HadIt.com Elder dav_marine72 Posted October 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2009 Congrats Larry, You will kick some arse no doubt. Does this mean you are no longer 100% P&T? I thought about doing this down the road if I can ever sit again.

HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted October 4, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2009 Congrats Larry, You will kick some arse no doubt. Does this mean you are no longer 100% P&T? I thought about doing this down the road if I can ever sit again. No, I'm still 100%. This is not a "real" job, in the fact that I cannot actually "show up for work", or "put in a good day's work", or actually do the things that I did before, such as fly from Dallas to Montreal or to Newark and then drive another 3 hours to get to some little town in N.Y., nor does it mean that I can sit for two or three hours at a time behind a desk (nor does it mean that I can DEAL WITH more than ONE person at a time!). But, it is going to be something that will keep me busy doing something that I CAN do, at my OWN pace, an ideal situation actually. Of course, I'm not getting paid, either. Matter-of-fact, it will wind up costing me money for office supplies (a new laserjet printer, for example) cell phone, FAX and phone calls, postage, etc. It is something that a lot of folks, right here at HADIT, would be VERY VERY GOOD AT! I COULD start callin' y'all "out", but YOU KNOW who you are! B) "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 4, 2009 Did you get an office yet. I noticed that after Dean Reynolds passed that the VA took the office back. You have big shoes to fill Dean was a powerful Rep who laid his heart out to help Veterans. If you work for Veterans like you do on Hadit you will be a great one. I was serious about signing my POA over to you as my Rep. I also will consider volunteering to be an assistant if you need one. Since they have valet service at VA I could maybe open office for a day or two on days you don't come in. That is what they do at VVA office I am very excited that you did this and thank you very much. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

carlie Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Larry - congrats. I notice the letter states something to the effect of you may inspect the claim folder of a claimant that has provided POA to your organization and you must observe the limitations imposed by VA regulations in disclosing information to the claimant and other's. Question: What type of information might be in a claimant's file that you would be limited in discussing with that claimant ? carlie Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

Question
LarryJ
May G-d Guide Me.
And may your prayers be with me, that I will "Do The Right Thing", and, maybe, just maybe, help a fellow vet.
"It is cold and we have no blankets.
The little children are freezing to death.
My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.
I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
