I Won 100% Sc Back To 1995

Question

got a call from my atty today...he said that i won 100%sc p&t back to 1995 with retro of 352,000.00...

i just got 50% back in janurary for bipolar....but the DRO lied about the effective date i.e...the director of the st pete varo sent 2 letters to my congressmen rep and senator stating that i was inappeal...the dro ignored that and just gave me back to the date of those letters....also my 50% award was based on inpatient clinical records spanning the last 55 days of service which i spent in a psych ward.....

with that said...i've been calling and writing everyone i could think of....the Secretary, the Congressmen, the VAOIG, the VAOGC...the press....i've called the Secretary everyday since the janurary award complaining about the VA lying to congress and how that is a crime under title 18, chapter 47, sec. 1001....i'd gone to the US attorney and the FBI, requesting that charges be filed...and then out of the blue....they called my atty...and I won back to my original claim in 1995 under 38 cfr 3.156© ...

haven't rec'd the money yet...but the atty assures me that it should be forthcoming by 04/09/

I won I won I won....dancing around nakedly...

after the atty's 30 pieces of silver i'll get in the neighborhood of 290,000.00 (that oughtta cover a house, a new motorcycle, several "escorts", and a new car) that's a joke mostly....i am planning on buying a house because as a 100%sc p&t vet i'm tax exempt as far as property taxes go, and i've been homeless on and off since service...i want a motorcyle, I plan on buying a used one...and i need a new car, because my current one is a jalopy...

I haven't rec'd the money yet...but the atty assures me that it should be forthcoming by 04/09

I'm still kind of in shock...I WON a 15 year battle with them SOB's...I won...holy cow batman...

First of all congrats. But, most of all you give other vets hope that they can succeed.

its not exactly like winning the lottery...because people don't get as emotionally involved in playing the lottery as i did in asserting my claim...I mean to say that i've made myself a wreak worrying...often homeless and delusional...alone...hospitalized over 30 times...sleeping in my car, being rousted by the police...not always having enough to eat...all because of some low level beauacrat couldn't or wouldn't do the right thing...i can't begin to explain how crazy i've been since the lastest decision which granted me 50% SC...because the VA lied to congress...a crime...and the fact that there is no accountability for the VA's bad behavior...

anyway...i've still got half of the retro i rec'd in feburary...so there won't be any wild spending spree's...aside from the house, car, bike...

I'm bright, and did an awesome amount of research of the CFR's, BVA, and CAVC decisons...but with all due respect i got my start on this board...I'd like to hellp other veterans...in their journey navigating the VA...i'd appreciate some ideas as to how i can help?

thank you all for your support and advice....

So i got an award for bipolar disorder in Jan of this year, rated at 50%. So i hired a lawyer, and started writing to everyone i could think of. My congressmen (because the VA lied to them in feb 09 regarding the status of my appeal), the Secretary of VA, the office of General Counsel, The office of the inspector general.

I have been calling/faxing the Sec VA DAILY asking why I haven't heard of arrests regarding the criminal activity purpetrated by the VA?

I also went the the US attorney's ofice and the FBI requesting that they arrest the criminals that lied to congress...

So today i get a call from my lawyer, stating that he has been notified by the RO that they are granting me 100%sc P&T back to 1995, ...which is when i actually filed my first claim (but they'd never pulled in my clinical records from the service until oct 09)...

that i was going to receive 352,000.00 in retro by 04/09....

Now we didn't file the NOD until last week...

anyone ever heard of a situation like this?
