Opinions

[green]

I would appreciate your opinions given the following information

• Processed out of the military in 1983 and given a 20% rating
• Requested a reevaluation of disability in 1993 and given a 60% rating
• Requested consideration for 9 secondary conditions December 2014, used Fully Developed Claim format, my claim was in preparation for notification for about 2 weeks but went backwards... the claim is currently "gathering evidence"

I called Peggy today to get a status update and was told that the RO had requested records from three different Regional Offices.  I haven't lived in one State since 2002 and the other two were prior to 1993. 

This is interesting as I had a call from the RO working my current claim back in September and asked if I would give them permission to not go to any RO for information I hadn't submitted and I gave them permission.  Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

Hey Broncovet,
I thought they just sat around playing poker? I'll see your c-file and raise you two c-files?

I agree completely. When my last round of claims was making its way through the system, the ebenefits status never changed. It was about a month after I got my decision letter in the mail before it changed.

My current claim/s has been sitting in the prep for decision phase for 6 weeks now.

Va execs frown on VA employees playing poker on working hours UNLESS they are invited.  So, employees, have a new plan:

They take 100 Veterans files and dump them all on the floor.  They then play "hungry hippo" with the files.  http://www.disabledveterans.org/2015/11/05/leaked-va-staff-playing-human-hungry-hungry-hippos-game/

Now, Va raters:

1.  Deny all claims with "no evidnence in the file, do to the "hungry hippo game losing files and placing them in another Veterans cfile."

2.  They then assume the rest of the Vets must be deceased, so they naturally discontine benefits of Veterans already receiving them.  

3.  Those claims which are so confusing due to multiple Veterans illnesses in the file are put in the "dead claims file" for multiple year delays, hoping the Veteran dies and does not complain.  

4.  Lastly, for the few claims that are still "not denyable or not delayable", then those are given a combination of lowball/bad effective dates.    

VYNC  I will see your Functionally denied claim (FDC) , and raise you 3  "confused-conflated and contaminated" files,  (Cfiles).

Broncovet,
I wonder how much taxpayer purchased booze was involved in that hungry hippo game... It could also explain why the VAMC is so insistent on not giving out pain medication any more. This has to be where it goes!

Lol, FDC, c-files, heh...

Hey Andyman

Did you file for depression as secondary to your chronic Pain? to your SC disability's?

if so lets us know how that goes?...I'm thinking you have a good chance of approval buddy!

I'll keel my fingers cross for ya buddy.

I am expecting  denial with my claim I never submitted a nexus letter  and from what asknod mention on the Hadit radio show Wed Night   That' will be the reason I get denied.....live and learn I guess  eh!
