BVA–vA’S MOST EXCELLENT GRAYBAR HOTEL COMPUTER

Posted on October 12, 2012 by asknod

I have to say that some in the past doubted my word that vA was very inquisitive about your life post-service and often goes afield looking for you or a footprint in the sand to show your passing. The CAVC … Continue reading →

Posted on October 9, 2012 by asknod

BVA– STDS = 98% WILLFUL MISCONDUCT

Posted on October 5, 2012 by asknod

This is pathetic. When they did it to WGM down in Houston, I thought of it as an aberration-stupid but otherwise just a bad hair day for the rater. What we all forget is that the big cheese DRO had to … Continue reading →

BVA–ASKNOD GOES TO DC AND LOSES!

Posted on October 5, 2012 by asknod

Yep. Here I am. I thought I hit this one out of the park. What was I thinking? Apparently they do not allow new evidence to be submitted during the appeal. If they do then they owe me some serious … Continue reading →

BVA–C&P MUST BE SIGNED BY A MD

Posted on October 4, 2012 by asknod

FROM THE FAMOUS BUGTUSSLE, WEST VIRGINIA REGIONAL OFFICE We have seen much and heard even more about Vets who come to us with reports of vA substituting an ARNP, PA or DBC (designated bedpan changer) as the “physician” of choice … Continue reading →

Absence of Evidence is not Negative Evidence

Posted on October 4, 2012 by joeaveragevet

Yes, I know that one is a mouthful. However, how many times have we read where the Veteran was denied because “the record shows no evidence of treatment” for this malady? This is precisely what the vA is doing. They … Continue reading →

BVA–SINGLE JUDGE COURT DECISIONS DO SET PREFERENCE

Posted on October 4, 2012 by asknod

While I have constantly railed at the uselessness of quoting single Judge decisions at the BVA in your appeals, it appears I have been less than forthright. I ran across the decision here this morning and was taken aback. As … Continue reading →

WINNING IS ALSO ABOUT LEARNING HOW NOT TO LOSE

Posted on October 3, 2012 by asknod

I note with satisfaction that a new voice lends itself to the discussion. I welcome that. Nothing gets looked at better than when someone comes along and analyzes how you do it. Fortunately, after building houses for forty years, the … Continue reading →

EARLY CHRISTMAS IN COLORADO

Posted on September 22, 2012 by asknod

Everybody likes to hear the success story. The one that didn’t get away is far more newsworthy than the one that did. So it was with great joy when I came in from gardening last night to find that our … Continue reading →

Big fees for private medical records

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Laura

Thoughts while reading AskNod, Chapter 3, Part C: Collecting the Evidence Ouch, this can get expensive! We’ve spent about $45.00 in copies from private physicians so far. One doctor’s minimum charge is $25.00 yet doctor-to-doctor is free. Mr. K is going … Continue reading →
