The VA calls one of my claims the Bonny claim (re: Bonny V Principi)
It is a legal issue and not a claims matter-but it regards retro benefits.
I have waited for over three years for them up there at the RO to send it to the OGC-it cannot be decided at the RO.
I got so disgusted when they mixed it up with something else last month- in their letter to me- that I sent it to General Counsel myself. why not- they have 5 other claims of mine they are farting around with-as the years go by -
so why not----
well General Counsel just informed that my claim is within their jurisdiction.
Duh- the VARO should have realized that years ago-it is not RO jurisdiction
OGC will either render a denial
or a Precedential opinion and that is what I want.
Waiting three years and I have to do the VAROs work again- I am getting sick and tired of that-
The Pres op -if it happens- would benefit all surviving spouses of 1151s prior to Bonny V Principi and not just me.
I assure you all I will go toe to toe with VA Gen Counsel in Washington on this if I have to.
That is how VA regs and laws can sometimes be changed.By taking a Firm stand.
