Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Subject: FW: Change to CFR 38

Good morning to all at VVA 106.
This email is the follow up from last night (4/23) meeting.
The CFR 38 is the Coded Federal Regulation that governs the way that the VA rates all disability and to get the wording changed it takes an act of Congress to change it.
I am working along with one of my client's who has an incurable cancer but now since he is in remission the VA is reducing his disability payment from 100% to 30% even through he is not cancer free.
I feel this is a big injustice to any veteran and their family to reduce the disability rating as this will hurt their spouse when the cancer becomes active once again cause in most cases the cancer comes back with vengeance and their spouse does not know anything about getting to the VSO to put in a request to have the cancer rerated. Him and I have been in conservation his Congress Representative who is Ann Kirkpatrick. They have asked if the VVA as a National Organization in agreement with this change. Right they are not as this is on the ground floor so to speak.
I am attaching a segment of the CFR 38 that was used in training session by the Arizona Department of Veterans Services.
What I am asking each member of the Chapter to write an email to Gene Crego who is the VVA Arizona State Council President to encourage him to get behind this request and to Jim Vale who is the VVA VSO National Director to the same to get National to back this much change to the CFR. Gene's email address is genecrego@gmail.com and Jim Vale's address is jvale@vva.org.
Sorry for the length of this email but I really want the members to understand the importance of getting this wording change.
Thank you and if you have any questions about this email me back or call 520+730+6069.
