Ok here is the whole decision on smc s and l

Rate this question


Mr cue

Question

I have posted the cavc set a side order.

This the bva decision after the remand.

Now the bva has only address the period from when I apply for smc.

I got denied housebound by fact for the same reason as Howell v Nicholson.

Because I was able to travel to medical appointments. Smh 

Guess the bva judge never read Howell v Nicholson.

Not one piece of my evidence before 2018 was even address in this bva decision.

Then the crazy part in the history they just run my disability together.

They never address that the buffalo ny regional never cretifed my appeal in 1993.

The court allow the the va to stage rate me from 1993-2001 20% for neck. 20%elbow/hand.

I was give extra schedulers tdiu from 1993-2001.

Because I was granted tdiu 2001 based on the neck 60%pt. And have never work since service.

all done to not address my smc in the proper light.

Well the last thing they remove this issue from the cavc remand docket and legacy appeal system.

An put me in the new ama system I never opt in.

Now I get a decision on my cavc remand tell me I can request a supplement review.

And I have a new 2021 docket number for a appeal that start 2018.

Well I will win the smc s they just kill there self by denied it because I can go to doctor appointments.

I will win the effective dates once the court address there errors.

Guys confine to one home is not been able to leave your home to make a income.

That the law under Howell v Nicholson.

I got TDIU in 2001.  About 8 years later I got an extra 60%.  I did claim "S".  The VA did not award me "S" when they should have but they did call a CUE on themselves and I got a couple of years retro.  I would not hesitate to claim S if you are entitled.  Since that time I have gotten an extra 80% and gone to 100%.  Don't back off or worry about doing the right thing for yourself.

Ok is  here is my bva granted for extra schedulers tdiu.

Smc was never inferred in my case.

The bva has understood I have been housebound since 1993.

The bva has understood that I need help of other since 2001.

All my loss of use was never address for smc purpose.

Ok this is why I am frustrated.

The board understand all this but they refuse to address anything.

Smc benfits are effective by you record and granted by your record.

I have a 25 year record but they keep refusing to address it.

Yea I been do my homework I will be to the point this time at the court.

Being confined at home gives you a lot of time to get through this. I imagine you have done a lot of reading and studying on these cases which is a good thing. Just remember you have to live, to have things in your life that bring you joy and happiness and not the anxiety and frustration of teaching turkeys how to fly.

I know the obsession we can get into doing this, so I understand some about what you are going through. I think a good lawyer would probably have resolved this long ago because they have access to the governments lawyers and judges unlike we do pro-se. On the other hand, the work is a job for you I think and you have done very well filtering through all of the mess the VA created and winning. Gratz~~!!

I would agree this could of been done long ago and I don't believe a lawyer would change anything..

 I won the court remand.

The court told they to address and earlier time period.

Now it get back to the bva and they act like they can read or understand there own law and  va manual.

I am not ever tell a veteran not to use a lawyer.

Its just not for me after the things I seen and had happen 

Once I found out my appeal remain in appeal status from service. 23 years old 2 kids and a wife pay 98.00 a month.

When they were aware I could work

 

An the VFW the American legion the dro never told me. I been solo

 

I have not fought with the va since 2009. When I won the tdiu

I took a 10 Year break off

Believe me if I did need the in home care now I would be doing and going back and forth with them now.

But I was disabled at 23 I never worked I apply for ss and medicare.

Told I don't have work credits.

I will never get Medicare or Assist with  my need of in home care from anyone.

 so  how am I to pay for it.

I Go to the va hospital they give me 2 day a week tell me that all the budget.

Under the homemaker program.

 

So I guess I can only get dress 2 days a week.

So yes I fight my case hard because as you can see by the bva decision.

The va understand I have never work and will not be getting any ss or Medicare and that I need in home care.

The court has told them to address it.

An I still sit here with no decision on smc o and r.

Crazy part my case has been advance at every level because of my need of in home care.

See the va understand this is a smc r case.

There is something called a SS Freeze that will set aside the years you did not work due to disability. Just applied for my spouse, will not know if the approve it for 2-3 more months. She went through a MST that resulted in PTSD, with a severe startle response, anxiety, etc...she has not worked since 84 when we both left the Army. The idea is that they should award you benefits based on the work record from when you became disabled, which was when you were 23, and based on the work credits you had then, you would qualify if they approved the freeze.

you might look into this

    • 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.
