Posted on December 11, 2020 by Laura

I’m glad this has finally passed the Senate (Link). If you want Pres. Trump to sign it right away, tweet him @realDonaldTrump. Too many vets have died waiting for this. “WASHINGTON — A measure was included in the final version … Continue reading →

THE DAY AFTER THE DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

Posted on December 9, 2020 by asknod

December 8th is an easy day to remember. For all of you, it’s merely a follow-on to the first horrific sneak attack on America. Oddly, in some respects, that’s identical to how a lot of spouses feel about having their … Continue reading →

REINVENTING THE LEGACY APPEALS PROCESS–THE ROSETTA $TONE

Posted on November 24, 2020 by asknod

Happy Thanksgiving to all you morose, unhappy campers. I’ll let it go at that. This reminds me of Hunker in the Bunker in 1970 when Capt. Charles decided to drop a few B40s and some 60s on us at 0200 … Continue reading →

MAKING YOUR IMO COUNT

Posted on November 8, 2020 by asknod

Lordy. After twenty five years, you would think everybody got the email/text on Caluza v. Brown (1995) including its numerous progeny. Once again, I greet yet another fellow traveler of the treadmill on the VA’s Wheel of Sorrow. Whether it … Continue reading →

ILP CHICKEN DINNER WINNER–HALLOWEEN TREAT

Posted on October 31, 2020 by asknod

Greetings fellow VA trick-or-treaters. I don’t have a lot of claims like these because, well, it’s pretty hard to collect 20% of a greenhouse or a sleep number bed from VA on a holdback. It’s even harder to get any … Continue reading →

BVA HEARINGS INFO-TRAVEL BOARD AND VIDEO

Posted on October 8, 2020 by asknod

I received a NOVA update on how the Appeals backlog at the Board is faring. I’d give it (progress) a so-so on a scale of 1-10. Corovirus 20 aside, it seems the pesky backlog of Legacy Appeals continues to fester. … Continue reading →

THE ZEROES FOR HEROES CLUB

Posted on October 4, 2020 by asknod

Shut the front door. I thought I’d seen everything up to now. I’ve repped a 94 year old Marine and got him 100% for Bent Brain. I’ve done R2s and §1151s but this one is a daisy. Johnny Vet’s wife … Continue reading →

BVA–WINNERS AND LOSERS

FORT FUMBLE SEATTLE–I HOPE YOU HAD THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

Posted on September 12, 2020 by asknod

Today marks the first time I’ve woken up to a yellowish, smoky overcast with no sun since Vietnam. It finally made an anemic showing this PM. The only thing missing was the oily petroleum-like aroma of burnt nape, CS and … Continue reading →
