I got a date for travel Board Appeal

[retiredat44]

Date, travel Board Appeal: March (? -8) 2016. I think it's correct date without looking again. So, I guess I have to take  the reps I ended up with in Oregon, who are horrible (dirty rotten bad!) and refused to listen when I transferred, I got yelled and lectured, they refused to listen that I already had appeals... I finally haired someone else, then was told it was to late since the appeal was going so they an only advise me from behind. Nightmare? I am so sick, hope I make it been internally bleeding a lot with pancreatic disease!

I am not sure if this will help much, but were the reps you ended up with local or from the RO?

I had one local rep who was excellent and retired, but the others were crap. When I went before the traveling board and later before a DRO, the RO reps helped.

I have top chat with my rep at the Salem VA office, in a week, (the last time they bungled the chat and refused to listen... so I have to go through this again), in preparation for the Hearing in March.

re: the 1151: which I filed by myself because the VA refused to help me file, I took Berta's advice, continuing my claim and appeal, and also have a copy of a couple 1151 type claims, similar to mine.

It kills me, my mind can no longer think properly been sick to long, too much hell and suffering. I will pack up the boxes and notes again.

I have many issues to fight for, so I just take my meds and go through this nightmare a few more times. I have other avenues if I have problems with the current claims. But, again,. the pancreas disease is to much for me, I am just glued together with meds, my brains foggy. The morphine keeps the pain from overwhelming me.

So, going to a meeting with VA rep, then March the Traveling Board hearing..

That's it. Nothing to memorize, as I have truth on my side.

Thank you for all of the help. Hope my body stays together a few more weeks.!

Hang in there Steve!

You had posted a statement in a S0C that was dynamite, as to the 1151 issue.

I remember one of the BVA claims that was exactly like yours.

I might even still have that SOC statement.

I did find this  that I saved in my older PC docs:

I forgot to add to my post

“Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the most common cause of iatrogenic pancreatitis [1]. Studies have shown post-ERCP complications were responsible for greater than 65 percent of malpractice claims [2, 3]. “

To add    -the term “Iatrogenic”means caused by a doctor or medical procedure."

I hope others here will take the time to look over these links and give you support on the 1151 issue.

All I found in my old docs is this, as a reply here at hadit some years ago:

"In the partial SOC he posted years  at hadit it stated:

“The VA examination shows a diagnosis of status post necrotizing pancreatitis secondary

to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with residual chronic pancreatitis. “
 

This excerpt from a lawyer's web site says:

 

“Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the most common cause of iatrogenic pancreatitis [1]. Studies have shown post-ERCP complications were responsible for greater than 65 percent of malpractice claims [2, 3]. “

ERCP- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

"iatrogenic"  most probably due to medical error.

As VA stated in the older post with the SOC statement above

  the necrotizing pancreatitis is secondary to the ERCP procedure which they buggered in Steve's case and in the case of one of the BVA decisions I found for him.

Either this was and still remains one of the most obvious cases of 1151 VA Negligence I have ever seen, based the info posted here from the veteran over the years, or

I guess I am going nuts.
