Odd lawsuit against a RO Director


Berta

Question

https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/2018/08/17/vietnam-veteran-files-federal-lawsuit-against-louisiana-va-office-director/1000004002/

It isn';t FTCA but I put it here anyhow-

this vet must have had the worse vet rep or VSO that ever lived-

or he and his wife did not properly prepare the claim.

Why they want to give up on the comp is beyond me-but there are few details in this story.

Another odd lawsuit against VA:

https://flarecord.com/stories/511535231-veteran-listed-as-dead-sues-federal-government

In part:

"According to the complaint, after Hernandez reported his father's death to the VA, the agency mistakenly listed as Hernandez himself as deceased. From there, the effect on Hernandez's quality of life worsened. 

“Plaintiff’s benefits from the VA and SSA were immediately revoked," the complaint states. "Plaintiff’s bank accounts were frozen, his credit cards cancelled, Bank of America stopped accepting his VA benefits, and sent a letter of indebtedness to Plaintiff’s next of kin.”  

Hernandez alleges that he repeatedly tried to clear up the matter to no avail. The VA and the SSA were unable to solve the problem. Equifax listed Hernandez as deceased on credit reports sent to other companies. "

“Equifax sold Plaintiff’s credit reports to subscribers without proper procedures in place to ensure Plaintiff’s reports were being sold for permissible purposes,” the complaint states.  

 

Mistakes or negligence by the VA, the SSA and Equifax exacerbated the problem, the suit argues.
