To Hadit members, obviously anytime someone posts anything, it can be interpreted by someone else, differently than it was the posters intention. I hope you all understand that my intensions are to give the members information on the goings on within a typical Regional Office and how a Veteran's claim may be processed.
I hope you take this information with the goodwill it is intended to bring to all Veteran's waiting for a decision on their claim. Please know, I am simply a messenger and I do not have any control over the mandates or guidelines VA uses to process a claim. ( I do my job as I am directed to do ). I hope my posts here on Hadit offer an insight or perspective regarding the claims processing from an insider’s point of view. I by no means have all the answers to claims processing, and I ask that you continue to trust the Hadit members, who have years and years of dealing with Veteran's and their claims within the VA system, for both grants and denials and the Appeals process.
That being said, I would like to also provide you with some more information that was disseminated from General Allision Hickey's visit at our RO's recent seminar.
According to the information received, there is a plan or process in progress to eliminate the APPORTIONMENT program at the VA. VA is trying to get out of making decisions with regard to claims for apportionment.
Personally, I think the following is a giant step in the right direction. VA VSRs should not be deciding who get what from a Veteran's earned VA disability. This is a decision that should be handled in a court of law, not by a GS 7 to GS 13, VA employee. Furthermore, I personally, don't believe a Veteran's disability should ever be apportioned without his consent - JMHO
