Claim Appeal Stalled

Claim Appeals

  

I reported last issue on a veteran who received a notice from the DAV that they didn’t know what his gender was after 40 years. This is ridiculous.

  Now, the same veteran has received a notice from the VA on his appeal that they don’t know who is representing him because there is no representative listed.

  I believe the DAV and the VA both dropped the ball on this one. I don’t know how, but the veteran is service-connected for wounds and it has to be listed somewhere in his claim that the DAV represents him. He had already filed a previous claim using the DAV.

  He called me after he had called the DAV, cussed them out and told them they were killing Nam vets with their lack of help.

  If he had called  me before he called the DAV, I would have told him not to call and cuss them out. You really shouldn’t cuss people out you want to help you.

  I understand his frustration. Nam vets are on the back burner now. Like WW 2 vets, the VA wants us gone. I just read today that the medical field no longer wants to test vets over 75 for colon cancer. This is for insurance purposes, I’m sure. It costs money to keep us alive. The New World Socialist Order wants old working class people, especially veterans they can’t use for service any longer, to die.

  Another article showed unclaimed veteran bodies in the morgues so long before they are buried that the bodies had rotted in the body bags. This is terrible, but nothing is being done about it.
