White house hotline number.

Trump has apparently filled his campaign promise that the whitehouse will hae a hotline for Vets who have been mistreated by VA officials, often from crazy delays.  Here it is, according to Tbird:

855-948-2311 — is designed to “collect, process and respond to the complaints of individual veterans in a responsive, timely and accountable manner,” according to Department of Veterans Affairs officials.

 

Thanks, Tbird.  I have reposted this in order to make it easy for me to find it.

""""" Since VA says they "own " the farmed out C & P exams and pay some non VA medical entity for the exam, The VA will not release QTC or any other farmed out exams until they make a decision. '''

 

ONE HELL OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST wouldnt ya think. ?

 

They play it both ways for example my wife got a VERY FAVORABLE letter from her primary doctor whom she has been seeing for years, regarding a claim that is ongoing.   the VA refuses to  send her for a C$P exam, because they would first have to try and contradict thier own VA doctors opinion. that in iself would look really bad on them, if they try to send her outside the system to get an opposing opinion.  . The RSVR also disregarded buddy statements from officer level troops she  served with.  The raters want to pick and choose what evidence they use and dont use, in order to get the desired outcome, which is usually denial.  We did a formal hearing request and told them when we got there what we wanted, yet they still kept turning the mike off, and were trying to refuse evidence we were submitting. 

 

I bet that MANY of the senior raters and rsvrs with some longevity , are going back and trying to "correct "  the sins of thier past, inserting information that they previously omitted, and many other shinanigans.

I would urge veterans to review your claims files and look for things that have been added or omitted.

YOUR FIRED  isnt just a tv show anymore, its reality for ALOT of   miscreants that have been running wild at the VA for years.  And its about damned time.!!!  Good men and woman have died by neglect, suicide, and suffered needlessly because of the dirty deeds being commited at VAMCs and  ROs. I dont feel sorry for those who get fired at all.

One of the worst parts about the QTC/VES exams is that you have to file a FOIA to get it. They can take a long time and burn up your year to appeal this way. To get a C File takes WAY to long and shouldnt because its all on a computer now. They can stop the game and do the right thing but they wont.
