So how's this for confusing.

This is in further reference to the appeal you have filed from our decision

on your claim for benefits. It is not a decision on the appeal you have initiated.

It is a Supplemental Statement of the Case which contains changes or additions

to the original Statements of the Case sent to you on June 17,2002, and August 12, 2003. A previous Supplemental Statement of the Case was sent on August 12, 2003.

DUHHHHHHHHH !

Carlie- at least you got another SSOC ! -

I thought I would get one too-can I have yours?

I need to repaper my bathroom-because the old SSOCs I got -in the 1990s -on the walls-I wanted to replace them-

with some news ones-

Seriously- SSOCs keep a claim at the VARO level-the more they send -the more apt they are to put their foot in their mouth- you only have to focus on the Reasons and Bases they made up-

Save those SSOCs men and women- what I got in late 1990s has become evidence to support two of my present claims.

Those SSOcs also helped Dr. Bash prepare the -his still -VA- unread, Nov 2004, IMO he sent to me that totally supports my claim.

I am thinking of publishing it in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Newspaper so the VA might take note of it.

Good grief carlie. I've been at the appeals game for almost 4 years now. I had my BVA hearing last May. Readding what you said made me feel not so crazy. Thanks for your post. I am very new to Hadit.

HA HA Jangrin -that was good- and the funny thing is my husband always said the RO had a big billboard across the road from it that said F--- this vet! and his name was there-then after he died they put my name and even my kids name on it-

Yeah- Dr. BAsh's IMO on a billboard- hmmmm-but they still would have to go to night school to take reading 101 -so I dont know if the billboard would work-

All kidding aside-well actually we all need to have a sense of humor dealing with the VA-

For some reason I can get more out of an 800 person and even did at VA Central Office and with the Gen Counsel attorney because I call it as I see it and it does come out funny sometimes-

Most of you don't know me- I hate to use the phone but in person and on the phone I am often very comical-

it doesnt come across here much-oppps ---the topic cops might write me up----

Alan-I posted an answer to your TDIU form question -then the topic was moved- did you find that post?

Carlie- that is called VAROla Crapola- it took them more time to type that then to look at your claims.

Carlie- one thought more-

have you considered getting an IMO- I know they are costly-but they often help a lot-

I was just talking to Dr. Bash-

He is giving me an additional IMO-we had quite a nice talk- he is so user friendly-but again these opinions cost money- and I really cant give an idea on his fee because that is determined by many factors-

This is an additional investment on my part but there was so much supporting evidence in my husband's records that he did not need to use for his first IMO -

the second opinion will sew it all up-the VA cannot say it is a redundant opinion because this opinion is based on additional symptoms and test results that the VA failed to address

re: diabetic vascular disease-not part of the first opinion.

Many of us here have been very happy with the investments into a good IMO.

http://www.veteransmedadvisor.com/ Dr. Bash's contact page.

Might not be around here as much-for a few days- I have some copying to do for this IMO- and I am very happy to do it- because Dr. Bash speaks our VA lanquage and of course,he is a real doctor.

If he had treated my husband instead of the VA my husband would still be coming home for dinner.
