Ballwin, MO asked in Gov & Administrative Law for Missouri

Q: VA closed and denied claim for dental expenses, lost claim file twice and remand from BVA is being ignored.

In Veteran's judgment suffered dental emergency from a dental infection and other dental issues in July 2021. The VA told the Veteran that he was not eligible for dental care as he was not 100% in 2021. Saw a private dentist in July 2021, paid dental bill now no balance. Granted 100% in April 2022 retroactive to Oct 2019. VA denied (closed dental claim in July 2022) and did not provide the Veteran as promised a Statement of Case. VA "lost" dental claim twice. Three appeals all denied the Veteran's over 20 page appeal ignored. Appealed to BVA got remanded March 2024 now it is being ignored. Any way the VA can be made accountable for its failures? Thanks.
