Question
stanval
Good day all. I am new at this. I thank God for you, your acknowledge, success and your not giving up. I desperately need some direction on how to help my husband’s claim. He served in Vietnam.
His appeal (PTSD) is located in the AMC in Washington, DC; he is represented there by VVA. I hate to say it but I know more information than the attorney. It was remanded in 2012. The AMC requested information from him at the end of Feb 2014, the info is already in his file. I still completed the form with the requested information and he now waits to hear a decision on his PTSD appeal claim.
The lawyer with the VVA explained to me that an appeal and new claims cannot/will not be looked at during the same time. Has this been your experience?
There was a claim for hypertension and sleep apnea, but somehow they were separated and not being addressed at this time. There was some sort of remand that I do not understand.
May 2013 his right kidney was removed he completed prostate radiation treatment in September 2013 and has many follow-up test including now looking at the liver and soon his heart (Nuclear test). He has not worked since April 2013. He has not had the Agent Orange exam. What are your thoughts on that? What do you recommend as next steps while we wait to hear from the appeal?
A claim was filed in March and May 2013 for the kidney and prostate cancer but when I called the 1000# they have no record of receiving it. Also the DAV is representing him on this claim. I am waiting to hear back from the rep. I have not received a development letter on the claims. My husband’s file is considered sensitive but no one knows why. PLEASE help!!! What should we do? What can we do
