VARO 346– 40% MORE- HE’S HIGHLY OVERRATED

Posted on April 10, 2015 by asknod

In a never ending cascade of ratings, VA has now bequeathed upon me an additional 40% for cryoglobulinemia and fibromyalgia. As inane as this may sound, I don’t want or need the ratings. It’s not a prerequisite for any more money … Continue reading →

CAVC–BOND V McDONALD–IMPLICIT DENIAL REQUIREMENTS

Posted on April 8, 2015 by asknod

I’ve been waiting for a good decision-not necessarily a precedential one- that illustrates the concept of implicit denial. Judge Kasold, not my favorite Judge at the CAVC, defends this concept in his affirmation of Mr. James E. Bond’s (no relation … Continue reading →

CAVC– DWYER V. SHINSEKI–DEAD SKUNK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

Posted on April 3, 2015 by asknod

Here’s a wonderful single judge decision on Hepatitis C/HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) jurisprudence. Ms. Dwyer should never have been subjected to this effrontery. The BVA weenies sent this thing out to get a clarification on “at least as likely as not” … Continue reading →

ILP–LZ GOLF HOTEL 1- SPRING
