Hirer More Veterans At Ro!

I had a thought, if the VA would consider hiring more WAR disable veterans I believe that would speed up the claims log.

experience speaks for is self.

I fail to understand the responses to this topic.

Point blank: with the VA having so many unresolved claimed and appeals, they have to consider more properly trained man power as a way to bring the numbers down.

It doesn't matter if the new personnel is a veteran or a civilian.

What matters most is competence and abiding by VA rules when it comes to claims.

Not gaming the system for or against veterans.

I personally would like to see bonuses eliminated because it opens the doors to someone putting their own well being above the process (properly evaluating veteran claims).

Its shameful if managers are instructing worker below them to deny on anything other than evidence.

The process really needs to be streamlined and simplified from a procedural perspective.

However veterans still have to know medical information is the key.

1. Medical or mental health incident in SMR file.

2. Treatment since leaving active duty.

3. Formal diagnosis (MRI, X-Ray, blood work, CT Scan, documented stressor for licensed psychologist, etc.) from a licensed physician.

4. DBQ or IMO

5. (If needed) A nexus letter connecting current medical issue to medical issue cited in military medical records.

The system is not supposed to be gamed or dictated in any way.

The expectation is for VA worker to honestly assess information in a impartial way and base the decision on the criteria set forth.

"HONESTY AND HONOR ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE"

Well veterans have experience from being injured and knows what its like to have nothing because of his/her disability.

a veteran earned his/her benefits, sure it don't matter who they hire but it would help who they hire to have understanding and compassion toward there fellow man. no veteran should be turn away just because RO Management decides who gets what!

if the evidence warrants a good claim why not award it. if it cost your job? That's BS that's no reason to lie and do what RO management says if you have any integrity about your self at all.

Where are the Whistle Blower's?

Eh I am sure the conflict of interest would arise in a situation like that. But it is really a question of ethics and values and what a Veteran considers priorities. I am one that is not afraid to rock the boat per say. There are things that are just right and just and there are things that are wrong and completely unethical. You have to have a strong moral compass and a high character. I think, just my opinion now, if a veteran is working for the VA, he or she might have to make decisions that are against the game, if I can call it that, but I believe most people would do the right thing. Follow the law, the regulations, and the evidence presented and give the veteran due process and a fair shake. Let the higher ups do the evil deeds. In the end they will have to answer for their transgressions. JMHO.

I think I would get fired within a day. After going through the process myself, as a claimant, I cannot forsake one of my brothers or sisters for the sake of my job or money. Screw the pooch it would be yes, but there is a right and wrong.
