Unfortunately have been seeing a disturbing trend lately from the lying, cheating VA, here is how it works.....
Lets say the VA finally awards a disabled veteran an award that they had been fighting for and erroneously awards 10% back several years(VA regs state that the veteran deserves a higher award so they will have to NOD).
The payment hits the veterans bank account first and is relatively a small amount compared to what it should be, but the veteran already knows that it should be several thousand dollars from simple math, 10% x ?months equals X.
The veteran gets the VA packet which as usual does a terrible job of explaining what the VA actually did and is ambiguous at best.....You were only awarded 10% because blah blah blah blah blah thank you for your service we care about veterans(then the tirade), yeah save it, the VA cares sooo much about veterans that they award themselves hundreds of millions of dollars of veterans money?!
The bs VA explanation document starts by listing a few hundred dollars with a month and year next to it and then a note stating 'cost of living adjustment' next to that and keeps doing this down the page with varying amounts of money, not showing the actual award per month though, only COLA.
However doing simple math the 10% rating dating back to the actual service connected initial year up until now and the amount of the VA award does not add up correctly and equal what it should, as a matter of fact its not even close.
Example
$390.00 12/2006 cost of living adjustment
$450.00 05/2007 cost of living adjustment
$719.00 10/2007 cost of living adjustment
etc.....
For example, lets say its $101.00 per month at 10% at 10 years back, so thats 120 months which is 120 x $101.00 = $12120.00; but for whatever bs reason the VA only awards $1212.00(no garnishments or anything like that either), has anyone ever ran into anything like this, as it looks like some sort of fraud and cant possibly be correct?
Can you say 'lynch-mob' with pitchforks and torches. ;)
Thank you

Every veteran that is given a C&P exam should be allowed to video record the entire thing. Video evidence could be of great use in proving that examinations are inadequate. I would have

Sorry to hear of the Typical VA Woes. Over the last 10 yrs the VA has supposedly done so much to improve the Claims process. In some ways I believe that, like the FDC process, which speeds up everyth
