ptsd Service Officer Called...wow!

[Cavman]

I sent many emails over the past few months and have never got an email, call or anything back. Today the SO evidently received my letter terminating his POA and representation and guess what........My wife informed me when I got home from my PTSD treatment that my SO called and said he is doing all he can on my appeal and it is urgent I call him back. Wow, I wonder what he wants?! I`ll never know.

My wife said he sounded desparate and like he wasn`t giving up the claim. I sent him a letter terminating his services and I sent a letter to the VARO telling them. They are just down the hall from the SO. That should terminate the deal right?

A Rescind notice takes time-maybe few days- to get on the books at the VARO-

I learned -if you put the squeeze on a vet rep or SO -you might get better help from them-

what I mean-in your case- this guy was unresponsive to you- you have email documentation of that-

Yesterday I used the fact that I have email documentation from my POA at every level- that shows lack of knowledge basic VA case law and an inference that Dr. Bash's opinion was ignored as it was somehow inappropriate- forget what it said-

No POA has the right to make that determination-

I sent this email to Dr. Bash- his credentials have never been in question-and the VA itself has never "received" his opinions. per Iris response yesterday-

I dont think NYSDVA even knew who he was-they are really far out of the loop on a lot of information.

I have emails to prove I have sent them the latest on numerous VA claims issues -like Haas etc-

The reality is- yesterday the VARO confirmed that none of my IMOs are in my c file-

they have been submitted by me since 2004, and also by my POA-so they say-

My POA is worried now because -as frustrated as I have been over getting all of my evidence ignored-(filed claim in Feb 2003)- there is much more evidence ignored in addition to 3 IMOS-

the VARO itself confirmed -in hard copy-that this POA org did NOT do what they told me they would and it looks like they have lied to me.Many times-

I asked them on their main office letterhead for their version of all this- and told them it will be sent to NVLSP.

I learned that- when you drop a big dime on a SO or vet rep org- they start covering their butts- and this time they have a lot of butt to cover-

I have documented proof from the VA itself that not only has my evidentiary mail to them "disappeared" over the last 4 years, nor has it ever been acknowledged in any SOC, but that it appears my POA is making sure they never see the evidence either.

Your rep sounds scared- I wonder how many other vets dumped him-maybe you should give him another chance- your evidence is solid-

but some orgs like mine and the DAV do have direct access to the VARO-in the same building- and this is a plus-unless they are incompetent wimps or have sticky fingers-

Sometimes it takes a digit up a rectum- from a vet -to get these vet reps and Sos to remove their own thumbs from their rear ends.

Copy their Mission Statement from their web site and make sure if they don't follow it- you will contact their main office.

PS CAVMAN- I ask for email responses (or letterhead snail mail)to everything from my POA-

When I was called by the rep with the latest as to my evidence being presented to the DRO in 2005-by himself personally- the resulting SSOC bears out that this was a lie-as well as the recent IRIS response.

Even his main office boss cannot back up his statement to me.

I always ask for hard copy-from my new rep.

I would really like to be a service officer (unpaid) for some service organization just for something to do and for a place to hang out. The thing is I am embarassed by the organizations in my driving area. VVA is 25 miles away and the AL, DAV, and VFW all have their offices at the VARO. I don't want to go over there since I am IU and it is also 25 miles away. As an unpaid volunteer I would probably be doing the unskilled labor for the lazy VSO's. I have been looking for some volunteer activity to do and have been treated like a dog so far. I can't do the physical stuff. My brain and experience is all I have to offer.

John999,

I think you would be great helping in on of the service centers. Unfortunately even those with best intensions get srewed over. There you would be helping out, and someone would get pissy and decide that if you can volunteer you can work. The next thing is your back fighting claims for yourself because they decided to try and take away your TDIU and lower your rating. It's not worth it.

Maybe you could do some type of in home work over the internet for a not for profit organization. But I'd stay away from giving time to the VA if I were you. I hear Tbird is needing some help here at Hadit.com.

Anybody have a DAV rep and correspond to them via email. I have asked my DAV rep repeatidly for his email address and he has never given it to me, same guy who said (listen to attachment). I think he doesnt want any record of our conversations that why there is no email correspondence.............
