The Va Continues To Lie!

[retiredat44]

I sent this to my service officer to clear up some of the continuing lies, from the VA, in my claims:

I Steven *** have been trying to get this claim problem straightened out with the VA, since my first claims filed, since my first claims in the 1990's. There is either a misunderstanding, or the VA is a purposely refusing to acknowledge that I worked with and was sickened by all of the following chemicals on active duty.

Gasoline (Leaded), Jet-Fuel, Diesel Fuel, Trichloroethylene.

I worked as a Fuels Specialist, and worked with Gasoline (leaded), Jet-Fuel, Diesel Fuel daily. I was soaked in those chemicals daily. I was sickened by those chemicals, and the U.S.A.F. doctors determined they made me very sick. The command was notified, and I was removed from that job. I was placed in a new job, at a weather squadron, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. My duty had no chemical exposure. After a few weeks I was told to report to a new job. I was again working with petroleum chemicals (Trichloroethylene), which were used to clean printing presses. I again became very sick. I had no choice but to leave the U.S.A.F. because I had lost all jobs due to illnesses from chemicals. (5 years active duty).

When I claimed for V.A. disability, I told the VA it was for all of the chemicals. Every decision the V.A. denies, they only deny Jet-Fuel related claims. They always fail to discuss all of the chemicals which made me sick. I told the V.A. so many times, I cannot count the times. At the DRO hearing (San Diego), I told them over and over about all of the chemicals. I told the DRO hearing that the other fuels were also a part of my every day contact, and that I was soaked in them every day. I was soaked in them from filling fuel tanks, with open and closed nozzles, distributing fuels, testing fuels, leaky valves, and more. My clothing and skin were soaked every day on active duty with these chemicals.

I was then again soaked with Trichloroethylene from cleaning printing presses, the injuring continued from exposure (Repro-graphics specialist).

The headaches, the extremely swollen skin and limbs. So swollen, that my limbs were bleeding from the skin unable to expand further.

I want this part of the record. I have made printed and oral statements to correct the record with V.A. claims, but every attempt has been ignored.

Please, finally make this part of the record. Add it to or find the records, if my earlier statement were destroyed, ignored, whatever. I am pleading for this to be done honestly and correctly, as this misunderstanding is from no-fault of my own, I am not a lawyer, and have no idea how to make sure these omissions by the V.A. can be corrected by any others way, except to make again one more statement, among many, about this huge problem with my claim not handled properly.

Here we go again, looks like another remand. The BVA judge says the VA R.O. did not follow directions.

Maybe the BVA judge puts everything in perspective so they can fulfill the requests? Like bullet points on each subject and what the outlive of each is.

It looks like the R.O. never looks at the evidence and the judge keeps telling them to read it and use it for their decisions.

I really don't understand. I try to understand. I wish the judge would just make final rulings, and stop this charade with an incompetent VA R.O.

Anyways, I received the letter on a Saturday, VA BVA dated this long large letter 08-09-17. I sent copied to my POA. Also a copy to John Dorle, to keep him up to date.

Let's see if I can stay alive long enough to see this through to the end. I am housebound. I told the doctors that at the BVA. Even if I had the itch to go outside, I just need to come back in and lay down sick. The summer with the heat has been cruel. It is horrific to me. I need cold air to blow off fevers. The pancreas is again more hellish pain and swelling. The VA up in Portland is not following the surgical team plans and how to treat me. The blisters I have and had appear to be diabetic blisters, but the VA lied when I went to the VA doctors and emergency room. I have no confidence, as the necrotizing pancreatitis is very rare and these people are like shaman witchdoctors at the VA here. They have no clue and lie, and if you try to talk they treat you like you are clueless and they know all. It's all Hell.

 

I appreciate the Hadit Forums and the good people and wisdom, and so many of us are put through hell because of the total incompetence of this so called fixed V.A.

 

btw, one of the VA CPA exam doctors asked me, out of the blue, if I was going to kill myself. More abuse and no one to tell.

My VA rep and POA said the judge remanded it because the VA didn't explain their rational for denying me.  I was also told that I may or may not have to go through (or repeat) more C&P exams.

This remand is for the VA R.O. to clarify, and to use professionals for the specific health issues, and not general med doctors, and to explain  and read al of the medical records, as the judge thinks the R.O. (VA Regional Office never read all of the pertinent medical records.) Apparently the BVA judge is sympathetic to my claims. So says my rep (Power of Attorney VA Representative). I can still submit additional evidence.  My POA also said is suppose to be expedited, but does not know if it will be months or years for the remand to be done and back at the BVA.

Remands appear to be moving at a decent rate now for the most part so hang in there buddy.

44,

Hang in there friend,

I don't get it either, you're not alone.  It should be up and out, not up and back down, and again, like a yo-yo.

Hoping this turns around for you soon,

they are moving, but moving back to the R.O. again...  realize that the main issue was originally filed in 1996/1997. Denied.... then refiled with tons of new evidence in 2009. The evidence includes old and new, because they never reviewed the old evidence, that's why the judge is telling them they did not follow his orders, in this new remand. Definition of moving, is different when you have a fatal disease. Like I do. This is what the surgeons told me. Not making this up. One doctor told me I am the only person with this disease that hasn't died from it, yet.
