Want to understand why VA seem to get eed wrong

Rate this question


Mr cue

Question

It is my believe and experience that the VA are changing docket number after bva remand to them.

It about the wording in the bva remand order.

Bva judge call your appeal issue a down stream issue.

 use the words grant In the first instance.

The board granted the issue with no rating.

The ro Grant 10% your case should be return to the board front of the line if you disagree.

The regional office will start a whole new appeal stream 

All these thing will get the ro to have you new nod VA form 9 to get the appeal return to the board.

When it should be automatic be send back 

Now when you do the nod or form 9 the regional office is taken them an starting new appeal streams.

Now when you bva remand is send back to the board it at the end of the line.

An you are waiting years now say you case gets granted.

The effective date will be the date if the new nod or the VA form 9.

This is my first seeing this move smh.

But I bet this is how they clean up alot of legacy appeal on there books.

Because this new stuff is crazy 

I got  appeal that I been fight since 2019 remand  by the cavc to the bva.

I now have a 2023 docket number I can't make this up.

I am 70000 in line they don't even address it as. Cavc remand anymore Crazy

Yep, substantial compliance.

A remand by the Board or Court confers on the claimant a legal right to substantial compliance with the remand order. Donnellan v. Shinseki, 24 Vet.App. 167, 176 (2010); Dyment v. West, 13 Vet.App. 141, 147 (1999); Stegall v. West, 11 Vet.App. 268, 271 (1998).

 

And I have read where the VA counters a Veteran's substantial compliance argument by using a harmless error argument by saying that they were substantially compliant because the error was harmless to the Veteran.

 

Shinseki v. Sanders, 556 U.S. 396 (2009).  This rule of harmless error stands for the concept that even when the BVA commits an error, if the outcome is not affected by the error -- if it does not affect a substantive right of the veteran -- the error is deemed harmless or non-prejudicial

 

28 U.S.C. §2111. Harmless error

 

I am not a lawyer and nothing I write is legal advice. It is just how things appear to me based on my limited understanding. and I may be incorrect.

VRJake206th I will say you have in light me more to the law on this.

I will be using some of this info when my appeal is return to the board in my arguments

They are not going address it but the cavc will.

Yes I am waiting on the cavc court to address it or denied my writ.

Then I will filing the appeal to the federal circuit court. This will be my first time doing this.

Because I feel this legal questions need to be answer. 

This is a injustice to veterans and is causing undo dely to veterans remands.

I will see if a lawyer wants the case once I fill. If not I will do it alone.

Like me they have remove  my cavc tracking and expidate treatment.

Grove v Nicholson precedent address how cavc remand are to be treated 

My case with the 23 docket number isn't listed as a cavc remand anymore.

They are tell me I have to request to have it advance on the docket again.

This is the 3 advance on the docket due to there errors.

I just want veterans to  be aware of this.

It can add years to a cavc remand or bva remand.

Guess we all understand how all the legacy appeal are disappearing now. An it aint because they are making decisions.

They are cooking the books

    • 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.
