Question

After contacting Bob about my appeals it has been with the judge for 30 days

so at least its not denied yet. After researching on the judge its looks like he

is judge hacker most his decision is a remand or a denial but most didn't have

no evidence nor medical opinions. Looks like he do read the whole c-file an consider

the evidence. So I wait some more but I got what I ask and I ant mad.

Everybody have a Great Thanksgiving!!!

prior to 2009 the veteran service-connected disabilities

of COMMON ETIOLOGY DID NOT HAVE RATING COMBINABLE TO A 60% DISABLITY RATING)

I don't see how that prevented them from awarding TDIU,prior to 2009......????

It is medical evidence that awards TDIU

VBut it would prevent them from a 100% or TDIU Plus 60 SMC S Housebound award.

Does your lawyer want to continue this fight?

Bertha from 2004 -2009 my total rating was 30% until I file secondary condition but was unemployable

since in 2003 with SSA records showing this for one condition DDD OF LUMBAR. Nothing about the medical

opinion from attorney IMO or AN IME.

But it would prevent them from a 100% or TDIU Plus 60 SMC S Housebound award. BINGO THAT WHAT IT ABOUT

or my thinking anyway. At a moment I felt so good it was over with VA even though I LOST that just keep popping in my head

how good it felt and still thinking. I'm worn down, been at this a long time, helping other people even my sister is wearing me down but

I do have an attorney who don't want to quit so I will leave it up to him I think he wanted it to go to court or knew he might have to

to get the award anyway.

Bertha BVA don't have to follow another BVA DECISION is this right????But a decision from CAVC they do just asking?

update: after talking to attorney today he will go forward with the claim for EED.

Never have I gone to BVA for appeals and they wont consider the evidence in the

claim basically saying they go by what the RO has said to be enough evidence to

decide the claim. So BVA don't consider evidence anymore or is it just me???

Attorney says its a conspiracy against me from what it looks like. Same as I thought.

RO makes a decision I appeal it but they only consider the RO opinion and I have 3

medical opinion from experts doctor and treating doctors never look at by BVA.

That's my only reason for being piss for " not considering evidence" on file. Waited

5 years and to not consider my evidence. I ask about filing reconsideration of evidence

you have 120 day before your deadline at CAVC. He don't think it will work or he had no

success with this after a decision like this a judge don't consider evidence. Never had this

happen to me out of 15 years of filing claims. BVA don't consider evidence. just piss!!! I live

to fight another day. RU

I made somebody mad as hell :angry::angry: even the judge after I email BOB. lol

somebody had said be careful what you ask for, maybe carlie, broncovet at the

first of the emails to Bob. just saying I don't regret it but at least I thought they had to

consider evidence. NO evidence listed in the decision of what was consider just 8 pages

of 4.16(a) bullshit , did not consider nothing from my attorney arguments . So he is piss

and told me that's why I have him leave this to him set back and relax. I always have won at BVA

until now. Attorney says it will get remanded back to them to consider the evidence of records.

I don't know anything past BVA decisions I have never been this far in claims to CAVC

Any thoughts from those been there??? anybody.

After another email to Bob I have a lot of people piss right now. Receive about

four calls from RO VSR today about the decision. Claims file will be move to Atlanta RO

not Columbia SC anymore, also will get another look at by Atlanta RO saying they will grant if

the evidence is in the records showing unemployability but first we must appeal to the court hoping to get

the remand for not considering the evidence in the records and it is none listed in decision. Maybe hope after all

    • 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.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
