Question

I have had a case against the VA for 6 Years. I have multiple sclerosis and many other problems associated with it. I am looking for a Doctor that will do and imo on me. I am hoping someone will know of a good one. I live in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Berta,

Were you able to make any of the other wording out about the eye condition in my medical record that i posted. I sure haven't been able to.

US CAVC -The United States Court of Veterans Appeals- this is one avenue of appeal that veterans have if the BVA denies their claim.

The CAVC decisions that reverse the BVA are often few and far between but they can be done.

A lawyer was referred to me- by NVLSP I think- as to his first CAVC case.

I assessed the case and found 2 BVA errors that hopefully would cause the CAVC to remand and sent him my assessment on that-

He then also contacted me as these were the 2 errors he found as well-

-he got the CAVC to remand the claim.

I was as honest with this lawyer as I could be as he was new to the VAOLA legal crap-and getting up to speed.

The veteran's claim in my opinion did not stand a chance.

It involved AO (my area of expertise) but also something that involved my personal pilot school experience as a civilian.

I told him this claim sure couldnt sound kosher to any BVA or CAVC judge if they had any experience with either AO or flight.

But the remand could possibly open the door for the vet to provide more evidence that might support the claim.

(I dont have a clue as to how the vet could do that- he was locked into the exact wording of his claim and his evidence)

My long point here is three fold-

1.once at CAVC no more evidence can be offered (unless lost SMRs critical to the claim suddenly show up)

2. Only a remand could potentially allow a veteran or widow vet to establish more evidence.

3. The main purpose of the CAVC is to determine of the BVA made Legal errors that were so signifcant a remand was in order - or in rare cases the CAVC would go ahead and award the claim.

4. CAVC denials can be appealed to the Fed Courts. All of that however can take many years.

No-have you tried to blow it up large on your PC?

Have you tried to read it by using a mirror?

Do you know anyone who might have been a Cryptologist for the Mil or in a private setting?

I sure dont see the key word 'neuritis' appearing there.

My IMO cost me 800 bucks. Dr. Bash has become a money hog and in my opinoin he's starting to take advantage of Veteran's dire situations.

My advice would be to explore around your local area or nearest city and see what's there. I can guarantee if you find one that will do it.

jerr

My IMO was $1,600

and consider it well spent.. so I must say, anything less is a bargain..

---

what bothers me is that my father, while was very sick, got 100% was a heavy cig smoker.. and never spent a day of his life in a doctors office until he file and when he died.. He got 100% no questiions asked,,

I did not smoke or drink, and spent 6 months in the hospital and the VA refused my claim to go from 50 to 100%

There is no justice..

I have an appeal pending..

I know how you feel. I have been working on my claim for six years. Part of it is my fault, because i didn't keep up on my claim, but they will keep the claim in limbo as long as they can. I am hoping, after i get the imo done they will finally grant my claim.

Good Luck

Hey Stitcher,

Have you tried to get an IMO from some of the private practice specialist that you have seen for you condition? When I needed one for my back, I ask my nerosurgeon. He was glad to do it and didn't charge a cent. In fact he dictated it using the form I gave that I had gotten from Hadit, as a guide, while I was in his office for a checkup. The IMO was excellent and was a major piece of the puzzle in winning my case.

Blackbird, would you be so kind to direct me to the form you got from "Hadit" concerning what your nerosurgeon used to dictate your case?

Thaks....

Sticher, have you tried asking any of the specialists or doctors you see to provide you with an IMO? Maybe I lucked out, but my private health care doctor gave me one free of charge for my knee. And I had two chiropractors write IMOs free of charge to support my back secondary to my knees. One chiropractor told me he would do it but it would cost 500$ or more depeding on the time involved so I didn't use him.

The key for me was I made an example IMO letter and explained how important the format was to follow. I also brought in my service records incase they wanted to review them.

Six years is a long time to be working on a claim. I wish you the best in getting a good IMO and hope you reach a conclusion to your claims sometime soon.
