Veterans Administration is being sued for:

Conspiratorial Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law

and

Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

Filed in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho, on March 1, 2007 at 11:48 AM, this case has not yet been assigned a case number.

Veterans need HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of Veterans and family members to sign on to this action to force it to remain live and to force positive improvement into the VA!

It is necessary to swamp the court with Veterans’ demands to be added to this litigation in order to deprive this court of the option of “sweeping this issue under the rug.” Any Veteran or any family member of a Veteran who has been negatively effected emotionally by VA failures or refusals to properly treat the Veteran can become a class member of this litigation.

To add yourself as a member of the class and claim a portion of any resulting damages awarded – there is no filing fee for this – send the following letter to Cameron Burke, USDC Court Clerk, 550 W. fort St., MSC 042, Boise, ID 83724.

“Cameron Burke, Court Clerk:

I wish to be added – as a member of the named class – to the litigation Gary Kendall v US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, Et Al filed on Thursday, March 1, 2007 at approximately 11:48 AM.

I am reserving the right to amend the respondents listing and the original complaint as the specifics of my complaints are more fully developed during discovery or hearing.”

Be sure to gain a notarization of your signature, keep a copy for your own files, and email Gary Kendall at gary001ok@....

You will be added to the update list and kept appraised of the progress of this litigation.

As Veterans demanding improvement changes within the VA that recognizes our honorable service to this nation – and more importantly will force the VA to properly treat our fellow future Veterans, we all have this opportunity to respond within the next thirty days and move this issue into a class action with several hundred or over a thousand named Veterans as members of the class.

It is time that we showed the VA and the US Congress that we will settle for nothing less from the VA than 100 percent fast, friendly, fulfillment of Veterans’ Congressionally mandated rights!

Will you join your voice to this demand?

If you get a Docket Number please let us know-

I would love to read the actual complaint he filed.

There is a lot involving USDC lawsuits.

How did he determine the jurisdiction of the federal court on this?

I googled this vet as a veterans activist but found nothing on him.

Is this his whole email addy? gary001ok@....

Is he a lawyer?

I am not saying this isnt legit but there is More to Class Action than this- when I filed a complaint in USDC against the DAV I tried to do it on behalf of all adversely affected veterans and widows.

I tried to explain to the judge that this was an established Class of individuals,

that VA published decisions at the BVA and CAVC supported that others were adversely affected as well as me,with DAV on their brief,

and some other stuff too I forget-

However the District Court Judge told me I could NOT-as a Pro se litigant- include anyone else as class action.I could only procede on my own individual complaint.

If this vet is an attorney - then I would imagine he supported this complaint for Class action status to be determined by the court.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

    • 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 – 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”

    • 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:
