    The VA created this problem. VA Medical providers will not do nexus letters and IMO's. So, veterans have to look for help in the civilian community, and some vets get eaten by sharks.

      First : Get ALK your medical records. Second : Take those records to a private non-VA physician. THIRD (and importantly) : Make a "Declaration Of Fact" under United States Code (USC) ,28 U.S.C.1746 and Declare the facts. You'll sign it "Under the penalty of perjury". You must itemize EVERYTHING.( This document must be taken as factual. It then falls on the VA to disprove it. But , you must provide addresses,tele.numbers,and names. That way say you go to a doctor and he agrees it's more likely than not your problems stem from service . Yet , he won't commit to that on paper he then MUST admit his beliefs to the VA rater calling his office. Your declaring it factual makes it necessary for the VA to investigate. Remember , the VA may claim they attempted to get in touch but we're unable to.So, get the time best to call, address and business name .And, Doctor's license if possible.....Try that it works when done correctly...

So I had to teach myself and read BVA and Court of Veterans Appeals cases for over 2 years and then filed a claim with the VA which I won. And regarding VA Claims Insider, never used their service, but their online information about applying for service-connection was far greater and more detailed than anything I ever got from a VSO or even from VA lawyer sites. Companies like these sprang up because so many veterans are constantly shafted by the VA and their VSO lackeys.

    I have a chronic disease on the VA Chronic Disease list, Myasthenia Gravis (MG). VACI said they could not help me. Just like 3 VSOs. The first VSO could not even alert me to the VA Pension, from which I ended up getting $ 500 per month. What would help is if the raters talked to the claimant for 5 minutes and allowing Higher Level Reviews after a higher level ap[eal is successful. I received a C&P from a HLR and the rater made the question of "Did I get MG from PCBs". The C&P examiner said no, but put in the rationale that I had it while in the service. The rater denied the claim. I eventually got 100% P&T using that rationale and the rationale of another C&P examiner that said I developed double vision (first symptom of MG 85% of the time) because of MG.

And benefit from all the benefits you get for being 100%. I used them to get from 90 to 100.

    I don't think VA Claims Insider would have gotten as much grief had they not gone hog wild with the compensation they charge veterans for services rendered. They charge something like six times the increase in your monthly disability payments (so if you are filing for the first time, you will be charged six times whatever rating you get from the VA). According to VACI's member contract the maximum fee is capped at $15K, still a huge sum for many struggling veterans. Plus, it's never a good look when the founder of VACI buys himself a huge waterfront mansion to live in.

    • @matts7476
      @matts7476 9 месяцев назад +1

      Sounds reasonable to me. You know the veterans get that benefit the rest of their lives right. Many times they get back pay so it’s really not that much until they have paid off the services and start collecting that money the rest of their lives. Yes I do suggest trying to file yourself first. Get what you can but when you get to that road block they can get you what you deserve. I wasted 3 years fighting. Then they helped me. If I went to them sooner I would have been better off.

      @TB-vb1st 9 месяцев назад +3

      @@matts7476 Yes to some cases, but you would know that not everyone's VA disability benefit is ever 100% guaranteed for life (not every veteran gets a P/T disability decision). So for some veterans they could face a reduction in benefits in a year or two or so, or maybe get cut off entirely. This means they spent over a year having to pay VACI back, and by the time they are done their benefits could be reduced or eliminated. Not all veterans are fortunate to have a well paying job or even a roof over their head. Unfair to expect VACI's payment system to be 'reasonable' for them.

And although I'm a low income disabled vet, what the hell is wrong with someone a waterfront mansion if they bought it with money they earned through providing a service? Now, if VA Claims Insider is actually outright stealing from vets, then yeah, I agree. But most of what I'm hearing is just BS from vets who decided after the fact that they want more of their backpay after agreeing to pay it, so they get sour grapes and want revenge "just because."

The backlog is due to claims like (apparently) yours. The VA is bound by law to research YOUR facts. And ,within reason, research on there own some medical claims and institutions you used. HOWEVER, this adds some 4-6 months onto the process. Now , multiply that by thousands and there's your backlog.

      I am not a certified VA Claims Rep-either inside the VA or on the outside. But, over the past 20 plus years, I have helped many vets. The first thing any vet has to understand, is this: You have to know what you are filing for and it has to be specific-If you do not know/understand what you are filing for-then how does the VA know what you are filing for. To do that and make sense to the VA raters-you have to have basic knowledge of the rating tables in 38 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). It is also the vet's responsibility to provide proof of the issue/disability, that is was incurred/caused by their military service and is rated at or above zero percent disability. You have to take an active part in the claims process. And you have to provide the documentation to win your claim. When vets start to hand me a pile of papers and say do my claim. I walk away. If they want to sit down with me and go through them-we do. And then I tell them what they need. When vets just put a bunch of words on a paper and send it in and hope that something will stick-it usually ends of rejected. As stated below by another commentator "
      If you are denied you must look at the reasons the VBA did so .Then start again addressing those areas they noted. It ain't easy but worth the time...". Good luck on your claim/s.

    • @Kenbot2
      @Kenbot2 10 месяцев назад

      It’s illegal to charge a fee for an initial claim. They can only charge once you’ve been denied. That’s the problem with the claims they’re charging outrageous fees and it’s not legal for them to charge. That’s why they have their own states attorney general suing them. That’s not the only reason, but it’s one of them.

      Did you listen to what she said in the video? Did you read the 17 page indictment against VAClaims Insider? You’re blaming the veteran for not taking accountability for what they choose to use. Please define that. If the veteran looks at the contract and agrees to the astronomical charge in exchange for a service that is entirely up to the veteran. Now once the contract is signed, and the veteran gets no help from VAClaims Insider but achieves a higher rating now VAClaims Insider expect to get paid. What would they get paid for? The veteran did all of the work, and there was no service provided. At least not an acceptable level of service being provided. So what do you mean when you say the veteran needs to take accountability for what they choose to use? Most people that comment. Always default to the price well, you knew how much it cost. The cost is not the issue, as long as you’re OK with it in the beginning. The issue is you’re not receiving the service promised. listen to the video and read the 17 page indictment from the Texas Attorney General. All that information is outlined in there. That’s what the complaint is.

      In theory, nothing should happen to the status of any veteran that used their service, as long as the claims themselves were legitimate.
      Think of it like a buddy running a (uncertified) car repair shop out of his garage at his house. You have a check engine light and your car fails emissions. You take it to him, he looks up the proper parts, and performs the repair per the manufacturer’s instructions. The light goes out, and it passes re-inspection.
      If your state decided to crack down on uncertified garages, and file suit against him, that does not change the legitimacy of your emissions test results. If he did a fix that manipulated your computer into *thinking* it passed (ala Volkswagen), that’s a different story altogether.

    • @Kenbot2

      Why would anything happen to the veteran? The veteran won their claim by their own medical evidence. The only thing VAClaims Insider did was take six times the increase in their backpay. That’s it! The Veterans did all of the work, and the Veterans medical evidence won the claim.
