Written Up Appeal For Fee Basis Denial

Dear Fellow Veterans & Friends

For 2 years I was using fee basis because of RO abuse. Without investitgating the abuse or contacting me the VA all the sudden stops fee basis.

In my appeal I show a history of medical retaliaton starting with VA Dr Russel in 1983 saying I should be hospitlized because I was asking legal questons about the Vets Home. 5 years latter the Minnesota Supreme court ruled in my favor regarding those questons and I latter was awarded $200K because of the abuse.

Currently the RO was taking my Dr's notes regarding my comments about the corrupton in the RO. The RO would quote from the Dr notes and then make the sillyest illegal rulings denying my benifits. One example is I spent 22 years on SSD, 10 years in a vets home and VA hospital for my SC disablity. RO gave me 1 year back pay starting from the complaiints I made about RO corrupton. The RO ruled my complaints showed them I was 100%. There were so many slap in the face rulings from the RO that I became affraid to talk to my VA Dr's. Well the RO is just as illegal today as ever and nothing has been done to protect veterans.

I will go without treatment than go back to that abuse.

Fla Viking, I was wondering if they continue to denied your fee basis. Hope they are givin it to you. The VA has committed horrendous crimes against you, but, you have prevailed. The VA dont like people who rocks the boat. I have done my share of rocking the boat, but, gladly I have pay the price. keep up the great job you are doing for veterans and wishing you the best.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
