First let me state for the record that I have a strong suspicion that VARO monitors the posts here on hadit. Recently I posted on hadit that I had discovered that VARO had received additional service records in 1966 and placed those records in my husband's claims folder 2 days after his 1966 V.A. rating examination. Within 4 days after my post on hadit my husband received a letter from VARO stating that they were unable to locate a 1966 letter notifying him of the decision. I now know enough about the presumption of regularity not to argue on appeal that he wasn't notified of the 1966 decision. Instead I sent a letter recently to VARO Oakland asking that VARO prepare a Statement of Case on new and material evidence, a 1967 V.A. examination, received during the appeal period of the 1966 rating decision and I carbon copied that letter to the Chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals. That letter mentions the service records received on a particular date and placed in the claims folder on a particular date in 1966 after the V.A. rating examination.
As the spouse of a permanently and totally disabled veteran, I am entitled to civil service preference. I recently called VARO for another civil service spouse preference letter so I could apply for a position within the census bureau. A couple of nights ago I received a phone call from someone professing to be a census employee doing the American Community Survey. I answered all the questions I was asked by phone except I refused to give the date of birth of each family member. The next day I checked out the questions for the American Community survey online and it appears someone added some extra questions about my husband into the standard questionnaire. Some of those extra questions were: What year had he last worked? Did he work last week even for one hour for profit? Was he actively looking for work? Before this there was a standard question about did he have difficulty concentrating. This may be coincidence but the timing of this conversation is very strange. I have the suspicion that this was a V.A. employee pretending to be a census employee.
