Va Change Of Policy?

[broncovet]

Apparently, "Veldrina", apparently currently working at the VA, is answering Vets questions. This would be, in my opinion, a change for the better, as anything to improve communications between the Veteran and the VA would be a step in the right direction.

Here is my question for her:

I applied for benefits in 2002. Those benefits were denied. I appealed. Upon appeal, the BVA awarded my benefits.

I am in dispute of the RO implementation of the BVA decision, in part, because I am in dispute of exactly what was the "benefit sought" in 2002. I contend that certain evidence was shredded, and, as a result was never considered in the 2002 decision. I have evidence to support my contentions, with a resubmission of at least 30 documents that had been removed from my claim.

I received a phone call about 18 months ago from someone representing themselves as from the VARO. They said that my "shredded evidence" claim was not valid because the evidence shredded was OUTSIDE of the specific dates specified in Dr. Peak's fast letter, 08-41.

My question is, what happens, when Veterans evidence was shredded outside of the specified dates?

Broncovet-thanks for telling us all this.

My daughter was USAF Intell for 7 years and in mil situations that caused me great worry and concern due to her MOS.

I have no idea of what she did in Mil because it was Top Secret but I knew where they sent her and it was high anxiety for me.

But, we must all be VERY Proud when our children become adults who want to serve to protect the US of A.

I love this:

"The men respected him but asked my why he does not curse. They thought he was the only man in the Army who does not cuss."

The most cursing I ever heard from my daughter was when the VA screwed up her Chapter 35 dates right after she became a veteran.

I even asked her if she had just joined the Marine Corps! But I said Mommy will fix it for you and I prepared a NOD and mailed it to her to copy,sign and send to VA Edu. In 3 weeks they fixed it.

She could not believe the stupidity of the error they had made on her first contact with VA as a veteran.

I just said "Honey-welcome to my world!"

But get back to what you said:

"The only explanation is prayer"

Prayer can do Wonderful things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will remember your son in my prayers.

He exemplifies the Finest we have!

You gave a testament to him here that is very heartfelt and important.

Sounds like you did some great parenting too!!!!!!

OK - prayers have been sent.

Let's not start quoting bible scriptures and stuff.

Hadit.com - does not do Politics and Religion.

Let's keep the mission in mind.
