Packet that never arrived by U S mail.

Why might a veteran never have gotten the decision letter on a reversal on a claim that had been denied on service connection on PTSD? 

[Buck52]

i THINK SOME OF THEM VA Employees do not listen to us when we call

I had a veteran get a  Letter of proposal to reduce his benefits  because he did not respond to a C&P then say they sent him?  veteran did not recieve that letter telling him about the C&P?  But he received the reduction letter, the VA wrote him a nasty letter saying that  you got this proposal letter  and you should have recieved the C&P EXAM LETTER FOR THE DATE  OF THE Exam location of the EXAM TIME AND Date ..this Veterans swears he never got a C&P EXAM  LETTER ON SUCH AND SUCH DATE OR HE WOULD HAVE MADE THAT EXAM  WELL THEY SENT HIM ANOTHER PREPOSAL TO REDUCE.

I HAD HIM TO SEEK A GOOD ATTORNEY  AND DO IT WITHIN THE 30 DAYS OF HIS PROPOSAL TO REDUCE LETTER  OR CONTACT THE VA and let them know your appealing this whole shebang

I had the VA in Roanoke send a denial letter to an old address I hadn't lived at in three years. All the other correspondence had been sent to the correct address. No one is going to convince me that this wasn't done on purpose. Everyone needs to keep up with their case and the dates things are due.

I contacted the RO and they told me they knew nothing about the claim.  I sent them a letter with copies of the notification I received on VA.gov.

Ten days later I called again to ask if they received the letter.  They said they hadn't.  The post office never returned that letter to me.  Did the same thing by sending that letter to Janesville.  They answered that they had received my claim for the "Freedom of information".  I hadn't even filed such claim.   All I wanted was a clarification of what was going on and wanted to know the content of the decision letter.  Have not received anything in regards to closing of the appeal having been granted service connection for PTSD on a claim since February of 2013.

I see a name mentioned here "Peggy".  Who might she be?

Peggy is the nick name we use to call the general info line at the VA. 800-827-1000. Not always the most reliable or up to date source of info but may provide some help. Maybe not.

The following notifications were on my VA.gov when I accessed it to refill prescriptions in May of 2020:

issues:  Service connection, Post-traumatic stress disorder      Granted             ("Granted")  in green

Peggy claims to know nothing on this matter, so I'm sittin here speculating with no packet, no correspondence whatsoever.

I have a feeling the RO is under some directive from above to look ignorant of the matter.

Try contacting BVA directly and asking them 1(800) 923-8387 or (202) 565-5436.

Please forgive me but some of the employees that work at the Call Center act like they just started yesterday or they pull a SGT. Schultz’s " I Know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing".
