ptsd Veterans Affairs Failing Faster In Nearly All Areas, Monumental Problems

[Capt.]

Hello All,

I have been watching the post from so many of our members , old ones and alot of new ones. Watching the hearings from both house and senate, numerous news agencies and I am also seeing the problems with so many areas within the Veterans Affairs.

After reading so many post from not just myself but members like Berta, Carlie, Jbasser, Boomer, Teac, Bronco, Asknod, 71m10, Sp4, Meghp0405 and many others who post specific articles and news links, I am seeing a terrible pattern.

One that I believe we all can look at and say , this whole VA system is corrupt. It is so far gone that their is no answer to get any of the problems fixed.

I am going to bring up just a few of the problems we are facing at an alarming rate with a downward spiral.

Arrogance, Elitist, criminal mindset, refusing to answer Congressional hearings questions, failing to comply with Office of Inspector General reports, GOA reports and recommendations and outright lies, coverups are expressed with non compliance and blatant ignoring the laws and regulations of our country and the Code of Federal Regulations. This is the Secretary , Assistant Secretary , Directors and VARO Service Managers that continue to operate with immunity. No one can touch them and we see everything getting worse. Responsibility and accountability are totally ignored and rewarded with more bonuses.

I am going to list just a few of the more recent problems within the last 6 months to a year from some of the news articles or past post with topics that are here at Hadit.

1. The incredible increase of the backlog

2. Inacurracy of the claims decisions process and its error rates especially from initial decisions to BVA remands process

3. Problems viewing Cfiles

4. Lack of Due Processs to Veterans and the Timelines faulty, error ridden decisions making Appeals nearly impossible

5. Failing to answer phone calls at most VAROS

6. VARO C and P exams not available to veterans or delayed more than one year

7. FOIA delays of information or non compliance at all

8. Dependents pay non-compliance and or long delays

9. VA arrogance on questions from House and Senate subcommittees, GOA, OIG reports

10.Fidicuiary Scandals

11. Legionaires Disease Coverup

12. Suicide Veteran Rate Increase

13. Lack of treatment for PTSD veterans

14 Homelessness of our Veterans

15. Paperless transitions for records inconsistancy between VAROs and VAMC, Clinics , dealing with MyhealthyVet, Ebenefits

16. Travel pay issues

17. Treating any correspondance with VAROS as a NEW CLAIM

I have used Hadit, and many news organizations, House and Senate reports, OIG, GOA and other agencies to bring up these points above.

Now I know I have missed alot of areas and these are just some of the more recent events and directions VA is taking and it is so evident by the huge number of Veterans that are posting on Hadit and viewing our topics.

You can see it in the tone of our topics and the Veterans and their wives and widows desparation. I have been a member here for over 6 years and the overall direction the Veterans Affairs has taken is absolutely out of control.

It has gotten so bad. I am so fearful for our Veterans that are just now coming into the VA claims and benefits process. That so many are going to fall thru the cracks and that the number of Veterans who will just say I quit and face prison, divorce or death or homelessness. That the number of Veteran problems now dominate our news agencies. Our courts and prisons are fast seeing an alarming problem with our Veteran community. We see it daily in our News reports.

That is why I have to just bring this topic up thats been on my mind for a long while, so that many of our Veterans can see that we all face some very dark waters ahead. And that is why I hope that every Veteran that comes to Hadit will say to each other....... NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

I read a VFW congressional quote today that said about 2 million claims and appeals are in the backlog right now for compensation,pensions, educational benefits and survivors. I get these VFW updates with factoids. I remember trying to get A&A for my grandmother and my mother a few years apart. They could find no records for my grandfather because he served before WWI and my mother died waiting for benefits. The county VA guy said that was VA SOP to try and wait out vets and spouses in nursing homes hoping they would die before any decision was made. We have seen the high water mark with the WWII vets.

Because of the so called Amnesty that was granted to those "canadian citizens" during Vietnam, any draft now would never work! Our country is truly in those that love it enough to defend her!!

Folks, This whole week has revealed so much corruption from VA. The Senate Hearings were a fiasco filled with lies and more dead promises. Now the Florida Charity Scandal at Allied . The report from Bergmann and Moore and it just is now moving at high speed corruption . Moving faster than any of us would have dreamed. The terrible decision by Thomas Murphy, a VA hack deputy director and his C123 Agent Orange stance with an incredible denial that Agent Orange really does not cause any harm.......HUH..........

Alright ..... I have no choice but to file malpractice suit number 2 even before number one has settled and may be a press conferece. Lets just pull off the gloves and start name calling ....like who really handled my claim and the diseases I have and not been treated ....I have 2 of the DRO names , another decision rep and the Service Manager so lets just see what I can come up with in the next month or so. And I am going to specifically name them in this lawsuit FTCA Malpractice and what the snakes hissed. And I am fighting another hand infection so I am already like a grizzly bear with a bad tooth. Never poke at one of those. When that bear is hurting then he lashes out at everyone. That is probably how I feel this week. More paper work and waitiing on xrays and ct scans and then the lawsuit FTCA part 2 ...... Now I need a good news person that will sit down and listen and go after the scumline that runs Regional Office in Houston. It may make some mad but not as mad as I am. Stay tuned for part 3. God bless all of our troops and our folks here at Hadit. There is so much work that all of its member are trying to do the right thing but VA is gone beyond any concept of decency. I will NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless. C.C.

Bronco,

You probably remember me from quite a while ago...a word of warning, no matter what the context, or how the subject is expressed, never talk weapons and the VA in the same post. VA employees wet themselves in anticipation of turning your IP address over to the DHS. Since the cyberattacks on America by China are of less importance to the DHS than to hounding we Veterans, they will harass you from then on. Two years, five hard drives and three computers later, I'm still fighiong them off. I am having to hire a lawyer to try to get my name off "Janet's list".

Our wonderful Sec. of DHS will go to any length, including violating your constitutional rights (what little of them is left) to see your butt in prison.

Just a little wizened advice.
