No New AO presumptives?

Rate this question


Berta

Question

I have had a bad cold all week and just started checking my emails....this AM a Florida Newspaper stated that VA had decided Not to add anymore AO presumptives.

They gave no link for that statement. Have I missed something?

This came up on a Google Alert I have had for a long time regarding the potential new AO presumptives the VA Secretary would consider.

Has anyone received any definitive news from the VA or any vet org, that there will be no new AO presumptives in the future?

I need a lawyer at this point, rather than appeal the reconsideration. I was awarded 10% for GERD, 10% for Tinnitis, 10%  for Sinusitis, which is a total of 10% for the three on top of 70% previously awarded the last 3 years for 80% Total. I need a lawyer because they have every intention of screwing like they always have. 

They intentionally lied about my records being lost. They didn’t make a mistake, or misinform, or misspeak, they plain old lied and deceived, with every intention of me dying before now to expose them. Even Vietnam vets that weren’t involved in firefights have a large section of the PTSD segment or awards, but why? The have infectious disease residuals. Hundreds of thousands are diagnosed with PTSD when it it untreated malaria’s. Most of those young doctors had no idea what malaria was or what to look for. Your kids may inherit defective genes from the infectious diseases, not necessarily  your bad attitudes. I had no reaction to Chloroquine, but they used that to get me medivac’d out. To “dump me” because they were lost with Agent O.

You aren’t gonna get the truth without fighting for it, and don’t trust the lawyer either. They like to settle without a fight, and short change you. 

I need a lawyer myself, but one that won’t sell my claim out.

I think these are the latest on A.O. as of 2014 Posted previously by Ms Tbird

Unless the Trump Admin makes more previson on this?

I agree with Ms Berta on the on this

''Stroke is also being considered..if a veteran had had an ischemic stroke and also has a AO IHD rating- it is Highly likely the ischemic stroke would have the same environmental etiology as the heart disease did. I have a letter to that effect to send to the Secretary.''

 

Buck,

I have had 2 ischemic strokes that are documented, along with CAD, atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis, a brain hypodensity 13 x 5 cm with a basal ganglia infarction, a Cerebral cortical infarction, and got a letter a week ago taking me off disability retirement and putting me on regular retirement because I have reach full retirement age. I guess that is the law for everyone?  I’m not any better, but just older, turned 66. 

The longer I live the more I realize just how corrupt the VA is. I thought they had a “good Department”, but I was completely wrong. You can show them a 55 Chevy and they will argue and deny that it is a car and you have no basis for you saying it is and dismissing it. They will claim it is an automobile and cite a hundred articles where it’s called that instead of a car, therefore your claim  of your 55 Chevy is denied, and was never a car, and never produced as a car. 

Thats an ignorant analysis, just exactly like the VA does. 

The Army could not determine the cause of my outbreak of chloracne so they sent me to Japan for more testing to find the cause, and when they couldn’t, they pulled the “Chloroquine Rule” out of their uh, uh, bag of “How to Medically Dump A Patient When YOU Are Over Your Head and Don’t Know WTF to Do Next Book” book. Then after the tests leave numbnuts scratching their heads, they   go ahead and use the ONLY retrodated rule THAT CAN SAVE FACE when you “don’t know WTF to do next” and are over their heads. 

I had no reaction to chloroquine, but was broke out with a papular rash around the eyes and temple, back of neck ears, with swollen ankles, legs, arms, like amyloidosis, urinating blood like kidneys were screwed up, liver and abdominal pain with abnormal liver labs and pain, but “pain” is not a reason for disability the VA told me. The angina and bone pain, and palpitations and erratic heart rates must have been the reason that “over 120 days recovery time” was ordered to get me stabilized. Of course the Army ignored all of that, and put me right to work, skipping the DES and kicking me out for getting exposed to AO.  It’s a dirty job to lie, cheat, mislead, deceive, pervert, and twist the truth, but that’s why we have the VA supervisors, the raters, and VSOs. Somebody’s got to do it, and who’s in a better place than the only people that have the evidence? Nobody. Win + Win for the Army, VA, DoD, and the truth gets buried with the VET.

i guess I am saying that I don’t believe the evidence matters as much as the bonus scumbag raters get. It’s pathetic that the evidence is useless, and the raters are all a POS scum.

If I was you I'd get a good VA Experience claims attorney, if you been denied and filed a timely NOD that's all  you need.

if not you can request to reopen.

and call the washington hot line.  or email the VA SECRETARY OFFICE tell them about all this.

Ms berta has that #   sorry to hear about all this , but never give up  keep fighting them until your last breath.

Buck.

Thanks again. You always have good advice. I did email an attorney and he said vets cannot sue if they were injured in service under the Federal Tort Claims Act per the FERES  Rule or law, something like that. I swear, you just have to guess your way through this process. They all lie to fit the need.

I will call around, but losing faith in Shulkin, and beginning to believe the “SWAMP” has gobbled him up as well. I thought he had some back bone, but maybe he is just a little finger digit in the skeletal system of the government. 

It’s a shame it is so corrupt. Thanks again,

victor Ray
