John,

I am above on the post. I am at the BVA on a remand to the AMC and this case is under investigation.

My claim is on the desk of the two crooked psychiatrist reading this letter.

I placed a waiver against any decisions on my claim by any Regional Office, as my Form 9 was turned in 2 years before I received a final denial.

When I received the first C&P with the more likely than not. That R.O immediately transferred my claim to another state.

I filed my first claim in 1978 and was denied, filed again in 2002 and denied. Awarded a pension back to 1983 for 100% disability for this illness in 2003.

In 2004, I located all the Psychiatric Records and the letter by the Commanding Officer and turned in copies to the Va.

Remand from BVA

In support of her claim she submitted several service department documents she obtained from the National Personnel Records Center, including additional service medical records,which VA had not obtained previously.

I ask the BVA to make all decisions.

Thanks,

Josephine

You located the records yourself, Any record in the governments posession bears the responsibility of the VA to obtain as per duty to assist. If you reopened after 2000 and the VCAA. You may consider filing a Cue claim based on the information you have just provided. Wait until you get an award or denial. You can file a cue on a previous denied final claim. You should be OK since the BVA did remand, DID it go to the AMC or back to the original RO?

You are still allowed to present evidence in remand circumstance so an IMO is not out of the question.

Take a small break from this stuff, It is really getting to you. I can tell by your posts that is.

John,

I was fine with all of this, but the lies that those two psychiatrist said about me, has taken its toll on me. I just won't their 2nd opinion.

I placed a waiver against any R.O making any decision in my claim and I am remanded to the AMC.

I will soon be finished with this mission.

It has been a long hard fight.

Thanks,

Josephine

I would let it alone except if you decide to get an IMO that would be something to pursue. VA C&P exams are tricky and you know they can go either way even when you have lots of evidence. The IMO is your doctor being paid by you. Think of the VA as being a big machine with no feelings or brain. That is what you are dealing with and not so much the evil empire. The VA does not care about you or me. It is just a grinding machine that will grind you to dust if you let it.

Josephine,

"I placed a waiver against any decisions on my claim by any Regional Office"

I'm pretty sure the WAIVER you've mentioned DOES NOT BAR a Regional Office

from the decisional making process on a vets claim, especially if it is remanded.

The only WAIVER I know of concerning a Regional Office is that when a vets claim is at a higher level (BVA or COURT) the vet can sign a WAIVER that whatever else they are submitting, they (the vet) is WAIVING the STEP of this submission going through the Regional Office prior to it going straight to BVA or Court.

Now maybe I've missed something in here, if so please let me know.

OMO,

carlie

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

I am sorry, that is what I meant to say. I placed a waiver against the R.O taking action on any new evidence that I turned in to the BVA in the future.

At that time, I did not know if my claim would be remanded back to Huntington, West Va. as they are also a Management Center.

My claim is at the AMC in Washington, D. C. . but a lot of claims are remanded to Huntington. W. Va.

I agree if the R. O would take the time to do the claims properly, the BVA and the AMC would not receive so many claims.

Thanks,

Josephine

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • 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:
