I Think Not

[63Charlie]

 

Instead of developing evidence for the feet and ankles claims I recently filed (neuropathy, secondary to my service connected pes planus and arthritis), the VA now wants me to have a General Examination by QTC.

Makes no sense at all to me.

I'm not interested in having the VA open all my P&T disabilities to scrutiny because I filed these new secondary claims.

Anyone have some solid advice to offer?

My point is not degenerate the other veteran such as statements like "put down your diapers" I don't see where that gets anyone anywhere helpful.

if you truly believe that another veteran offers you no value and only aggravates you, you do have the option to ignore them. 

Maybe I am over reacting. You tell me.

Sorry. Don't know if I can say hell but more words than mine are on public TV.

Personally, I would not refuse an exam.

Sorry. Thought maybe you have more insight that is more advantageous for VA and less for the vets. I do understand that your job requires you to quote go by the books, but your higher up don't. I have read case studies for my same situation, I have proven same to include imo. Still denied. You address how things go at your location. You work for the same office/division. When people bashes the VA, guess what, you are a part of that system. You quote regs and laws, but higher up ignores the regs and laws. Who side are you on? Your 100 percent p&t and another job to make ends meet or help vets that are struggling and you just keep shouting out regs. Some people get where they want to be in life but man, I am going to make it harder for others. 

Put down your diapers and pull up your rifle and help Vets.

Very good @Tbird.  Great response on reiterating the rules and or regulations. However, if we have any direct relationship with the VA such as an employee, your occupation should be just your business. Why are we posting as to where I work and what I do and look for. 

How about, hey whodat, look at this reg, quote this reg. Not well I look at reviews all day and the Vets mess up by doing this. Hell, the vets that are doing it improperly are not members of Hadit. What good is it doing for Hadit members. 

I noted that I was an employee because, while you may not appreciate that I work for 'the man', some others might. Who would you rather hear something from, Joe at the VFW or a VSO that may not have bothered to update themselves in years, or someone that actually works within the system that you are asking about? Take a vote- kick me out, I don' t care. I was assisting with claims long before I worked for the VA, both on and off the internet.  If everyone on Hadit did everything right, Hadit wouldn't be here. I tell where vets do it wrong so you don't do the same thing.

Great point broken. I have also worked for the man and very proud of it. My passport is red. 

I have worked for the man when I have joined the military for 21 years. Taken bullets for the man. Then I continued working for the man for 12 additional years as a GS 1712-12 step 7. But I have never bragged about it on this or any site. I am here to help. Not bragg. I have done more things in my life than most vets. 

I have been to North Korea to recover remains from the Korean war. Don't bragg. Desert shield storm calm oef oif Vet. Don't bragg.

Since you asked, I will reply.

When I posted results of some of my appeals you private messaged me on this board wanting my personal identification information so you could "help" me.

Did you not?

Furthermore, for you to go into my claims file is against the rules, even if you ARE a VA employee.

Finally..I did not provide any of my personal info (SS #, etc.) to you, nor have I ever given you consent to look into my claims folder.

Take it for what it's worth.
