CAVC–BATSON V.SHINSEKI– CURED HEP=NO DICE

Posted on August 1, 2012 by asknod

Much has been published here about representing yourself. When the evidence is so dispositive as to leave no room for doubt, we advocate it wholeheartedly. This is always true but only up to a point. When going before the CAVC, … Continue reading →

CAVC–BRIA V. SHINSEKI–POOR NEXI ALL AROUND

Posted on June 19, 2012 by asknod

It’s rare to be able to go back and unearth the BVA decision that leads to the CAVC but I’m getting better at sleuthing these out. The dead giveaway is the the date of the decision. That and the fact … Continue reading →

WRITS OF MANDAMUS–USEFUL?

Posted on May 8, 2012 by asknod

Several times in the past year I have been queried about using a writ for extraordinary relief. The CAVC has this power and exercises it infrequently, preferring to see the VA somehow muddle through at their snail’s pace. This is no panacea to Vets who have … Continue reading →

CAVC–CAVAZOS v SHINSEKI

Posted on April 30, 2012 by asknod

These are the decisions we love and hate. We love them because its always nice to see the underdog go up against Goliath pro se. We hate it because of the inordinate time wasted pursuing something that can never be … Continue reading →

BVA- A≠B≠C=SPECULATION?

Posted on April 25, 2012 by asknod

Imagine arriving at the RO with all the goodies. Disease? Check. Disease in service? Check. Nexus? Got them (2). Good to go, right? Caluza Triangle-Hickson Elements- everything’s copacetic. Back the boat back up to the dock and refuel it, Gilligan. … Continue reading →

CAVC–MORRIS v. SHINSEKI

Posted on April 7, 2012 by asknod

I always admire Vets for going it alone. Here, Mr. Kenneth L. Morris has chosen to go all the way up the ladder to the CAVC for justice. The problem is that his grasp of law is deficient. When we assay … Continue reading →

68% Of Americans With HCV Are VETS?–HUH?

Posted on March 6, 2012 by asknod

Member Loyal points out some interesting percentages in my last post : I dispute the logic here: “Dr. Stevens estimated the current in-service occurrence of hepatitis C at approximately 10%”; Since this Veteran has a current diagnosis of Hep C, … Continue reading →

CAVC– KATH v. SHINSEKI–NO RETROSPECTIVE EXAMS

Posted on January 29, 2012 by asknod

Richard P. Kath filed for hep in 1978. As with most of us, he didn’t know the program and received a denial slip. He didn’t appeal, but it appears he refiled in 1980. He got the same treatment from what … Continue reading →

BVA–BUILDING A CLAIM? HIRE THE CARPENTER

Posted on January 22, 2012 by asknod

Before I begin, I wish to inform Miss Manners, who excoriated me for my incorrect capitalization of “Veterans” in the middle of a sentence, that it is my habit to do so. For your edification, I do this because we … Continue reading →
