We can file this one under C for Cognitive Brain Disorder. I know I forget a lot of stuff. My wife constantly reminds me of that. If you file a claim, you must have a game plan. An integral part of this should include a time line to refer back to every once in a while. This will aid in keeping your facts and the story line in sync with one another. One of the problems with not telling the truth is that you actually have to remember which lie you told to whom. Over a decade or two this becomes blurred and confusing. VA has come up with a handy analog repair order and it is generally infallible. They write it down. Everything you claim, everything you did that was medically stupid, drugs you used that were not prescribed, etc. was recorded for you in case your memory became fuzzy. Here, the Vet is being called out on it. It will cost him his compensation claim. More importantly, he will remember that he made a big boo-boo when he decided to take on the VA. On a good day,sober, you will have a hard time beating these jokers. Don’t try it after roasting a bowl with your buddies and then dragging out the 21-4138 and remembering it from your standpoint. Ain’t gonna happen. Wishwampum. Dreambucks.Dead in the water Dollars. Questions?
