What does this mean as far as...the AMC goes. I called today and was told that my case was closed a descision was made, and that they were waiting for SSOC. I asked if it meant suplemental statement of the case and was told no, not on this end. The lady was really nice and told me she would call me back later to try and find someone there to help her dig deeper into my case/files/descision and call me back, but I am not holding my breath. All I can think of is they denied my claim again...thanks

I went to check on ebenefits about my appeal status and it says closed 12/31/12.

Yea, thats what I feel. Although I have been denied before and given the reasoning behind the denial, i wonder if they would give reasoning as to why they decide to grant? Wishful thinking though.

I guess it must be heading back to BVA for the final say?? It was remanded to the amc from bva in july, so???

Googled it and came up with some scenarios....Based off of my original claim and what the BVA remanded to the amc: A: Was caused or incurred in service B: was made worse or aggravated by SC ptsd. If either one of these are denied then a SSOC is generated. So, just maybe, the A scenario will be granted and the B scenario was denied, therefore SSOC generated. So, maybe a partial grant could be in order?

ok, so I just looked at Ebenefits again and it changed to RED and administration processing. I called the AMC and was told that my claim was closed on 12/31/12 and it is now at the BVA. I was not given a SSOC.....so what does this mean. My remand said that if my claim continues to get denied that the RO is supposed to supply me with a SSOC and time to respond before it goes back to BVA....any takers????

Just got a call from AMC, and was told that an SSOC was sent out, but never returned back. I call BS!!!!! I have been calling the AMC frequently to get status on my appeal, and nothing was ever mentioned about an SSOC being sent to me. Only that a rater was looking at my appeal!! The lady also said she saw nothing on her screen that indicated a SSOC was ever sent to me. Can O" Worms here. She told me that she would get with a supervisor there and find out what was going on, even though it was sent back to BVA 12-31-12, (without my rebuttal to SSOC,if it was needed). It appears that this appeal is going to get even more f'ed up because I have no idea as to what was on the SSOC or if there were anything else needed to resolve my appeal. It looks like my only hope is that someone at BVA will look through the evidence on record and make a correct fair decision.

What normally does a SSOC have on it?

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      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”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      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.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Post in What is the DIC timeline?

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
