If VA Changes/Deletes things in ebenefit?What then?

[Buck52]

Couple questions.

If  veteran looks on ebenfits at his ''disabilities''...and makes copies ...and then the next day the VA or who ever the guilty one is    deleted this information?  like an old rating decision  and effective date...was deleted from ebenny's?  but the veteran has his copy.  and the veteran needs this information to get his EED Corrected.

How do you request VA to put this information back on the ebenny's site?. or who do you need to go see?

Another question?

What if the VA cancels a healthcare Appointment...and says the patient canceled it? when in all honesty the veteran never canceled any appointments and the things that is said at VA PCP Exam and it was not said but the Dr put it in his/her report...How would a Veteran go about getting this problem corrected...especially if it helps his claim/claims?

Most of the time there's going to be things said in the Dr's report that were never said but the Dr says things that are not true and never was mention to the Veteran as the Dr says it was  because things like this could be detrimental to the veterans claim, how would the veteran go about getting this corrected?

Anyone care to comment?

 

Thanks

I had a similar situation regarding doctors notations. Worse of all it was near my C&P exam date. I contacted my facility and told the operator there was a discrepancy in my report and asked for a call back from the doctor. Unfortunately I never received one. But she did notate there was a discrepancy and notated exactly what it was. Not sure if raters or big wigs view that when they are reviewing things. 

 Hope that helps a little.

WELL i WONDER WHO THEY BELIEVE  THE VETERAN OR THE VA? its the veterans word against the VA..or the VA Doc, &who is who?

I was wondering how a veteran gets these type things corrected.

Amendment....but the Doc Needs to do that.

About the ebenny's question  is anybody's guess.

[Cobra4v]

Is there a rating for the condition already or is it in processing? If it is still in processing I would contact ebenefits 1800# and see if there is a system error of some type. If it has already been completed and already receiving compensation I would contact the regional office and take it up with them. This may even be something a VSO could help with if there is paperwork involved.

 

Just my opinion. I'm sure there are more qualified people with more knowledge that could give a better course of action.

The rating decision has been decided in the veterans favor, however the veteran was paid from the time the decision was approved and not the date the claim was first started.

claim filed in 1998...decision was made 2003 to give the veteran a 50% rating the veteran should have recieve retro from 1998..but failed to submit NOD with in a year.

the disabilities in ebenny's say they effective date for 50% is 1998, veteran was not pain retro for the back pay  only one year.

The only thing  in my opinion the veteran can do is request a total review of that claim and produce records to prove it ( in c-file)

the dates  of the what VA has down in disabilities as 1998, the veteran was paid a year retro  adjusted to the 50% rate from 2003 back to 2002....his 50%adjusted rate should have went back to the year 1998

However  the Rater (DRO& Rating specialist) state in their 2003 decision that even though this disability was filed in 1998  the rate will start from the date veteran filed for increase...I disagree with that.

[Buck52]

I must say this is my claim  and back then I never fully understood the NOD and the VA Law...but right is right  wrong is wrong.

Lots of veterans realize how the VA is and for those not familiar with the VA Claims process and not catch a glitch like this from the VA & find out years later the VA screwed them out of a heffty piece of change  the veteran should have the right to get this corrected...but since NO NOD was filled  IT  could be a eat it and forget it deal with the VA.

This is a very informative thread and I'm picking up some valuable tidbits of information.

I found myself being thankful that my work affords me the opportunity to have Adobe Professional. Because of this I am able to capture all my screen shots and convert them to PDFs. 

For thiose that can afford the $14 or so a month, it can pay itself back in situations such as this. I save any change to e-benefits and all my documents are scanned to PDF. It also helps organize and present claims in a consistent and clear format. And, it's very user friendly.

BTW, I have no affiliation to any software companies. I just thought I'd throw this out there.
