I want to thank the entire group for keeping me on the team and very well informed long after I passed through the crucible of the VA’s Wall of Denial. Without your work, including the publications I elected to obtain from you, nearly free, I would have continued to fail, be denied, and left unsupported. With your help and knowledge, I was able to obtain Individual Unemployability, VocRehab and support for my family. My service may have beaten my body, but your work let me keep my soul. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words John! I am humbled to know the information helped you push through the red tape.
It has been over four years to receive a decision from the BVA. I get very little response to any inquiry I present. Not even a month of which my appeal might be herd.
Watch !
The V. A. gives and the V. A. takes !
What is improved financial compensation rates 🤔, what does that mean ?
well time to lawyer up start giving them that 20% to find out why so many changes only way to know the law is right in front of that judge prison or not . VA MEDICAL IS A SCAM.
As long as we can get VBA benefits and get away from VHA… never have to go back and almost never have to get evaluations done.. we’re good. Just keep the mother fuckers at VHA away from us. Pay them big money to sit on their ass and leave everyone alone for Christ sakes.
AMEN!!!!!!!! Government jobs are guaranteed work from incompetence at the expense of the taxpayer.
There are exceptions to this however few they may be, example being a politician ever here of a intelligent one?
“Disability Law” non-existent at VHA. Disability only a buzzword when the bottom line is they don’t have to treat you unless they feel like it. Offer bandaids to people missing limbs is the equivalent of what they do. It’s a scam.
Yet no one seems to see this or if they do they the PEOPLE do NOTHING “FTV” John Tester is the worst
that holds position as Chair of the VA Committee in Washington
Beware is a understatement here. The VA NEVER DOES THING FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE VETERAN, look at these so call improvements as they develop and compare those to what you have or what you may lose.
NEVER TRUST THE GOVERNMENT OR ITS AGENCIES, MY EXPERIENCE SUPPORTS MY STATEMENTS I HAVE MADE.
