Question

Hello All Hope All Is Well.

If this doesn't pop your bubble I don't know what will.

Some of you are aware of my situation and the East Orange VA Medical Center.In my attempts to resolve falsified documentation and progress notes.

After contacting nearly every Various Agency regarding these concerns,only to be redirected back to this Facility to Include especially SECRETARY SHINSEKIS OFFICE and his wonderful,courtesy,professional STAFF whom never responded to my letter to date.A secretary placed a call to OIG, who called me on Friday and accused me of bodily harm to the director of this facility imagine that.Now mind you I have bad legs spinal injury and 50 years old and high school was over 35 years ago.The arrogance of this guy who spoke to me was like a street punk no professionalism at all,I did explain to him that I will never NEVER return to this Facility in this life time.And I asked him for his supervisors name and number and i will be contacting him on the behavior of this representative of Office of Inspector General.

Needless to say i called today to speak to the Secretary Shinsekis Secretary to explain what has transpired on Friday,Only to be scolded by this individual and threatened me with law enforcement action.Sure as the sun will rise OIG was at my door giving me a WARNING not ot contact any Various Agency till further notice.

AND YET I WHOM SERVED BACK IN THE SEEVENTIES THE ARROGANCE OF THIS WASHINGTON DC PEN PUSHER SHOULD BE SO ASHAMED OF HERSELF TO BE A REPRESENTATIVE WHOM ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN PLACE TO ASSIST VETERANS WITH ISSUES.

At this point these individuals whom live off the TAX PAYERS should go and pick up a weapon and serve before they know what the heck they are involved with half of these pen pushers are not veterans.

All I can say Is I am ashamed to be an AMERICAN CITIZEN AND A VETERAN WHOM SERVED PROUDLY TO be BELITTLED BY THESE ASSHOLES.

SHAME ON YOU ERIC SHINSEKI AND YOUR ILLICIT STAFF.Take responsibility for your endeavors

Mcafee,

I would be careful about publicly saying to pick up a weapon, unless the weapon is VA law. My dealings with the VAoig were good as far as I know.

If they would tell me that evidence was missing, then I would just say, "Here is another copy I have 10 reserve copies". When you turn in a copy at the VA get all the copies time stamped.

About a week ago, I was sent approval for 6 fee basis chiropractic treatments. I had to fight for it. This is an attempt to cut back on medications, for me. My VA neuro prac., now says that it could be dangerous. Maybe I am just desperate for relief, but I do respect and trust this neuro doctors statement.

I was SC for low back at 20% after the VA already approved the Chiro visits.

Thanks Carlie....

Excerpt from the 'Declaration of Independence'

 

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity

Hello All Hope All Is Well.

Don't misunderstand me STRETCH however when a comment or sentance is taken out of context this creates a new issue such as your comment and iam not looking to create an issue however this responce from you has done so in my opinion. and i will leave it at that.

Now Iam awaiting aresponce from the medical Center as to RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR FEE BASED CARE.

AS FOR MY POC AT THIS fACILITY SHE WAS UNAWARE OF THE VISIT I HAD RECIEVED FROM OIG Crimnial Investigations. OR SO SHE SAYS?mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sorry dont believe it. I do appreciate all concerns and input all of you have provided in the past and in the present.

I Thank all or you and wish all of you and your Families a very special Holiday.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
