Once The Bva Denies?

[MikeR]

Since I was told that the AMC denied me I am betting that Board won't overturn them. Can someone recommend a good attorney, and run by the numbers for a CAVC battle?

Here's a link for some of the Court proceedings

Ken Carpenter has been involved with for VA Claims.

I'd recommend Robert Chisholm, out of Providence, RI. Alex, always recommended him. If you file w/the court, you'll get a number of attys contacting you, looking for your business. CAVC cases take around 2-3 yrs and if you win the case is usually remanded. jmo

I wanted to thank you guys for your help. Should I file a Depression claim as well?

Mike, your assumption is true for the most part, but not always. Why don't you wait until you get a copy of the SSOC, review it, then file your Notice of Disagreement, and send it to both the AMC and the Board. In my husband's AMC decision, we found many holes in their argument and cases of their not following their own regulations, and we cited each violation, as well as the fact that they didn't list or discuss, or listed but did not discuss, all the evidence we submitted. That was last November; the VA told us through the IRIS system, after we inquired in early May of this year, that a decision had been reached (we assume by the Board), but haven't received it yet. We don't know what is causing the delay, but we have a tendency to think that if it were bad news, they would have already told us. So we asked for Congressional assistance in persuading the VA to contact us with this information before too much more time goes by.

As for attorneys, ours is currently handling several appeals before the Court and one before the Board (different than the one discussed above). They normally pick up vet appeals once they reach the Court level, but will stick with the appeal if the Court remands it back to the Board. If you're interested in his name and contact information, e-mail me.

Well I tell you I got then ssoc today and just reading it twice I can see that it is a very poorly thought out and factually inaccurate document that picks and chooses it statements out of context. I am going to pursue a forensic pysch appoint per Josephine's advice, and I am going to consult with my Surgeon regarding my ankle. I will provide them with 2 additional IMO's.

If I had turned in as weak a document as this to my boss, I would laughed out of his office. The dates for the c&p exams alone are wrong. I was made, then I was laughing.
