Update On Blue Water Ao Claims

http://vawatchdog.org/old%20newsflashes%20...0-15-2006-1.htm

(Blue Water veterans should not hesitate to file their claims, in spite of Stay proceedings)

"The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has implemented a stay on the adjudication of Haas-like claims.

However, a recent decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims makes it clear that the VA has not followed the proper procedure for taking such action.

So, on September 28, we filed a Writ of Mandamus with the Court, requesting that the Court order the VA to rescind its illegal stay of proceedings on Haas-like claims.

Yesterday, the judge ordered the VA to file an answer to our Writ by October 26.

Additionally, the VA has asked the Department of Justice to appeal the Haas decision, but the DOJ has yet to do so.

They have until November 7 to appeal.

I hope this information is helpful."

Sincerely,

Richard V. Spataro
