Exposed Vet Productions: VA Disability Denials: Exposing the Nonsense
Bethanie Spangenberg, former VA C&P examiner and CEO of Valor 4 Vet, breaks down shocking VA denial patterns and provides strategies for veterans to fight back against illogical denials.
• Copy-pasted medical opinions appearing in denials across different regional offices
• VA examiners citing general risk factors without considering veterans' specific medical conditions
• Cases where non-medical VA staff insert their own medical opinions into denial decisions
• Examples of VA omitting service periods that contain evidence supporting claims
• How the VA repeatedly claims obesity is "a choice" despite service-connected conditions limiting physical activity
• Understanding the growing evidence linking PTSD and sleep apnea despite VA denials
• Absurd case where a widow was denied benefits because her husband "didn't have cancer" when using fentanyl
• Why veterans should carefully review all rating decisions for errors and omissions
Don't give up. Go wherever you need to go to get the proper representation, but get it done. Read your denials carefully, make sure they're really talking about your case and your situation.
