Question

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/health/veterans-dying-health-care-delays/index.html

When I count my blessings I count my family and friends twice.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

Well done is better than well said.

Looks like DOCTOR FOOT is trying to distance himself from the VA. Pretty convienent to come forward after you retire, and say ohh it was them, not me. Sounds like a whole bunch of folks need to be prosecuted for gross negligence, and systematic homicide.

This is like something out of the third Reich. I am sick to my stomach reading this. THEY WAITED FOR VETERANS TO DIE, THEN SCRATCHED THEM OFF OF A SECRET LIST.

We are hearing anecdotal evidence that the same thing is happening in VAMC Tucson. This is the most shameful event that I have ever witnessed in the 41 years that I have been dealing with the VA.

Someone needs to go to jail over this. Destroying (shredding) official government documents (appointment lists) is a felony.

People said that I should watch what I say because I see my friends dying and Detroit is full of corrupted people.

The families have to SUE !

and our congress people have to pass HR 4031:

http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/4031


'Introduced in House (02/11/2014)

Department of Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act of 2014 - Authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to: (1) remove any individual from the Senior Executive Service upon determining that such individual's performance warrants removal, and (2) remove such individual from federal service or transfer the individual to a General Schedule position at any grade that the Secretary deems appropriate.

Requires: (1) the Secretary to notify the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs committees within 30 days after removing such an individual, and (2) such removal to be done in the same manner as the removal of a professional staff member employed by a Member of Congress."

And the Sec has to develop the cahoonies to implement the far reaching authority he will have... if this passes the H and the S.

Untimely diagnosis and lack of proper treatment is how I succeed in part of my FTCA wrongful death case.
The other part was I had proved a cover up occurred when I started asking the docs the wrong questions.

I recalled, after reading this today,that one VA attorney, very earlier on in my FTCA process, said to me, "oh well. your husband could have died anyhow."

I said " Anyhow my ass. The VA killed him." He changed his tune fast when he read my evidence.

I wonder too what other types of secret lists the VA has.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

well all they have to do is get a few doctors in a box with some premeditated murder charges read to them , and I bet they will start singing like a bird.

This corruption and abuse of power went deep because it states that they had the intake secretaries to just delete the screen after they copied a hard copy, then they would add the info to a secret digital file (likely a thumbdrive).. so this system had to be going on thru the whole place with many involved.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      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”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • 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.
