Bio:

I flew to D.C. again on 7 Feb. 2017 to join Commander J.B. Wells, Military-Veterans Advocacy, in his 16 meetings with members of Congress and Senators regarding Bills needed to address critical issues in the VA. Commander Wells used my 20-year battle with the VA as an example of the VA's infamous Appeals’ process known as the “Hamster Wheel.”  *See link below.

I won a Joint Motion for Remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in 2010; yet, NOONE enforced compliance to the U.S. Court of Appeals' ruling.  My file sat on someone's desk for 

seven years.  During my recent trip to D.C., I received a call Senior Judge Lawrence B. Hagel, U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, had ruled a favorable Memorandum Notice (9 pages long) telling the BVA to expedite and fix their "error." 

You need to know - with NO ENFORCEMENT in place mandating the BVA to comply to U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims rulings, Judge Hagel's favorable Ruling will, again, sit on someone's desk at the BVA just like the favorable ruling I received in 2010 from the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. 

Our youngest son is a Navy Commissioned Officer currently deployed, and the VA does not know my name....I pray, you, Dr. Shulkin, will.

I have been interviewed on five Podcasts, spoken at Veteran forums, and my 2013 speech in TN is on YouTube.

PLEASE CORRECT THE APPEALS PROCESS SO MY FAMILY DOES NOT HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER TWENTY YEARS.
