I am not going to stop posting here until/if I am banned.

89,

I have been trying for two years to increase the PTSD from my 30% and increase the 10% each for my two wounds, but have been turned down and am working on an appeal.

I have verified combat experience, two Purple Hearts and scars to back it up. Plus I have a copy of my record book which the VA has copies of my medical and other records.

When I first came to mil.com I was asked to provide verification of who I was and did so to GH, Fate and MSgt Hicks, who happened to have served with a capt/Maj that i served with when he was a 2Lt/1stLt. There is also a poster on mil.com that served with the 5th group (571) that served in Pakistan with me.

Well guess what chica, your ass is banned from mil.com for being so full of shit. Just a matter of time for here too.

Have fun walking your neighborhood soliciting people for help.

Gary-

See, you and I can back up everything we claim in seconds with documents, witnesses, etc. Con Artist can't and won't. Why? Because there's nothing and no one to back her up.

And in reference to your not stopping your electronic diarhhea amvet, you require a banning to do it for you? Can't you take a hint? I have little doubt you'll get your ban in short order...

Are you all happy now? Must be bored that you have to do all this to get rid of someone.

Gary, after you had established your rating of 30% the Purple Heart issue is no longer a point. In receiving the 30% for PTSD the VA has conceded the stressor. To increase from 30% to 50% (the next level) all depends on your doctors notes in the Progress Notes.
Here is the criteria :Occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity due to such symptoms as: flattened affect; circumstantial, circumlocutory, or stereotyped speech; panic attacks more than once a week; difficulty in understanding complex commands; impairment of short- and long-term memory (e.g., retention of only highly learned material, forgetting to complete tasks); impaired judgment; impaired abstract thinking; disturbances of motivation and mood; difficulty in establishing and maintaining
effective work and social relationships........... 50%

I would like to add a little note to all of those seeking 100% for PTSD. Think long and hard about what you are asking for, when you go for 100% PTSD. Due to the severity of this mental disorder, you shall lose the right to keep and bear arms. You shall not be allowed to purchase firearms, nor use them in any manner. That is the law, commonly known as the "Brady Bill."
Here is the schedule for total disability for PTSD: Total occupational and social impairment, due to such symptoms as: gross impairment in thought processes or communication; persistent delusions or hallucinations; grossly inappropriate behavior; persistent danger of hurting self or others; intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living (including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene); disorientation to time or
place; memory loss for names of close relatives, own occupation, or own name....................... 100%

Blow me, coach-man. If you want to crawl up her ass and dole out your sympathy, be my guest. The vast majority out here will not be joining you.

She's a leech on society and is soaking up benefits that someone much more deserving should be getting. And she's been lying about her experience while trying to garner sympathy and money from members of various forums. Never once does she offer anything even close to concrete evidence.

What little she has ponied up has been proven false, and little more than contrived beer stories that sound initially plausible to anyone who doesn't have a clue.

It's a slap in the face to everyone who has ever put on the uniform and served without fanfare when some piece of shit poser like her continuously solicits help and money from complete strangers for her supposed ailments.

If you wonder why it was done, then there's your reason, and f**k you for even thinking to question it. Haven't you been reading? Oh yeah, last time I checked defrauding the federal government wasn't looked upon kindly by law enforcement agencies.

Another little snippit, another nail in the lid!

Quoted by Giant Bryan, verified by GH: on mil.com, where she is now permanently banned!!

QUOTE:Since her name was posted, and I have contacts with both the DAV and VA. I can tell you she is NOT receiving 30% disabilty. She does not have a claim in. (under her posted name)UNQUOTE:

So amvet, who the hell is she, does she know herslf anymore.

What puzzles me, that despite factual information now coming from various corners of the military community, why is she still allowed to post?

With all due respect to the Mods, and to show respect to other members who have served., she should be banned. pure and simple.

Sound off guys!

If that quote came from GH - Forget it.

He dishonorably pries into folk's private lives in violation of the TOU and posts this information. - To pass on private personal information from DAV and VA may be possible, but is unethical and very probably illegal on someone's part.

Complaints about such behavior by GH have been lodged with Military Advantage, Inc.

I highly suggest this be dropped.

RIML

I Agree.

RIML, she submitted information to GH for verification of her Claim. He did not pry into her personal life, only into her claim of being awarded the CMB and presence in El Salvador. Hardly an invasion of privacy. As to checking with the VA on the status of her claim of PTSD based on a false occurence, with information SHE provided. I do not think you will get far on that either. Come on man, your a were a Cop. She PROVIDED information about herself, she has made her life (fantasy world) all public knowledge. no one had to dig for anything she provided it all.
Had she honestly filed a Claim with the VA based on her false story, she would be the one in violation of Federal Law. Your dislike of GH is clouding your judgement on this in my opinion. He only did as asked, others have made inquireies based on information Amy provided herself. So, who is the one who screwed up here?

And maybe the most important thing you may lose is the right to receive and manage your own money.

Dave, is it automatic at 100% PTSD that you lose control of your money, or is still based on a GAF? Is it at 26 or below?

rb325th:

The VA cannot release information - even if she has OK'd it over these forums and discussed it herself - unless she has filed the necessary "Release of Information" forms with the VA.

Anyone accepting sensitive or controversial information over these boards - to assist someone in making a VA claim - in full public view - is not acting in the best interest of the claimant - this was more a pizzing match over whether or not someone was entitled to a badge. An ethical Mod would have insisted it be taken to email, and not discussed in public.

I understand what she has said on the forums is very foolish indeed, but does not give the agencies, nor any employee, or agent carte blanche to discuss this person.

Hypothetically, a person who has a diminished sense of the harm that they may cause themselves by speaking out in these forums due to psychological conditions - is in more need of the privacy protections afforded by the VA's stringent "Release of Information" requirements.


I'm privy to some past transgressions by GH along very similar lines which you may not be. Let's just say there is an M.O. here...and leave it at that.
