VETS BEING “UNFAIR” ABOUT FILING CLAIMS

Posted on August 28, 2012 by asknod

Here’s an interesting take on why we have such a humongous backlog. Blame the internet. If all those Vets returning from Iraqistan would quit filing three page lists we could eliminate it (the backlog) next year. Hellooooo? Nobody told us … Continue reading →

VSOs–A MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Posted on August 24, 2012 by asknod

I know you’ve heard me rail about VSOs and how I feel they are a fifth wheel in the claim. I do know some who have helped but that is postscripted by the Veteran holding the halter. Here is a … Continue reading →

THOMAS BANZUL–VETERANS FOR COMMON SENSE–QUESTIONS?

Posted on August 23, 2012 by asknod

Read this and weep. This is why I am proud to have a Vietnam Veteran driving my claim boat, ladies and gentlemen. Thomas Banzul is cut from the same bolt of cloth as Bob. Sadly, our numbers dwindle faster than … Continue reading →

Horse Trading

Posted on August 21, 2012 by joeaveragevet

I will see your “tinnitus 10%” and raise your 30% PTSD. Are you “all in”? Whose money is the VA gambling with? The Veteran’s? Is this what they call “Liars Poker”? I have heard of this before where the VA rater/rep … Continue reading →

HEY– YOU VETS ARE EXPENSIVE!

Posted on August 12, 2012 by asknod
