    New Claims Mailing Address

    NEW CLAIMS MAILING ADDRESS FOR YOUR V.A. CLAIMS

    By: Dr. Anna Pat Krupkin, Ph.D

    National commander
    WHY THE BACKLOG ON PENDING CLAIMS.

    SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE,
    friendly V.A. Regional Offices, who have unknown to you RACKED, PACKED and STACKED your claims.

    Yes it is true said your National commander Dr. Anna Pat Krupkin, Ph.D who discovered after she had the U.S. Postal Inspectors to investigate just what has happened to veterans supporting claims evidence that was mailed out Certified Mail with signed green card requested, after several months and in some cases now over a year those green cards were in fact kept by V.A. and not signed for as is required pursuant to U.S. Postal laws and regulations. No green cards were being returned as V.A. Regional Offices were keeping the mailings and they repacked all those veterans records and RACKED, PACKED, and STACKED and shipped them off to two separate V.A. locations within the United States depending on where you live.

    The U.S. Postal service has one duty to deliver the mail, in the case of Certified Mail they must do one of two things, have the Green Card signed to complete the delivery if the receiver refuses the postal service must return the package to the sender not just surrender the package to the receiver without a signed green card yet in the case of their dealing with the V.A. they did just that.

    V.A. has failed to notice all veterans who have pending claims that their evidence must be mailed to the two separate V.A. locations, V.a. has failed to send letters to those veterans and now since your local V.A. Regional Office has unknown to you forward your supporting evidence records to those two separate locations in Newnan, Georgia, or in Janesville, Wisconsin, no wonder veterans are enraged and many have killed themselves because of the claims games V.A. plays on our veterans. Because this clearly is additional form of V.A. abuse you should call and write your local Congress or State U.S. Senators, demand they address this issue or V.A. abuse will continue to get far worse.

    We have attached the Correspondence page so you will now know where to send your claims supporting evidence. End.

  • Marines raise the flag on Mt. Suribachi

    african-americans-wwii-013 iwo jima   World War II  – 1945

    The amphibious landings of Marines, after severe and relentless bombing of the island, began the morning of February 19, 1945, as the secretary of the navy, James Forrestal, accompanied by journalists, surveyed the scene from a command ship offshore. As the Marines made their way onto the island, seven Japanese battalions opened fire on the 9,000 Marines headed for them. By that evening, more than 550 Marines were dead and more than 1,800 were wounded. 

    Although the famous photograph has long led people to believe that the flag-raising was a turning point in the fight for Iwo Jima, vicious fighting to control the island actually continued for 31 more days.  Let’s not forget that there were African Americans in Iwo Jima.

  • Veterans Appeals

    Board of Appeals

    Appeals at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals

    Once the board receives your appeal, it assigns a docket date based on the date VA received your Form 9. This date is important: under the law, the board must work appeals in docket order. Currently, the median, or middle, docket date of appeals the board is working is July 2014. Some newer appeals can be pushed to the front of the line: those from older Veterans and survivors, those who are terminally-ill or those who have documented financial hardship, etc. It’s important to know that if the board remands (returns) your appeal to the regional office to gather more evidence, you won’t lose your place on the board’s docket.

    Just like in the regional offices, several Veterans service organizations are located at the board. If you choose not to have a hearing before the board, your representative will write a legal argument on your behalf. The board will consider that argument when it conducts its own de novo review of your claim. If you choose to have a hearing, your representative will help you explain your case at that hearing. VA will transcribe the hearing and put it in your file. The board can do one of three things: grant your appeal, deny your appeal or send (remand) it back to the regional office for more action.

    If you disagree with the board’s decision, you may pursue an appeal to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC). If the CAVC denies your appeal, you can appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If you lose the appeal there, you can petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review. The Supreme Court grants review in very few appeals. Generally, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court review only legal matters in an appeal, not agency decisions.
