BVA sent remand back to regional VA, they failed to follow the judges directions

[retiredat44]

BVA sent remand back to regional VA, they failed to follow the judges directions. They only copied what was in the first denial, and did not meet the conditions of the BVA judge.

They totally ignored al of the injury and chemicals that got me sick. They did not use any of the missing evidence the judge stated in the remand.

I am asking my POA to help me craft a letter to the local VA and BVA, specifically citing areas of failure in the SSOC. 

I know my case is complicated and very lengthy.

 

I worked with chemicals and got sick on active duty. I had skin disease and was also hospitalized for gastritis, while on active duty.

I got sick from jet Fuel, Leaded Gasoline, Diesel Fuel and Trichloroethylene.

 

The denial only listed Jet Fuel, and they never addressed the other chemicals , never, ever, in any response to my claim. Not di they acknowledge my hospitalizations on active duty. All were omitted and never responded to which were also listed by the judge in the remand.

I am also the one who spent six months in a VA hospital with a dying pancreas.

After I moved from San Diego to Oregon, after being treated for 20 years at the VA in San Diego, the care has been lacking and not nearly as good. I am having more complications, so I don't know how much longer before the next medical emergency. I just had one where an artery swelled up that was blocked and I bled internally. I have budd-chiarri disease, Splenic vein thrombosis, and necrotizing pancreatitis, arteries are partially blocked to the heart. The femoral artery from the leg through the goin swelled up badly and bled inside of me. The doctors screwed that up and try to say I has skin infection. but nothing could be found from a scraping and microscopic inspection plus waiting 6 hours in the emergency room, they told me to come back if it happens again. It happed again, this time I took photos and of course my doctor was gone (vacation?) and the fill in doctor was worthless. It showed a very blood red and blistered area where the artery passes from the leg to the body. By the time I drive and sit the swelling goes back down. and leaves blood inside where the vein leaks. The doctors are clueless up here!

The VA is a nightmare here.

 

I would also like to get another IMO. My last one form a Toxicologist doctor was hard to find and extremely expensive.

So for my remand/grant may 2018.  I just finished my last C&P for it and we will see how long this part takes now.  I know it sucks waiting, but there are a few things you could do.

I wrote my senator to get my grant applied.  Which I have noticed every time somethings gets does there is working being done on my case.

I also contacted the WH hotline I also called the BVA regularly to see where my case was at.  

Did you put in for a hardship request?

short answer, yes, the judge asked me too if I asked for hardship and homebound. The POA never helped with any requests like that I had to ask for hardship.. also at the c%p for homebound. My life has either been tied to the bathroom or bedroom.

Since the claim is moving along, I am not going to call those hotlines, it hurts thinking about it all. Like they said, if you don't have mental issues going in, you will coming out.

I didn't type this clear, answer... this happened many years ago.... and learned never to try it again, using an outside source...… nothing today from outside sources...

Current Status

The judge is seeking more information before making a decision

The Board of Veterans’ Appeals is seeking evidence or an outside opinion from a legal, medical, or other professional in order to make a decision about your appeal.

This might be very good.  It looks like they are not just denying your case but looking into the peculiarities.

My HealtheVet is temporarily offline for routine maintenance. We should be back online soon. Thank you for your patience.

I read the comments and encouragement, but I don't answer all. The last bit yesterday looked like it advanced a tidbit more...

You may want to go see the Hospital Director about how your treated in your new VAMC ,how the Dr's are neglecting your questions ect,,,ect,,,

We got a new director and his office door in always open to us vets if we have problems with anything,  he gets things done   hopefully yours will too.

I think next month congress is suppose to pass the outside free care for us veterans that are having problems the VA s not addressing..but as always we will have to wait and see?

I really want to report some problems with the Oregon VA Hospital and doctors, but I need to wait for my claim to get through... I have a horrible story of abuse from them... but, I don't want anything to interfere with my claims.... I am not sure if it would affect them, but am afraid someone could screw me for talking about what they did and got a way with...
