Recently, 18,000 pay statements were sent to the wrong address. Story here:

Also recently there has been a case where the court said that it was a "presumption of regularity" that once the VA claims they mailed the notice of the Veterans C and P exam, the Veteran was assumed to have received it, and the claim will be automatically denied because the Veteran failed to attend the C and P exam...no second chances, and no excuses that he didnt receive the notice. This case is here:

I wonder if it was possible that the Veteran never received the notice. Worse, why is it that the VA's word is always taken over the Veteran, considering how many lies the VA has already been caught in?

I wonder if addressing our senators and congressman about this issue could get the va to start sending registered mail in such cases. We all know that the mail carriers never loose any of our mail.

This is a DFAS issue and not the VA. It does effect some Veterans but mostly double dippers.

If it was a VA issue I would be upset about it but it is not.
