Hello Mary,
Thank you so much for the great info, very much appreciated, and also for your concerns and support!! My research into VBA practices reveal a “kick the can down the road process then blame poor training or some other excuse for a wrongful denial of a claim. I’ve read that appx. 33% of VA disability claims are denied, and that 60% of those claims are unjustifiably denied.!?
I am currently out of VA for care only because I have a long, heavy traffic drive to Portland,Or. VA. My care there was very good, I couldn’t ask for better! The administrative side is another story! Thank you again!
Mike
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the invite here! I guess I’ll lay out some of my info and hope to see some responses.
Camp Lejeune contaminated water vet, there in 1980. Diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, June 2019. I filed the first Va claim in August which was denied because they didn’t have the actual radiolgy, diagnostic, etc. paperwork. OK…filed a supplemental and was denied because my cancer does not fall into the “liver cancer ” requirements!! I’m stage 4, terminal, so it looks like I’m a good candidate to just kick the can down the road..?? This is a basic statement of my condition as gallbladder is also affected. We, my VSO advocate are skipping right to a singular Judge, which can take up to a year!! Being terminal and having help from my Congresswoman will expedite but still being denied as not a liver cancer is outright wrong!!
