Veteran Complaint Board
VA Comp and Pen Doctors Signed Dbq's. Air Force Veteran - LW.
Date: 5/31/23
I asked for my Comp and Pen Evaluations and was told that I had to request them through a VSO. I haven't had good experiences with VSO's. I can get my C-file, but thay don't contain doctors evaluations, only narratives, which doesn't tell condition. I am forced to go to outside doctors to get an unbiased opinion of results and conditions I have.
Desired Outcome: I would like my DBQ's sent to me so I can make an assessment of my health, and seak a second opinion.
Status of Veteran When Discharged. Air Force Veteran - RGM. Date: 5/3/21
I fell off of a F-101B "Voodoo" Fighter/Interceptor aircraft that was equipped with Top Secret Equipment that I was trained by the manufacturers Engineering personnel. I was told that I was to be "Non-Existent", and "Ordered" to never state anything to anybody about me, who I was, what I was trained on, or where I was trained, nor what my function was. So, I never spoke about anything, including about falling off of a F-101B at my duty station, at the end of January 1966, during a snow and ice storm conditions, at about 8:00 pm, when I slipped off the pilots ladder landing on my back with a 30 lb electronic "Tacan" set on my chest. I ended up having pain killer injections a couple days later, and then more injections a couple days later again which put it in February 1966. I was discharged in early June of 1966. I was told NOT to mention anything to ANYBODY about what happened under penalty of being arrested when I was discharged. I was told that order stood for the rest of my life. Therefore, I never mentioned anything of the fall onto ice and snow, and that I had a back injury. Around 2012, I applied for injury compensation through the VA, that stated if I waited that long to complain about my back that the Military Service was not required to recognize that the injury was the fault of the military, so therefore I was denied any compensation even though I had to pay for the doctor and hospital costs for the operation. At that time, I was told that the operation success would only last for a few years, which is where my pain has returned now. I am on pain medication that was prescribed by the VA, but I have been told my only opportunity for a cure was another operation but the VA denied that my condition now was not caused by the fall I incurred while I was still in the Air Force.
Desired Outcome: I need to have an operation on my back to stop or reduce the pain in my back. The "final" position of the VA was that I should have complained long ago, but I honored the instruction of the base commander to "never discuss ANYTHING about me or my service in the U.S. Air Force.

It is nearly impossible to call into the Jackson Sonny Montgomery Clinic in Jackson, MS to make an appointment.

I have been with this clinic for 13 years, always the same. Also not very good attitudes from the ladies answering the phone.
