I am so mad it will get fix be I don't feel like go threw more issues.

VA "fully deserves" their reputation as not being trustworthy to Veterans.  Unfortunately, "the VA" is not "the only" government agency to ever have that reputation.  Bill Clinton set a precendent.  When the former president was confronted by the DNA evidence from Monica Lewinski's dress, AFTER, the pressident said,, "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH MONICA LEWINSKI". ... 

THE ENTIRE SCANDALL TURNED INTO A "NOTHING BURGER", ENABLING EVERY POLITICIAN TO LIE ABOUT ANYTHING AND NEVER BE PROSECUTED, EVER.  SO, a politician can lie about anything, and, even if caught, nothing ever happens.

Well had a better day at the court today.

The VA has ten day to answer my 

There is no decision. They withdraw it based in the statement.

ORDERED that the motion disputing the RBA is held in abeyance. The Secretary shall 
advise the Court, within 10 days after the date of this order, and every 10 days thereafter, what 
action the Department has taken to resolve the dispute. If the parties reach an impasse, the 
Secretary shall notify the Court. These proceedings are stayed until further order of the Court. 

Ok let see what the VA come up with now

Mr. Cue

           Your pain is our gain since you are leading the way on this issue.  Glad you share it with us.  I fought with the bastards for almost 50 years.  To a degree the benefit of doubt does help with the usual and random claims of vets, but anything where vet seeks real justice he will get the shaft.

Man it's like every process is now a thing with the VA.

Ok I get the record if the agency from the VA sat. In one of the case.

Now the record come with sometpye of code for pro SE veterans to access it.

Well as all ways mine doesn't work.

Ok I have 14 day to dispute the record.

An I can even get in it.

Now I had to put in a motion to extend time for me to respond to the rba.

Oh forgot the VA lawyer can talk to me about my own case and I am pro SE is what I am been told.

More game to make a veteran who can't get a lawyer give up.

Or miss a deadline.

I am just venting. It will get address by the court now this is 2 week gone because of my record.

The other case is held up because of a dispute with the record also.

But I have to put in motion to the court for the court to tell the va there a problem with the record.

Then wait for the VA to respond in ten days.

When a simple phone call can get all this fix crazy

I had the opportunity to talk with a VA lawyer a year or so ago regarding the S-DVI premium waiver for totally disabled veterans. It took months just to get them on the phone. They were generally friendly and we spent literally about three hours on the phone debating each other. However, they were wrong (in my opinion) and had to go look up things in the US Code and 38 CFR that they apparently were not familiar with. They gave me the usual "it's the way the VA always did it" response after me proving them wrong on a number of points. My CUE is still pending at the BVA.

I hope your case is resolved in your favor.

    • 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.
