BVA– AO At Fort McClellan RVN

Posted on April 26, 2012 by asknod

I always thought Fort McClellan was in Alablama. Seems they did some “non-tactical” deployment of AO, AW and AB (in small quantities) there in the late sixties. Does this surprise anyone? Just how soon do you think it will come … 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 →

BVA–Worthless VA Medical Opinions

Posted on April 21, 2012 by asknod

As I get older, I read BVA HCV decisions and see errors so egregious they make my hair stand on end. What passes for Independent Medical Opinions requested by BVA VLJs to facilitate adjudications is going downhill rapidly. The following … Continue reading →

M E AS FACT FINDER

Posted on April 20, 2012 by asknod

This popped up on the Vet’s law library site a few weeks ago and it caught my eye. If you are reasonably good at digesting legal theory, this baby will give you cites and precedence to quote until you win. There’s no … 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 –CHLORACNE WIN

Posted on April 13, 2012 by asknod

This is the only win I’ve ever seen on Chloracne. It, like PCT and subacute peripheral neuropathy are those rare items you hear about like extraschedular ratings. You know they exist on paper in 3.309(e) but have never actually met … 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 →

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 →
