Question

I filed a claim back in 2/25/2010. I went through a QTC C&P General Examination on 7/26/2010. I got a copy of the report a few months later. While I did not like the fact that what happened during the exam was not what was on the report, if that makes any sense. Now, I go into ebenefits, with their improved claim status, and it shows that QTC did not send the VA a report until April 2011. That is about 9 months after the exam!! I do have an Attorney (K&K) working this for me, but the time line just don't look right.

Papa,

It could be human error of a typo could have been made on this date of April 2011.

HOW did you get a copy of your QTC exam - in other words, who provided this copy to you ?

The VA had to send me the copy. QTC will not give a Vet a copy of the report. I can see ebenefits making a mistake on the year, but the month!!

Papa,

ebenefits says,

" A date entry in the "Date Received" column means that

the evidence requested was received, or a negative response from the provider was received" etc...

I do not think this is necessarily stating that this IS the date it was received.

I think it's the date that they ENTERED it into the system of chaos.

JMHO

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

The VA kept telling me that they had not recevied my QTC from back in Sept I tried the 800 number the RO and the VSO in the RO but when I went to my local VSO he called a buddy of his at the RO who was a superviser and my results where right there just never been printed out and put with my claim and that happened the end of Nov.

I had a QTC C&P exam earlier this year and the Houston RO kept telling me that QTC had not provided a copy of the exam report. I called the QTC office here in town and they told me that a copy had been electronically provided to Houston RO. To make a long story short many months later the Houston RO still maintains that "they" the RO needs to load the QTC exam report into the system. So I wait and wait for them to load up an exam report that has been there at the RO for months. The holiday season only adds to the wait.

    • 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.
