@SecVetAffairs@DeptVetAffairs "Faster" isn't a win, it's a faser denial! The Waco RO historically leads in denials (92% for Gulf War Illness). You're clearing backlogs by weaponizing "continuity of care" & using "implicit denials", a tactic the Federal Circuit just ruled illegal in Hamill v. Collins (2026).
@SecVetAffairs@DeptVetAffairs Claiming ‘trust is up’ while pushing rules to cut ratings based on meds is gaslighting. The Waco RO is still weaponizing 'continuity of care' gaps against Vets to deny benefits. Stop trying to find excuses to lower ratings and start following 38 CFR 3.303(b).
@RepLuttrell@MarcusLuttrell Great news on medical breakthroughs, but what about the Waco RO? They are still ignoring 38 CFR 3.303(b) and denying veterans based on 'continuity of care' gaps rather than our actual symptoms. Don't let the system gatekeep the heroes you're trying to help.
@VetAffairsDems The issue goes beyond complexity, it’s inconsistency in how claims are evaluated. The Waco RO, are prioritizing “continuity of care” over documented symptomology. This results in claim denials that effectively limit access to earned benefits, creating a evil layer of bureaucracy.
@DeptVetAffairs The VA loves 'honoring' veterans on X, but they really honor us with a bureaucratic system of denial and delay. Bold move to trade our lives for 'likes.' I hope the Secretary is polishing his resume; once we march on Washington, his career will be 'denied' just like our benefits.
@traxler_bethpac@SecVetAffairs@DeptVetAffairs Incorrect, VBA makes the final call, but they rely on medical evidence VA must obtain under 38 C.F.R. § 3.159 and ensure is adequate under § 4.2. Those exams come from VA/contract doctors, so what they document directly affects outcomes.
@SecVetAffairs@DeptofWar This VA secretary is just as bad as any previous one. Is this how we honor our veterans, with a bureaucratic system designed to deny and delay their benefits and care? Veterans are going to start marching to Washington DC, and that will end your career. Waiting...

@SecVetAffairs@DeptVetAffairs "resources" doesn't fix the legal errors at the Waco RO. Documented in-service injuries are being ignored, and Vets are denied for "lack of treatment" despite the legal wording continuity of symptomatology (38 CFR § 3.303b). Your raters ignore the medical incidents in our records
@DeptVetAffairs My wife saw firsthand how bad the VA hospital experience was, and it really upset her. She couldn’t believe that veterans are treated that way, so she decided to put me back on her insurance. She even said she wouldn’t want anyone to have to go through that.
@SecVetAffairs The backlog didn’t drastically reduce, claims are just now being denied faster. VA raters keep demanding & weaponizing “continuity of care,” when the law requires Continuity of Symptoms under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(b). Veterans are getting more tired of the VA system.
