Discrimination by The Veterans AdministrationAnd Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System
VA Disability Award and Termination 1980-1982:
On or about 1980 Non Service Disability Pension awarded. The award was granted due to lack of income, nervousness, and depression. Termination of Non Service Connected Pension June 1982 B. Refusal of ACLU to represent during personal hearing through the VA Regional Office in Little Rock. Refusal of Representation by the Legal Field of AR 1982

II. VA Psychological Reports, Wrong Medical Records & Lies
Reports by Doctors Lewis Neal and Gregory Gosinki of Ft. Roots North Little Rock Division 1982, in which Dr. Neal accused me of deliberately lying to Psychiatrists and Psychologist in order to get financial gain. Dr. Neal further states that my grammar and diction are consistent with my 9th grade education and self-professed Bisexuality and substantiated by Dr Gosinki in a follow up psychological evaluation. Dr. Neal further accuses me of being lazy and stating that I have never worked a day in my life and that I am Anti Social, War Like in appearance and manner, Aggressive, Filthy in appearance and just looking for a free ride resulting in termination of Non Service Connected Pension.
Although the report presented by Dr Neal is discriminatory and inflammatory it does present all of the symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) with the exception of the statement about my self-professed Bisexuality.
On or about 1998 or 1999 the Adjudication Officer Fredrick H King deliberately lied to the Little Rock Office of Senator Hutchinson in which he stated that I had informed (Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System) CAVHS that I wished to withdraw my claim for compensation due to lack of transportation.
On or about 1998 or 1999 after requesting personal and health records from CAVHS, I received those of a Black Veteran formerly stationed at Ft. Sill Ok. After Informing CAVHS of the mistake in records I then received Admission and Discharge records from McClelland Hospital in Little Rock of another Veteran who had been recently admitted and discharged. These records included the diagnosis, prognosis and treatments for a Mr. Roy K Gilbert who at the time was a 79-year-old White Veteran.
Footnote
In each instance all required information was given to CAVHS, including my correct Social Security Number, VA Claim Number, Date of Birth my correct mailing address, along with my full name and middle initial.
III. Suspicions, Medical Care, & Personal Hearings.
Though I have no proof just my suspicions, that another person with the same name though not same middle name is currently drawing compensation under my claim number and with the full knowledge of the Veterans Administration.
2001 Harvey, LAOn or about August 2001 I arrived at Gateway Recovery System. Personal records are transferred from Little Rock Regional Office to the New Orleans Regional Office, Loyola Ave New Orleans LA. Transportation was provided to and from The New Orleans VA Medical Facility by Gateway. Further public transit was available from 6 AM until 9 PM in the evening.
Following the transfer of my records from the VA Regional Office in Little Rock to New Orleans and not more than 5 months after my arrival at Gateway another veteran arrived from Pottsville AR to the very same location
Upon obtaining legal representation in New Orleans, before my personal hearing at the Regional Office the VA legal coach challenged my Attorneys right to represent me and held up the entire proceedings for about 30 minutes. This attorney had sent the VA a Power of Attorney signed by myself to the Regional Office of New Orleans. The NO VA denied having any record of it. The grounds given by the Legal Coach were the VA had no record of a Power of Attorney and that the Attorney was not VA accredited.
All veterans at Gateway Recovery System (98 percent of these veterans were black) were drug addicts or alcoholics and were awarded backpay ranging in the thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. All were of the Heterosexual orientation and all of them were in relationships with VA Nurse's.
In defense of the Doctors at New Orleans, I have to say the overall medical care is reasonably good. My PCG Dr. Rosenberg worked with me on all counts in choosing medications and dosage’s that were right and discussed openly all of their side effects, both PRO and CON. Nor did he have any problem with changing any medications that were not working, or were producing bad side effects. Further Dr. Rosenberg worked with me on choosing which medical treatments and tests were required and which were not required.
The same can be said for my Primary Psychiatrist Dr. Maumus, who started me out on 20 mgs of Citalopram Hydrobromide. I requested that he increase it to 40mgs each day, which he did. This tended to leave me however with a very mild Marijuana feeling of giddiness and euphoria. After reporting this to Dr. Maumus and it was decided to break them in half and try 20 mgs in the morning and 20 mgs in the evening. This worked fine and tended to keep the level of medication on a normal keel. To say that I felt reasonably good would be an understatement. I strongly feel that I am the target of a conspiracy and hate campaign of a Person or Group of Persons in the Little Rock Regional Office and here in Morrilton.
