I don't understand why does VA even cosider the reason for the Social sercity office disission. I mean if my husaband get 60% s/c disabilties and PT unemployabilty and now we called to find the results of the 1151 and they stated the only reason that its being held up is because of the documents from Social security which to let you know was denied and is in a ppeal also.

why does socail sercity not use the VA evaluaton but yet the VA is interested in why they denied his Socail security it states that VA and SS is two diffrent definitions of disabilities. Is there anything I can do and also please help me understand why this is fair. Social sercurity doesn't care if my husband gets VA and doesn't help him to get Socail Security and its diffrent with the VA they want to know why he didn't get social sercurity. This just makes me so angry. What are they going to reveal? they are both two diffrent enities. Help me!

Tammy, it's also possible that VA wants to see whether SocSec classes your husband's back as a deformity or injury. If SS also calls the back a deformity, this would reinforce VA's evaluation. They could then play hardball with confidence.

You know they don't have any doubt that his back was broke at all, they are disbuting his IBS, and because he was able to work for the rail road, for a while. So, why does this matter? I mean the thing is William has never had a workers comp an accident or anything no law suits, no damages to his back. He was good going into the service and a mess coming out. Besides isn't the ruling for social security disablilty diffrent than difinitaion than the VA's definition? Thank you.

"they are disbuting his IBS, and because he was able to work for the rail road, "

Did they propose to reduce a SC rating for his IBS?

Are they waiting for documents from the SSA administration because they have something to do with his IBS?

It seemed that your post meant the Sec 1151 claim is being held up by waiting for these SSA records?

"why does socail sercity not use the VA evaluaton but yet the VA is interested in why they denied his Socail security it states that VA and SS is two diffrent definitions of disabilities. Is there anything I can do and "

You could try to get a SSA lawyer and for a fee maybe they could help with the SSA matter- also there is a link here somewhere for ALLSUP,Inc.-

these are disability specialists who can assess his SSA potential and then if they take case, there is a fee, -they advertise that their success rate is 97% on SSA claims they accept.

Sec 1151 claims need-

Bonafide medical proof of additional disability

and bonafide medical proof of malpractice or any form of medical negligence that caused the additional disability.

It took almost 4 years for my Sec 1151 claim to succeed.

They already had it for 2 years as Rod filed it and I re-opened.So that is 6 years in all.

I used the VA's own medical evidence in the veterans records to prove malpractice.

They made numerous attempts to deny with VA med opinions.

It involved a lot of study on my part to prove my case and knock down their VA med docs.

Unless you have time to do all that ( I spent lots of time in medical libraries and always had stacks of medical books by my bed. I had a lot on entries to decifer and do not have a medical background) I suggest getting an IMO for Sec 1151 claims.

    • Are all military medical records on file at the VA?

      RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,

      I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      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.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      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:
