BVA-Roadmap to nowhere

Ladies and Gentlemen Vets, this is a classic example of a frivolous filing. This Veteran has unfortunately had some problems in the past with drugs. It is unfortunate that he suffers. I think any caring person would have sympathy for his plight. The rules for compensation are rather cut and dried on the subject of remuneration for willful misconduct. I hope this sheds some light on filing claims when your case file, both VA and Military, is riddled with evidence of a negative nature. This Vet was represented by the DAV and I believe he should have been given an honest assessment of his chances of winning prior to wasting his, the VA’s, and the DAV’s time. Not to mention how many trees they had to cut down to manufacture the paper for this insanity. Simply put, I believe everyone should have their day in court with the caveat that their claim has merit. We all wait patiently in a line for our turn at the gold ring. Some claims turn on a subjective interpretation of regulations, events, and medical proof. This contains none of the above and simply clogs the system.
