If your writing in your claims to the VA resembles your posting here then you are in trouble. If your claim is still open then you should pursue it. You don't need your VSO to do that. Try to speak English when you post. It is hard to understand what the heck you are saying.

Yes, I can see that you would have a problem.

Please take this the way that I intend it and do not become upset.

You do have a slight "communication problem" and that you do admit.

You attempted to "did it all myself wrote and all" and that may very well be where your "problem" lies.

I would imagine that, when you got to your DRO hearing, that it was, well, a "disaster" of monumental proportions", wasn't it?

Okay, here is what I would recommend that you do:

You go to the Service Organization that is your Power Of Attorney, the Service Organization that is supposedly "handling your claim" at this time. You sit down with a Veterans Service Officer and you talk with them, and you explain that you attempted to "did it all myself wrote and all" and that you apparently really screwed up, even to the point of having your VSO that was supposed to be representing you, "quit". Forget about this deal as to whether or not she could simply quit, because, obviously, she did and that is now "water under the bridge" and not worth bringing up again. Okay?

So, then you ask, very politely, if they can help you "unscrew" what you apparently "screwed up".

Okay?

Then, after you have this "sit down" with the Service Organization, let us know how that turned out. Okay?

That is, at this time, the very best advice that I, personally, can give to you.

The little children are freezing to death.

My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.

I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.

From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

And, John, here I must respectfully disagree. In this veteran's specific instance I feel very strongly that they DO, indeed, NEED a VSO, for the very reason that you so accurately pointed out.

I suggest you go to your state department ov veterans affairs. Take everything with you. Let them help you go over it and explain your options

Many folks here have been absoultely screwed over by a VSO so the trusting factors we originally had are completely gone and many will never use one again.

You are in a Predicament as you have issues that effect your delivery of grammer.

One big help is the computer Voice assistance. If you can, try to check into it as it can help ypu. Yopu may also want to run a spelling and grammer check on everything you write.

If this doesnt work, shoot me a PM and I will assist you. Every Veteran deserves what they are entitled to and if you have a CUE, I would want to see it.

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

I thought Yulooking was trying to ask if he had a case agaisnt his VSO because they screwed him up. Yes, he needs help in the form of a VSO or a lawyer. I was telling him if he did not like his VSO then he did not actually need one to work his claim. If I can misunderstand him I can imagine what the VA did with his claim. I think if he wants to do a CUE he needs the most expert help he can get.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • 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”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
