Fraudulent Claim At The Bva

Question

http://www.va.gov/vetapp01/files03/0120695.txt

I was searching for something else and read this-

"Accordingly, the Board finds that the veteran knowingly,

deliberately, and intentionally presented materially false

and fraudulent statements to the VA in support of his claims

for service connection compensation benefits, and due to such

actions, he has forfeited his rights to VA benefits (aside

from insurance benefits) under 38 U.S.C.A. § 6103(a).

If the positive and negative evidence was in approximate

equipoise, the law requires that the benefit sought be

granted, as the veteran is entitled to the benefit of the

doubt. 38 U.S.C.A. § 5107(B); 38 C.F.R. § 3.102 (2000). In

this case, however, the positive and negative evidence is not

in equipoise. Accordingly, the benefit of the doubt does not

apply.

ORDER

Forfeiture was properly declared against the veteran pursuant

to the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 6103. The appeal is

denied."

Somehow this veteran gave VA false information and statements that triggered them to investigate

him.

My postman is an MOH winner. I saw him wearing it at the Memorial and checked him out on the list of phonies (which is larger than the number of awardees). They would have awarded me one, except that, being an SP4/E4 at the time, I had to settle for a Star, like the other “swine” EM who pulled the heavy weight at the overrun camp at Nam Dong, only to see their CO walk off with the first MOH awarded in RVN.

Alex- in the decades I have known you-(20 years I think) and due to all the advocacy and legal work you have done for veterans-for years and years ------

in my mind and heart you DO have a MOH! !!!!!!!!

Lets meet someday in Washington DC and beat up some of these phonies -

Nothing gets me more than wannabees- and the wannabee widows? I could write a book on the few I know of--but they are few and far between- and the VA never gives them a dime. What a disgrace they are.

A STAR is sure something to be very proud of! Berta
