LHI C & P EXAMS

Rate this question

Question

  • Moderator

After fighting the VA for months to get a copy of my LHI C & P exams, I just found out that the only way to get a copy of those exams to my VAMC medical records, I have to take a copy to my primary care provider and then have them to have the records scan into my VAMC records. The ROI (Release Of Information Office) refused to take them and copy them. The ROI even refused to request a copy from the VARO. More shenanigans from the VA. 

My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.

Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.

I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

Yes, I understand but my point was that I already went to my C & P exams, and they support my claim. With having equal evidence in your records puts your claim in relative equipoise. That simply means both negative and positive evidence of records without even filing a CUE claim, and that means the veteran wins.  Yes, we have been around for a little while, my old name was honestpete992. Less than a month when I came to hadit.com I was rated/awarded 100% scheduler and these appeals has been to the BVA and the CVAC and they date prior to the VA granting my 100% rating so I knew it would be just a matter of time to get them back to the BVA. In the meantime, I have been granted service connection and increased to decreased to a restored rating and finally waiting for my final grant. Since these are legacy claims, they take a little longer, but I feel that the fight is almost over and the new LHI C & P exams just put that nail in VA's coffin.

IMHO(IN MY HUMBLE OPINION), we have to learn what battles to fight. My appeals have been going on for years and one for two decades. No big deal, the VA just granted me a 1998 effective date and the only part I disagree with is the rating percentage. The other is for an effective date but my new LHI C & P exams just further support my claims. I think that with most claims, prior to the board or the local VARO will want a new C & P exam within maybe six months to ensure that the veterans’ disabilities has not gotten better. Since I knew my conditions/disabilities were about the same to worst, I just went with the exams. Not going to an exam just holds up your claim and the VA can use that non-exam to deny your claim or say that you were uncooperative. I don't want the VA to have any excuse to delay or deny my claim. Heck, I think they have been going on long enough and if the simplest way to get them to make a decision, I would go to the exam.

Well, my friends, I am only hoping that the board does the right thing. I have had my claim go to the board and then turned around and to deny my claim before, so I am just hoping that they review my evidence and make the right decision, or I will have to find a NOLO Attorney and take my claims back to the CAVC. We all know that for some reason the local VARO will not grant some claims forcing the veterans to file an appeal but when the local VARO ignores their own C & P examiners opinion is something totally different. They did not disagree with my new C & P exams they just continued my ratings as is and not even addressing my request for an EEDs. I am hoping that the board resolve these issues and not remand my claims. Since the new C & P exams support my disagreement, I can only hope.

Buck, this is what I am hoping for, a positive outcome of my final appeals. Since my recently LHI C & P exams supports my original arguments/disagreements, I am just hoping it goes well.

    • 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.
