The media is needed to tell people how the accounting fraudsters work. Government won't tell. The first thing the fraudsters do is divide, destabilize, and destroy the family they victimize. Divide and conquer. It's the perfect cover.

ADVS Request
[AZDCS] John Scott <joscott@azdvs,gov>
To: "anthonymineroconnell@gmail.com" <anthonymineroconnell@gmail.com>
Mr. O'Connell pursuant to your request, please see the answers to your questions:
The answer to your questions are:

1. 90 days is not an unusual time frame for the VA to recognize a correspondence sent by a veteran or his representative.
2. The VA has all of the documents in the veteran's claim file.
3. The letter in question (enclosed in his email) was sent from the Phoenix Regional office and stamped with
Service Center Manager's signature who was Jeffrey Mc Adams at the time.
4. The VA is accountable for all actions taken on the claim. The ADVS was representing and advising the
claimant at the time.
5. The veteran can request a copy of his entire claims file through a FOIA request to the Pension
Management Center in St. Paul MN. The address is on page 9 of the information he attached to the email.
The letter you are requesting was sent from VA, not ADVS, and therefore in order to get it you would need to
complete a FOIA (freedom of information act) request of your VA Claims File. If you need assistance applying for
said request please let us know so we can assist you.

Mr. O'Connell pursuant to your request, please see the answers to your questions:
The answer to your questions are:
1. 90 days is not an unusual time frame for the VA to recognize a correspondence sent by a veteran or his
representative.
2. The VA has all of the documents in the veteran's claim file.
3. The letter in question (enclosed in his email) was sent from the Phoenix Regional office and stamped with
Service Center Manager's signature who was Jeffrey Mc Adams at the time.
4. The VA is accountable for all actions taken on the claim. The ADVS was representing and advising the claimant
at the time.
5. The veteran can request a copy of his entire claims file through a FOIA request to the Pension Management
Center in St. Paul MN. The address is on page 9 of the information he attached to the email.
The tetter you are requesting was sent from VA, not ADVS, and therefore in order to get it you would need to
cornplete a FOIA (freedom of information act) request of your VA Claims File. If you need assistance applying for
said request please let us know so we can assist you.

Mr. O'Connell pursuant to your request, please see the answers to your questions:
The answer to your questions are:
1. 90 days is not an unusual time frame for the VA to recognize a correspondence sent by a veteran or his
representative.
2. The VA has all of the documents in the veteran's claim file.
3. The letter in q uestion (enclosed in his email) was sent from the Phoenix Regional office and stamped with
Service Center Manager's signature who was Jeffrey Mc Adams at the time.
4. The VA is accountable for all actions taken on the claim. The ADVS was representing and advising the claimant
at the time.
5. The veteran can request a copy of his entire claims file through a FOIA request to the Pension Management
Center in St. Paul MN. The address is on page 9 of the information he attached to the email.
The tetter you are requesting was sent from VA, not ADVS, and therefore in order to get it you would need to
cornplete a FOIA (freedom of information act) request of your VA Claims File. If you need assistance applying for
said request please let us know so we can assist you.
