GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University !

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

mrstix - was yours paid by dfas or VA. I received a letter from dfas in which they provided that they owed me 86.00. I sent them a fax and asked about the 14 months that I did not receive CRDP payments due to a 14 month late approval by VA on a claim. They then provided that my information had already been sent to VA as they may owe me some money. I assume that such a payment will be just as hard to get as a regular claim. the reseaon dfas gave me was that VA had withheld all of the money so they were responsible. Oh well I guess I will never see that back pay if I have to depend on VA to make such a payment.

Forgot to add - about 90 percent of these retro payments are having to be paid by the VA where they screwed veterans out of money. Since they have been discovered and called on the issue I bet all of the dead VA secretaries are turning over in their graves. Just to think that such a dumb person as Nicholson taking over their VA - hell he can't even screw veterans without being caught hahahahahahahahahaha. On a serious note both VA and DFAS knew what was going on but both acted stupid about it when questioned and pointed fingers at each other. Someone should go to jail. If I embellezed millions out of sick veterans I would be called an animal by the VA an sent to jail for the rest of my life.

Opinion:

If you were working for the VA, you'd get a bonus.

If you were working in congress, you would have funded your favorite pork.

If you lived next door to me............ Well, anyhow.

Those that need help the most are the ones least likely to receive help from the VA.

It's up to us to help each other.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • 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”
