tiger Team now? I have a C&P exam next month on my birthday of all days.

Thanks alot VA for letting me injoy the one day I thought I could call my own. I had hoped to spend the day pampering myself and taking in dinner and a movie and staying at a hotel that has steam in their showers and large jacuzzi like bath tubs. Now if I want the whole day and night I will have to do it on another day, since I don't want to reschedule my C&P so they can waste more time while my claim waits on the C&P report.

Glad you got things fixed relatively soon, just think where you would have been if you hadn't. Like you said, another two years, which I think was a conservatine number, given how slow it is to get a DRO for reconsideration these days. Even if it could be shown it was the VA's fault.

Are you a paranoid schizophrenic

if the ones you think are out to

get you, really are?

I was shocked really, I didn't think they had any thing more they could do to me. Yes Hoppy you are correct!, they were just going to go over they same ol'crap but write it up as I bailed on them on the C&P's can you believe that, now that takes some big cahonies. Folks the lesson here is you stay in control of your claim! you don't take a break just because you have 2 or more killer c&p's that nail them down they are still hard at work trying to preserve those bonuses even when it appears you got'um follow through and watch your claim till its finished, mistakes do happen however I don't feel that my problem is a mistake but they do happen, they know me there by name and some by face this was no accident. This is why we say and preach about being proactive in your claim...Yog

Yeahp, I too am familiar with the VARO dirty rotten tricks department. :huh: They've been denyiing things on false hoods and outright lies, falsifying my records... FINALLY! I get a DRO hearing. Goes good, he does want a couple admittedly outdated C&Ps, no problem there.

BUT!

They transferred my DRO! My file has gone back into the merrigo'round to be decided by somebody who never met me or listened to my side of the story... You know, like the folks who've been denying me these past 3-4 years! ;) I can request another DRO hearing but that'll be at least another 3 months.

C&P hearing? Yep. I had one too. My file has been flagged for finacial hardship epiditing. They only examined my feet and the report hasn't been released yet, its finished, just nott released yet- 5 weeks later. I finally get to talk to the head of the C&P dept. Patronizing, expletive deleted, so on and so forth...

I wish you better luck.

    • 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.
