    This is how I requested a copy of your entire electronic claim file:
    www.vba.va.gov...
    “I would like a copy of my entire claims file to include all service treatment records, personnel records, DD 214 and rating decision/s to include code sheet and any compensation and pension exam from the VA and any third-party contractors. The entire electronic claim folder on CD.”
    Fax and Mail to:
    1. Department of Veteran Affairs Intake Center, 844-531-7818
    2. Department of Veteran Affairs Evidence Intake Center, P.O. Box 4444, Janesville, WI, 53547-4444
    ********************************************************************
    How I obtained a copy of my Summary/Breakdown letter.
    I called the VA at 800-827-1000 and inform them that:
    “I would like a summary letter/disability breakdown letter to include, all my service-connected conditions, percentages and diagnostic codes.” (if you are not service-connected, you will not have one). Also, you can have them email or fax (if you don’t have a fax at home, you can download a fax app in the play store on your phone) this information, if the person doesn’t want to email or fax it, hang up and call back and speak to someone else.

Have you ever run into a vet that’s 80% but bumped to TDIU but wanting to open some claims to get 100% scheduler? Or do you have any tips? I’m TDIU since 2013 but now have a wife and baby. I don’t work much because of my injuries but occasionally I deliver for Uber eats when we need a few extra hundred bucks for expenses. Would like to go from IU to 100 scheduler and can use some tips. If I file secondaries will they take the IU? Thanks!

    The VA sent me their Decision Letter this week
    They denied all 3 claims: Prostate Cancer w/ ED & Kidney Cancer
    The Letter seems to contradict itself:
    The VA says that they concede I have disabilities, they concede that I was exposed to radiation and they concede that I participated in a TERA (Toxic Exposure Risk Activity) while performing my job as a Missile System analyst Technician ( EMT Team Member ) in the Air Force.
    But then they also say that the disabilities that they concede that I have were not caused by those activities that they concede I was exposed to in the Air Force.
    Sounds like Government double speak ( talking out of both sides of their mouth.
    I will be appealing

    I have been waiting for over six months just to get copies of my DBQ and TERA which the VBA sends to the National Archives and they did not arrive in time to have the evidence in my hands at the time of the higher level review. This is inexcusable. The VA has a "duty to assist" and a governmental requirement to be efficient. the VBA is neither. The higher level reviewer called me and said that this was the interview. I told him that it was not because I had not been provided the evidence that I was entitled to and the failure of receiving was with the government. VBA higher level review closed my case, after he told me he would discuss the matter with his supervisor to reschedule.

    I don't have prosthetics at all but I do have a TBI and have seizures. I am not able to drive and in fact the doctor took my driver's licence.

    Hi
    I am caregiver for Vietnam Veteran with 100% disability for Parkinson’s. I get a monthly stipend at level 1. In our option I provide all his ADL’s and requested to go to level 2 and was denied. Appealed with added info from his Neurologist where Dr said “ he can not maintain in the community” which are the magic words according to VA.
    We were denied again. Don’t know what else to do. Several interviews by the Caregiver Social workers said they stated since he needs so much care I should be elevated to level 2 stipend.

    Good morning. I have a higher level review claim currently pending as we speak; however, I decided to go back and read their initial decision letter, and I was kind of shocked about a statement regarding a visit for a separate issue. the claim was completely inaccurate and misrepresentative about a shoulder injury I had years prior. This was used to make their initial decision in my estimation. How can I retort this? Can I?
