Elizabeth,

Good info, hey I agree to an extent on the SO's. I know there are some good ones, unfortunately those are the ones that get swamped. I know ever vet at my Vet Outreach is using the same one. Unfortun ately he's retiring soon.

I wrote a letter yesterday to my representatives about the bill to allow Vets to use lawyers from the beginning in claims. Told them that Service Organizations located on the same floor next door to the Regional Offices (at least they are in Roanoke, Virginia) is like the fox staying in the henhouse, and even if nothing were going on wrong, it does give the appearance, with all the problems people have with claims taking over a year now, of the possibility of collusion or something going on. It may only be peoples perception, but your perception is your reality.

I know the Serv. Orgs. do represent us in front of the gov't, but there insistence on remaining separate from the other organizations does us no good. We need one consolidated group.

VSOs are co-located at ROs because the law requires VA to give them office space where available. Moving them out would be a disaster for veterans because that's where the c-files are.

Good luck getting The American Legion to merge with DAV.

Don, didn't know that but that makes sense. I've noticed in Roanoke VARO that some other rooms are opening up on that floor. I would imagine one of the drawbacks of vets going into the RO's to see the guys face to face is that fact that you have to go through security. Hell if I worked there though I would be complaining they didn't have enough.

As for the Service Organizations? Yeah, its parallel would be trying to get the Army, Marine Corps to get along. :(

Security at the ROs is an issue. I went to the quarterly meeting of VSOs and the Board of Veterans Appeals last week. There was an incident in St. Pete where a veteran was seeing an SO and the vet was told that the Veterans Law Judge who had decided against him was there doing travel board hearings. Apparently the guy went postal and tried to find the VLJ and whoop on him/her. Turns out it wasn't even the right VLJ, just one with the same last name. VSOs were asked to advise VSCMs when they think a veteran is likely to be violent, abusive, etc., so that security can be posted. I've been personally threatened by veterans I was representing at the BVA, including one 83 year old dude who said he was coming to DC to shoot me over his 1151 claim.

BTW, DAV exists because they split off from TAL in 1921, over all the non-veteran related stuff that TAL was getting involved in. Weighing in on national security, politics, etc. DAV just wanted to serve veterans.

This is bad information. Feel free to point me to the "new law."

new law all letters must be notarized under usc va must accept this as evident

I am aware of no law or reg that requires notary service to lay, buddy or other secondary evidence sources.

VA has always accepted secondary evidence as is. Assigning a notary seal would add absolutely no extra weight.

    • 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”

    • 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.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:
