I can tell you that one of my old RO's is processing my current claims, made two out-of-state moves since last living there, in the last 4 and a half years.

I suspect the fact they had my C-File is how that was decided.

PUREADY,

I Moved and I went to the BVA they have a form you can fill out  that places your new Address within the whole VA System, as for as your old RO working your claim I believe if you filed the claim with them they are the ones to work your claim..unless you state other wise  there's a form for that too

if you never filled out a form requesting to change your RO then your claims stay with your original RO.

 

As for as filling out the employment questioner..I have not filled one out since 2012, My RO sent me a letter stating I didn't need to send in the 21-4140.anymore...so I have not sent them on in 3 years now..some say if you don't receive the letter   then its safer to send one in every year just to be safe.

 

I'm not sure why I got the letter? could be my age  or the concurrency running on my disability  which is just 13 1/2 Years ,so I'm not safe until the 20 year  rule

If your not sure? be better to send one in.

Thanks Buck & green I did go to the RO and had it change but after three years maybe they

don't have it yet. lol I don't want my old RO involve with the decision but looks like

I have no choice inn that decision. It took me 5 years to get a SSOC with Bob help

now they are in a rush for my employment form. I fax a copy, I downloaded it to ebenefits,

and today I will take one to the RO in ATL and maybe get a decision by XMAS. At least it with

the judge now

I tried to download the form to ebenefits but Catch 22 if you download information

to us it will delay the process of your claim//// why would I  send the form through ebenefits if delays

You cant send information to eb without causing a new claim file??

    • 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:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
