Berta Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This fraud stuff ticks me off to no end. I am assuming this vet dealt with my RO. How can a RO who had a staggering error rate a few years ago (now down to 16%)based on the 100 or less claims the VA OIG checks every few years, award this vet ,that has been indicted for fraud, , yet will treat valid claimants like they are wannabees ,without properly considering their evidence? Vet indicted for Fraudhttp://www.justice.gov/usao-wdny/pr/holland-man-charged-connection-fraudulent-receipt-veterans-benefits-and-workers In part: BUFFALO, N.Y.-- U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Richard Klaffka, 56, of Holland, N.Y., was charged by criminal complaint in connection with the defendant’s receipt of benefits from the Veterans’ Administration and Workers’ Compensation under false pretenses. Klaffka is charged with making false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, and fraud. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both.

Berta Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Correction, he was charged, not indicted and maybe the wife was not charged at all.... I got this mixed up with another case....... Still, how the heck does this happen, while deserving vets can end up penniless waiting for a proper SC award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlastDaddy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That is BS. How did he get by the VA examinations? How did he get his claim approved?Many veterans including myself go through hell to get correct diagnosis and treatment. We look for help for our problems and this SOB walks through the system and then enjoys a pain free life celebrating daily.Burns my ass up!

Navy04 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You are so right Berta, as a young 100% vet, I feel like I have to work twice as hard for what little the VA does, yet people like these guys milk the VA for every undeserved dollar they can. Thanks for the info Oiler1995 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
