Don as a follow up to our other point about the Service Organizations, at least on paper in public the Amer. Leg. has joined the DAV in it's stance on the SSDI front. Just saw this. I'm sure most of it's a political front, but sometimes dirty dogs lie down together. :(

I saw that on the Legion web site.

That's why it took National Executive Committee approval. The Legion goes their own way 99.9% of the time. Another big exception was when TAL joined with 8 other VSOs on the VHA mandatory funding issue. I believe it's called The Partnership for Veterans Health Care Budget Reform. When I was with TAL, we signed joint letters at the risk of losing sustantially gainful employment.

here is no reg I know of but I always recommend that "buddies" get their signatures notarized . Also I mentioned here before that if the buudy gets comp due to the same incident that the vet is asking for comp for- they should mention that too- if they feel comfortable-to the VA in the statement.

I got email from a vet I helped and he won his award due to a detailed buudy statement that was notarized and the buddy told VA his C file number and that he is 100% PTSD for this same stressful incident that did not involve a combat decoration on his DD 214. The "buddy" gave more details than the vet could remember and they were able to confirm the stressor.

Also I advise the buddy give their email addy or phone number- I know sometimes they can be called by VA or NARA but that is unusual.

I recommend notarized statements only because I have been asked (I am a civilian) to write buddy statement for vets-in 20 years it has only happened 2 or 3 times and I think it is a disgrace that a vet would even ask me to do this, to pretend I was in the boonies or aboard ship with them 30 years ago.

If a vet finds a buddy to write a statement I feel a notarized statement looks better and more legit to the VA for that reason. No reg I know of.

>because that's where the c-files are.

I've had several NSO's located at the RO. Only one ever bothered to view my entire c-file. That was the DAV back in the 90's. After finding more medical issues in the C-file, the SO told the VA rating officer, he wanted to file additional claims. Wow! that was 10 yrs ago. Thats the way it should work. I had another SO for four yrs, that never looked at my records or new anything about my claim & he was right there at the same RO.. He eventually said it was another NSO's claim. The SO I have now has never seen my file either, since it's been with the BVA for several yrs. But, he's always taken the time to find out where it's at & whats going on with it & actually "followup with a return contact by phone or in a letter.

If you need an SO to assist you & have neurological or spinal issues, the PVA is who I would recommend. I also got some good & some bad assistance through the DAV. Service officers very in expertise & experience. If their not helping you, move on.

No reg I know of.I disagree with you buddies are no easy to find a family member or people who knew of veterans issue can write va a statment stating they knew of the issue do not add any medical information va will not accept that these letters must be notarized check this out in evedence ELIZABETH

    • 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:
