I Am Very Angry At Va Claims..

[retiredat44]

I am extremely angry at the (%$%$### insert extreme insult there..) at the VA claims people,, I sent a form in in April asking for a Hardship case, to help speed up my claim, and gave the health reasons why I am asking for them to stop dicking around and get working on my claim.. I told them Again, and again, and again,, and in person at the dro hearing in 2010, and in my claims I am suffering from the fatal disease Necrotizing Pancreatitis, and many other conditions and diseases..

Thye just sent me a letter saying they wil not work on my case until I send them the form back telling them if my hardship request is a new claim...!

I wrote back on the forms, that it is it is Not a new claim, it is a hardship request for my claim, asking them to expedite the claim that they have had at the local VA Regional since my DRO hearing, with no decisions.. I only requested that they consider my case a hardship because of my serious health condition... and that I want my claims worked on before I die or become incapacitated ! They are so stupid there, inept, incompetent bunch in San Diego!! I am glad I went to my congressman (2 weeks ago) and filed with them a letter asking them to look into why they have not worked on my claim since my DRO hearing 2010.

I put in the first frakkin paragraph that I am requesting my claim be moved along for hardship reasons... is that too much for those idiots to comprehend? And of course there is no direct contact with anyone there..

just have to write letters, and hope the dumbest person isn't the one working my case..

also, my VSO also has a copy of my hardship request.. so it wasn't done behind anyone anyone's back...

Another thing, sort of related to my claim, This morning I went to my neurologist and they brought in another neurologist, they agreed to look deeper into my neuro problems, and scheduled a new brains can... my left side is going weak and numb.. they cannot give me more meds because of the pancreas disease.. so they are looking to see if they can find out more of those problems.. they also told me they looked at all the doctor's notes form my days as an inpatient, and the notes regarding when i was unable to hold object or walk.. so whatever they find might help with some of the claims the VA has jerked me around with...

I can't help it, if some people here work there, or think the people that work at the VA claims are good people... they have been nothing but hell in my life...

My lawyer would not accept my copy of my cfile he had to have his own copy. He sent a request for a copy. He got his copy in 10 months and started working on my claim. Having a lawyer in my case did not speed up the claim process. What it did do was make sure the t's were crossed and the i's were dotted, which is important if your case is complicated or you plan on going to the BVA with the claim because you know the RO rater does nt have the balls to rate it correctly. Therefore, in my opinion, a lawyer will not speed up your claim.

I agree with Hurryupnwait. Get the right lawyer or they will hurt you for time.

I am not looking ot speed up my claim,, I only want it done right.. whover thinks I want this sped up now, they are wrong,,, I want it done correctly...

I thought and was stupid thinking it was going ot tto be done correctly, because my first claim I won oneout of three issues without having to appeal any..

this time I wanted to move faster but whenI found out the VA was goingto ignore evidence, my priorities changed to my claim done correctly, not about speed,,

but i need to remind that I may not have time on my side,,, pancreatitis can kill me at any time.. but if it takes two more years, that's fine, as long as the lawyer makes sur emy evidence is not ignored.. and they get every single issues approved that is coming ot me...

that pretty much somes up what I mena to say... in case anyone thinks anything else..

my VSO failed..... and The lawyer, hoepfully, wil take my case, after they get my C-File, and do all the right things...

no matter how long it takes,, and my family can still get my benefits, even if I am either too sick or dead....

retired,

Again, maybe I missed the answer.

What conditions is your current 50 percent for and what evaluation for each ?

(50% for headaches from chemicals) is your answer.
