Justice Delayed Is Not Justice Denied.

[FormerMember]

That phrase was offered to us by the Court of Vet Appeals (COVA) way back in 1995. I believe it was in Fugo or Fugere. The point being is that if VA finally gets it right a decade or two later, you're good to go. No harm, no foul, right? You could have gone bankrupt, lost your house to foreclosure and be homeless and divorced--but it's all better now. VA has seen the light and made you whole with the exception of buying your house back, paying for the kids' college and marriage counseling for you and the ex. Sometimes a few of us take them to task and even more rarely- we win. This began in 1994. In sixty days, it will become a protected rating. Call them VAICO- the VA Insurance Company. This is a rare occurrence but never an impossibility. That's why Tbird built this site for you. Leave no Vet behind on a paper trail. I had to leave some up country in Laos in 1970. We were forbidden to help. We called it KIA-BNR. BNR stood for body never recovered. Never have I felt so helpless. This is why we do it. It's like an act of contrition- Never again. And certainly never to a Vet.

It's about time!!!!! Had they been honest, w/me originally, it would have saved them money, as I would have probably gone away and not bothered to help all those others. I'm sure I've cost them a couple of million, which is probably nothing, compared to what you've cost them by helping others. Nothing on your "s" award and the combined ratings table???

yeah you right Alex, they come up with these little catch phrases to try and justify thier wrongdoings and shortcomings. There is WRONG and there is RIGHT In this old world, if you have been properly raised, with the right morals and values, you know what is right and what is wrong. DONT let the Va convince you something is right when you damned well know it aint, because they have invented a saying or FAST letter. FIGHT for whats right.

you are IN DEBT to your brothers who never made it back, for this simple reason. THEY GAVE THIER LIVES FOR THE FREEDOMS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY. When you dont stand up, fight, question, argue, debate, and raise hell, when they are trampling on your rights, that your buddy died for you are no better than the tyrants that are opressing you. Dont let your brothers have died in vain. Like the old saying goes., You got to stand for something or you fall for anything.

Congratulations on the victory, Im too dense to figure out the amount, but it dont matter, you won and made them eat crow. Maybe next time they will think twice before they call us liars with no merit.

I have to agree with you fellas. If the VA would rate and process claims the way they're suppose to, much time, energy and resources can be utilized to help the more seriously wounded veterans and dependants that need immediate help and assistance. Politics and saving a buck or two should never get in the way of doing what is morally right.

If VA had to pay interest on their long delayed awards this BS would probably stop! When you wait 30 years to be properly rated and it is due to a VA mistake the VA should pay because there is really no way to make you whole. Compensation is a sorry product but it is all we have besides begging in the street.
