0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted January 19, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2018 The money for our payments is already budgeted. The shutdown would affect monies not budgeted yet, since the reason for it is not having an approved budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Jimmer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 jfrei, brokensolder244th, is 100%. It is "mandated" by federal law that both the V.A. disability payments, and SSA or SSDI payments cannot be stopped if a government shutdown takes place. That means, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Freedom Caucus members, cannot stop the issuing of payments on the 1st of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HorizontalMike Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Unfortunately, it looks like all BVA appeals will be suspended during shut-down. Never mind that the BVA is behind several years as it is... }8-( https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/43654/va-contingency-plan-2017/ Appendix C – Functions to be Suspended Organization Functions to be Suspended VHA None BVA Claims appeals will be discontinued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HadIt.com Elder Lemuel Posted January 24, 2018 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Is delay of contractual services a cause for civil action in your state? I wonder if filing a civil action in the District Court against the extremely delayed and deceptive services provided by the VA in adjudications would stand up as a cause of action in the District Court of your state. I have a Tort Case claiming medical negligence in the District Court for the Wyoming District. The Local Rules and Federal Rules of procedure move things right along. Maybe more of us should find a cause of action and take our cases to District Court. I'm 76 and if it took the length of time to get a BVA Decision from 1992 I'd likely be dead before I can even get an appeal certified out of the Agency of Original Jurisdiction.
