I am writing this blog because I’m a U.S. Veterans that has been in a domestic warfare for twenty two years against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for proper compensation benefits.
During my twenty two years I have noticed that the (VA) is committing a large number of crimes against Veterans, such crimes as spoliation, fraud, misprision of felony and many other crimes.
And nothing is being done because at the administration level of the adjudication process is where crimes are committed and Veterans are reporting these criminal acts to employees within the Veterans Benefits Administration and Office of Inspector General. Only to get no response or a response such as we can’t do anything with individual complaint from the Office of Inspector General. The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate does the same thing by saying go to your representative in the State where you reside.
So you go to your representative on the Hill in Washington DC, only to be steam rolled with the phrase, “we’ll make an inquiry.” Well it is easy to understand that inquiries has gotten us to the place of the recent scandal at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
For an example I will use my twenty year old VA case. After experiencing the lost/ destruction of my original claim file back around 1995 and many other criminal acts of spoliation. I then experienced a blatant act of FRAUD.
On July 25, 2011 I had a video conference hearing with the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA). On January 3, 2012, the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) issued a Remand Order, remanding my appeal back to the VA Regional Office in New York (VARO NYC), with instructions/directives to schedule Veterans for a cardiovascular disease examination with a cardiologist. And also an examination for TDIU. Which neither of the above mentioned instructions/directives were followed at all until this very day.
On June 12, 2012 I reported to my compensation pension examination at Albany Sam Stratton VA Medical Center in New York, with an examiner Dr. Daniel Tobin, a geriatrician specialist, and not a cardiologist. During the examination my blood pressure rose to high level of 260/191. The examiner never examined me for TDIU at all.
On June 18, 2012 I received the compensation & pension examination report. No place in the report was mentioned anything about my blood pressure during the examination. The examiner asked me questions related to whether or not I had heart disease. In the examination report there was questions boxes yes [ ] or no
[ ], relating to whether I had unstable angina or angina. The examiner left both boxes unchecked.
Another question was asked by the examiner relating to whether I was on heart medications, which the examiner checked the box no [*]. Therefore the June 12, 2012 compensation & pension examination and its June 18, 2012 report, was FRAUDULENT. Strictly because I have angina pectoris and have been on heart medications for twenty two years.
On August 25, 2012 my attorney submitted a written notification to (VARO NYC) informing them that both the June 12, 2012 compensation & pension examination and the June 18, 2012 report were FRAUDULENT, under 18 U.S.C. Section 1519.
Ever since employees at both the (VARO NYC) and (BVA) have chose to IGNORE our notification about the above mentioned FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. I submitted to my Congressman and both Senators, my attorneys letter dated August 25, 2012, which informed the (VARO NYC) about FRAUD. The same letter was submitted to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General.
On May 6, 2014 a separate Veterans Law Judge with the (BVA) issued another Remand Order, without mentioning anything at all about my attorneys letter about FRAUD. But with instructions/directives to secretly start my twenty two year old VA case all over again. Which I responded notifying both the (VARO NYC) and (BVA) I will sign any medical forms because what they’re requesting me to has already been rated.
Which the (VA) is in violation of the following laws:
18 U.S.C. Section 4- Misprision of Felony; 38 C.F.R. Section 1.201- Employee Duty To Report; 38 C.F.R. Section 1.204- Information to be reported to the Office of Inspector General.
By violating the above mentioned laws, the (VA) is purposely high jacking Veterans claims at the administrative level, which is “Contempt of Court Order,” in my appeal.
I will be adding additional documentation to our website real soon. if you’re experiencing the same maltreatment by the (VA), please feel free contact me at the contact information on the website: www.pointmanministrationofalbany.org/va-spoliation

I was told the Va had a new ptsd therapy that has been successful with helping vets. Having gone through therapy 35 years ago I knew the hole I would be putting myself in and the demons would be there. I was assured that my therapist would “have my back”. So I said that I would go to the 12 week sessions. Well I am in the shower to get ready for my first appt, when my wife answered a phone call telling me the meeting was cancelled due to an emergency, Ok big deal we will start when she has a free hour. So we finally begin and for five weeks I open my soul to this woman about the traumas in my childhood and then Viet Nam experiences both with missing memories. On the fourth week she ended the session with “I would like to explore the missing memory issues next week”
So I took it upon myself to explore what happened July 14/15 1967 at Danang Air Base. One of my missing memory situations. As I told her I was talking to another guy that night as we were both waiting for a chopper to Chu Lai in the morning. I had told my therapist that as this guy and I were talking a jet aircraft 50 yards in front of the hanger we were waiting in just exploded and we hit the ground. I saw that there were Vietnamese people running around but thought this was an accident and they were there to put the fire out. My next memory was the next day and I was getting off the chopper to see my brother and meet a Stars and Stripe newspaper photographer to have our pictures taken for a story of brothers in the war zone at the same time, which wasn’t required in those days.
When I googled the date I found a horrible event had taken place. In brief 75 marines were wounded 9 kia when the barracks they were sleeping in was rocketed and mortared, 12 aircraft were destroyed, the ammo dump filled with 500 lb. bombs was hit and destroyed. The Vietnamese I saw were sappers with satchel charges. After going to web sites of vets that were there at the time I learned more. So, I tell all this to the therapist first thing at the appt. She handed me 5 or 6 sheets of paper and said I want you to take these home and read it and answer the questions on the last page. I agreed, she then pulled out another set of the same papers and began reading every word on them to me and my time was up. To say the least I was surprised the experience wasn’t explored in more detail with me, but agreed to see her next week. I said to her I will really need you next week as that is the anniversary date of that event, and left confused. Well after being in one of the worst depressions of my life I couldn’t wait to see her. I hadn’t slept or eaten by that time for 3 days. So I get in the shower and, you guessed it my wife came and told me my appt was cancelled AGAIN and on the anniversary. When I complained to her supervisor he said I don’t know why she cancelled, and I said “I don’t give a sh– why, if she had done to another vet what she has done to me and he put a bullet in her head then I could understand why my appt was cancelled”. Well that wasn’t the best metaphor to use because His notes read that I was going to put a bullet in my therapist head. Since then I have been to patient advocates,administrators,etc. all to no avail. Once it is written in your myhealthyvet.com va notes its written in stone. I then got a notice to go to the same center but to see my psychiatrist to renew my meds. So I went and was talking to another vet also waiting for an appt. We were chatting when I heard this woman scream my name, I turned as the other vet yelled back “he’s not deaf”. Little did he know that I am deaf in my right ear and have very little hearing in my left. The abuse continued in her office and I was bewildered because I have never had a problem with her. I told her look I am here to have my meds renewed, not liking the ptsd therapist has no bearing here. She told me that she likes her and I will have to go somewhere else to get my meds. And so it goes on and on. These people who call themselves doctors and treat vets the way they do has convinced me that they need to be retrained or fired.
If anyone knows how I can either get this lie repaired or a lawyer who can help me. I am even willing to pay for lie detector tests for both myself and the person who lied about I said. I need help from someone.
