I now got a letter from the BVA asking me if I have anymore info for my appeal and now I'm writing a letter stating where the actual problem is and attaching 30 pages of diagnoses from my hospital stay saying I suffered a skull fracture at my clivus which they still may call a neck disabilty. But with that it doesn't cause neck issues just nerve damage and VBI damage not sure if there's a DBQ for that because the neck DBQ does not include anything testing relating to our clivus since it's at the base of our skull. I am hoping when I get a new Neurologist in Dec I can get testing done to see if I have any residual damage to that area which could cause my already Service connected dizziness and lightheadedness, id rather get the point to have them combine with the skull fracture (under appeal

They can keep denying all they want this is just one of thirty discussing my injuries from the TBI and the other page shows if their was damage to the clivus which causes injuries to your VBi what it can cause. I don't understand how the RO can deny what's their in black and white the BVA already said grant my sTBI and any and all other related injuries such BS. Now you all can see I had a few issues that persisted after my TBI although I was able to make it back to active duty I basically had a inspector to make sure I didn't leave stuff on aircraft and this also continued even when they decided why not deploy in to Afghanistan so again off in the heat I went. I was told had I forgetten my keys in his office one more time he would not have cleared me to deploy. Apparently that's all it takes to clear medically. Don't get me wrong I loved serving my country overseas and wouldn't trade the experience I had just wish it didn't have a single consequence..the only thing I look forward is a day I awake with out a headache but that happens roughly twice a month.

This is how the RO decided it was ok to change my claim not happening I found the Doctors trauma notes... I'm only sending about 15 pages of the notes they didn't even know where the fracture was but I do now....

   I keep seeing my diagnosis made by many, many VA doctors and surgeons altered by the VA claims and appeals process. Example, I had/have a large cyst on my pancreas and ended up with necrotizing pancreatitis. Plus six months in the VA hospital fighting for my life and then homebound and in a wheel chair for another year. Also may other medical diagnosis including Budd-Chiari disease. And much, much more. Some of the people working at the VA have changed the words to chronic pancreatitis, not even close to necrotizing. The surgeons diagnosed me 100x with it, no wiggle room for a different diagnosis. But, often I find them altering my records. I have caught the emergency room flat out lying tooo at another VA I go to, and I had along meeting with my doctors about some of the many abuses I get. I can't even start to list al of the lies and problems. My BVA case is on the second remand back to the R.O. because they never followed the BVA judges orders. I am so jaded I don't see any good coming only the same problems and more. There are no consequences for the bad people in the VA. IMHO

    • 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”

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
