7 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was 9 years out of service, however, there where 3 other men from my Team of 40 with the same afliction. One has since passed. I filed my claim in March of 07.
It was denied 6 months later. I apealed and it was again denied. I filed suit in the court of veterans appeals and it was remanded with specific instructions to have me undergo another C&P exam. The BVA said that the "respectfully disagree" with the court order and simply denied the claim. However, they gave me specific reasons as to why the claim was denied. I filed suit again, and, again it was remanded. I have since submitted medical information that contridicts thier admitted lay opinions as to why my claim was denied. First submission was directly to the VA RO, I even got them to sign confirmation of receipt. That information was "lost" with no explination. I then sent it all myself with signature confirmation. It was received.
I called the AMC several weeks later and they told me that they where waiting for my file from my Regional office. I went to my regional office and they told me my file was at the AMC. I went to the DAV and they said that my file was at AMC and refused to call and verify. Have called my Senator and gotten the standard "we are looking into it".

Anyone have some suggestions?
