VA quetion

Rate this question

Question

What if the Va stated that you wrote a statement saying  wanted to remove your mental health claim, but you did not, and later they call you and say they made a mistake on your first C&P, so they send you for another one but will not make a decision on it because they say your claim is up for he board of appeals to have an audio hearing, and the judge will deal with it then. someone else with prior knowledge tells you that the judge will not make a decision on that particular claim because there is no statement of these for it. So I am asking if anyone knows what measure can I take because they are lying??

You have to fight the VA when they lie.  You simply can not trust them.  

Your appeal is "probably not" really withdrawn.  Why?  Well read this:

http://thomasandrewslaw.blogspot.com/2018/06/acree-withdrawing-appeal-and-impact-of.html

In part:

Quote
By requiring that an effective verbal claim withdrawal must be explicit, unambiguous, and undertaken with a full understanding of its consequences, the DeLisio standard provides a bulwark against the inadvertent or uninformed forfeiture of a veteran’s rights.
***
As they traverse the “labyrinthine corridors of the veterans’ adjudicatory system,” veterans may lack a complete understanding of the consequences of claim withdrawal.
***
The need to ensure that a veteran understands the consequences of claim withdrawal is particularly acute when, as here, he suffers from psychiatric illness and appears pro se before the board.

So, was your withdrawal "explicit"  "unambigouous", and undertaken with a full understanding of the consequences?  

I doubt that.  In short, fight them and appeal.  I have the same thing, but it probably wont matter in my case.  

In my case, I withdrew my claim via email.  However, that is probably good, because my attorney could argue that my withdrawal did not meet the "Delusio" standard.

I think you need a VSO or vet rep and also a copy of your C file.

And you can go to www.va.gov, click on the Contact Us Button, then click on Ask a question, (you will be directed to IRIS),fill out the form and then state your problem as you did here.Ask for a email response.

Do you have any document from VA stating any of the above , that you can scan and attach here?

Cover your C file #, name, prior to scanning it.

Just a side bar- Folks I have over 20 years of VA stuff due to my husband's service. Most of it is in plactic totes and in a safe place in my barn.

I try to keep everything in tabbed folders, such as SSA awards, DD214/215, Marriage license, birth certs, et etc etc etc. And divided his stack of medical records by year , into larger folders.

I have documents that are well over 20 years old that were probative to my claims.and still are-

I easily found the documented info I needed for my next CUE and am taking my time to word that properly.

I am not saying you might be unorganized big boy- but you should have some paperwork from VA that says what you said here-and we need to see it-

Will VA Lie? Of course they will- they lied on just about every SOC SSOC  I ever got!

But documentation  and proof can overcome lies.

because they say your claim is up for he board of appeals to have an audio hearing, and the judge will deal with it then"

That means to me you have a denial letter , and need to be prepared for the audio hearing.

Can you scan and attach their denial as to the Evidence list and Reasons they gave for the denial?

Cover C file # and name prior to scanning it.

    • 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.
