Just logged into E benefits. My comp. claim has been denied. WHAT A ******* SHOCKER.

Anyone have any idea's on what to do now?

I can not believe (but at the same time I can) after showing up with paperwork from the damn German military, where they even stated my back was****** up in country.. they still shut my claim down. What a crock.

Get with the VA rep in your county. Some of them a really good.
 
Many of the vet reps are worthless. Worst case, call Deutermann Law Group- VA appeals are one of their "things". I'll be using them when the VA shoots my claim down.
 
Throwing in the towel. Fed up with dealing with these people.
Got an appointment for 1 issue only to have then sub my next appointment out to third party who only would allow me to come in tomorrow. Told them I couldn't take off 2 days of work for that. So they just don't offer anything. I asked to make an appointment 2 weeks out and am told "that is too far in advance to schedule " ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Call back to verify my Friday appointment, no one put it in the system, they can't see me.
I've been in touch with the DAV 3 times over the last month for help with my claim.. guess how many returned calls I've got from them? You got it! ZERO.

This is the most mind blowing sh*t I've ever dealt with. Man do I wish I could go back in time and never enlisted. At least then I could put on my damn socks in the mornings or bend over to pick up something on the floor without being in extreme pain.

Worthless f*cking people.
 
Even auto insurers do it... my wife got hit from behind, and the first thing the other party's insurer did was assign an adjuster, which is normal, and that adjuster proceeded to negotiate the liability with my wife, which is BS!

Prayers sent for you, JimCracken.

Def contact your congressman.
Also, there is a clinic every 3 months, where you can walk in and they can grant your claim on the spot. I will post more once I find it.


DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
I just won an appeal in August that was 8 years long!
Paid for a new truck and a boat load of guns.
Hit me up on a DM and I will help you

Yea need info on this...need to get my stuff increased
 
With your initial claim being denied there are a couple of options to use.
One you can re-file your claim worded differently and with additional evidence or two you can appeal it.
You should have or will eventually receive a packet explaining your rights to appeal.

Re-filing usually yields a faster result as the appeals process/group is backed up.
There is a new process, RAMP, that is attempting to speed appeals up.

You should definitely be working with your local NC VA Asistance rep. If this isn’t working for you call the main NC VA Assistance office in Greensboro.
 
I had called the DAV, and didnt hear anything for a few weeks, called back to get some snobby twat that didnt know anything answering the phone... I was fed up.

Well, on my birthday (dec14) as we were headed to the mountains, the DAV calls me back. The rep said my back was split up into 3 things. I forget off hand what all they were. I think something to do with my L4/L5, Sciatic pain and scoliosis. He's reading my file and mumbling things under his breath, and i hear him say "Dude, wtf....... im so confused" and I said what is it?
"2 of the 3 things on here, the doctor said are directly service connected, and one is not."
Scoliosis was not. The VA agreed my issue was service connected, denied my claim anyways. He told me these exact words "I'd straight up appeal this, these f*ckers are retarded and I dont know why they denied you when they said it was service connected"

Going to make it in their office one day next week probably to start the process. That was such a relief to hear, i cant even describe it. For the first time since Ive been back home, I dont feel 100% hopeless and f*cked over now.
 
Ok,
So you have scoliosis.
Did your military service make that worse?
Then they have to pay you now that you are out.
Yeah, talking to the DAV on the phone never works, you have to go in person, ask for a supervisor.
 
Well, I am in the VA now with Dad. He had scans last week and the fluid causes constipation.

Since they ran late, he had to take a double dose and he has a history of diereticulis. Duh... so here we are...

Poor guy, hasn't had a good BM since last Wed... and he ate a lot of seconds after Holiday meals....

Then the Admittance didn't put the Lab order in for the whole patient list...so they are running around scanning cards... gonna be a long day.
