"...the secret to survivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep." I'm still working on it, still a long ways to go. I have previously eliminated probably about 70% or so of the communications related to pursuit of VA claim. A lot remains, as pictured, although the most important paperwork is in another location, not pictured. I know that I could probably get rid of all that's pictured here, but I'm so far unable to discard without reviewing all the hard-sought information needed before due process could occur. For instance, filing a NOD, Notice of Disagreement, while a petition for review is in process violates procedure, and, though now forgotten, documented steps of correction had to be taken, amid several pleas for notification. This is just one paper bag of what I threw away this time; I have to go through again what is in the green bag, which at least is now light enough to lift. ***And I
did not start the fire.
P.S. While I was downstairs, I noted the furnace still leaks. Thousands of dollars later, who cares?
