FED CIR–TYRUES V. SHINSEKI–GOING DOWN?

Posted on April 16, 2012 by asknod

This is a wonderful thing. Larry G. Tyrues filed an Appeal with the Court back in 2009. Unfortunately he was a little bit late with the NOA. The Court, as is their wont on all matters tardy, declined to hear … Continue reading →

BVA–NO AO IN THAILAND

Posted on April 13, 2012 by asknod

This is an unfortunate decision for the Vet. He should have done some research on his claim before filing. The fact that he had the MOPH repping him is not going to help. Hell, they should have known better. Cellulitis … Continue reading →

BVA–VIA THE PAUL REVERE RO

Posted on April 11, 2012 by asknod

This is a great decision. It’s not a defining moment in Solomon-like  judicial arbritration but it is refreshing to see a VLJ with an open mind. So many act like sheeple and fail to do their homework on these. When handed … Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2012 by asknod

As if it weren’t a joke on us last year, imagine Wild Bill Heino paying his filing fee and taking this up to the 3rd Federal Circuit. Scarcely a year later, on April 4th, Mr. Heino and that inimitable humor … Continue reading →

REQUIRED READING FOR NEXUS

Posted on April 9, 2012 by asknod

Anyone even contemplating representing themselves would be a fool not to read every word of this document from the Veterans Law Review. It has everything at your fingertips for arguing down VA’s “nexus” successfully. That VARO examiners/adjudicators regularly subvert the … Continue reading →

Squidly’s HCV SSOC

Posted on April 8, 2012 by asknod

Squid sent this over today. My, what a fine piece of judicial work. Although Squidly was waiting for his nexus letter to arrive, I counseled him to get this on the road to D.C. via a Board hearing. We both … 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 →

Extraschedular Rating Granted

Posted on April 6, 2012 by asknod

Member Loyal sent this one in. It’s a 2012 decision, too. It’s very unique for two reasons. The first being the Director of Comp. and Pensions denied the Vet  for the extraschedular and then the VLJ promptly overturns the decision. … Continue reading →
