BVA–OOPS! WE FORGOT THE HEARING, DUDE

Posted on November 8, 2012 by asknod

Imagine waiting around for several years (actually more because it’s Oakland) and then getting the call from the BVA. Of course, all this time you were waiting for the call to attend your requested Board Hearing, not the the decision call. … Continue reading →

BVA–ROUNDUP AT SUBIC BAY

Posted on November 7, 2012 by asknod

Here we go again with those carefully parsed “tactical herbicide” cases as opposed to good old fashioned “nuclear herbicides”. Thus, our good buddy Vet from Fort Fumble in St. Pete’s, with the help of about 4 or 5 buddy letters, … Continue reading →

LUCKY VETS IN WISCONSIN

Posted on November 3, 2012 by asknod

LawBob sends this one to us. I do so hope that the University of Washington (Tacoma) or the University of Puget Sound would institute something like this. On the other hand, I wish Gonzaga made it mandatory in order to … Continue reading →

INJURIES DURING TRAINING NOT SC

Posted on November 2, 2012 by asknod

After reading this article I’m speechless. I’ve been working with member JM on his claim which falls into the same category and he’s being handed the same baloney sandwich. We all signed on the dotted line with no codicils other … Continue reading →

FAST LETTER 09-52

Posted on November 2, 2012 by asknod

Some of you are soon going to run afoul of the strictures of classified operations as I did after the war. This precluded my filing for legitimate injuries in a timely manner. As we used to say “If I tell … Continue reading →

BVA–LIVER TXPLANT+HCV=PYRAMIDING

Posted on October 30, 2012 by asknod

Imagine having a transplant and still being infected with HCV. Hardly a strange scenario. The St. Pete RO must be hardcore. All they want to give Mr. TampaVet is 30% on a post transplant with 10% thrown in for his … Continue reading →

BVA–TRICK OR TREAT FROM NEW JERSEY

Posted on October 27, 2012 by asknod

Here’s a dandy just in time for All Hallows’ Eve. Our Johnny Newark had bad luck at the roulette tables in July. He rolled the dice back in 2001 for HCV and got it for 40%. SMOKIN’! He obviously thought that was … Continue reading →

CAVC–JONES v. SHINSEKI-DIARRHEA vs LOOSE STOOLS

Posted on October 27, 2012 by asknod

Here’s one I’m sure will have interesting implications for Veterans for some time. I’m not being humourous, either. David J. Jones finds himself in a holding pattern on the upwind leg and can’t seem to get tower clearance to land. The Secretary … Continue reading →

VARO–LATEST PLOY TO DELAY/DENY

Posted on October 20, 2012 by asknod

We have been treated to shredding, misconstrual, interminable delays, ignoring our filings, phantom disappearances from the mailroom of unregistered mail, and innumerable other mysteries on our claims. I have told you the bag of tricks is endless and a constantly evolving phenomenon. LawBob … Continue reading →

CAVC–PROCOPIO v. SHINSEKI- AO SPRAYED FROM INTREPID?

Posted on October 17, 2012 by asknod

This one sure didn’t need a panel to figure out. A pair of witching sticks would have led to the water purification device and a quick check of its machinations. Similarly, a cursory examination of the squadrons assigned to the A/C carrier … Continue reading →
