Check in your state for a veterans representative. They are there to insure you get any benefit/support you need.

Sarge,I'm glad that after reading your problems with the VA
that when I applied for VA benifits that they told me that they were sorry,that I waited too long to apply for benifits.
I served our country in 1963-1966
My comment to the VA Rep. "So I guess you won't bury
me when I die cause I waited too long?"

Yep. You only got 10 years, which is stupid because you're in fairly good health when you get out of the military so who thinks of getting medical care?

Must be some new bullshit they added since Mom was in Navy from 50-52 and got her benefits around 1990's.

i know your pain, i go to the va in dallas ,it is so bog. wait,wait,wait! doug
Here's a hint I used today. Tell the desk you have a complaint and they will send you to the Veterans Advocate which is on-site.
I explained what was happening and within 30 minutes I had signatures and info on the forms. Now to get them to eScripts under Tricare and get prescriptions more than cheap. My last batch at the VA (5 out of 6) cost $122.17 for a 3 month supply. Normally under Tricare it's about $29.00
At least I got my forms filled out correctly. And they were filled out by ' gosh - gee ' the VA Director at the facility, not my Personal Care Physician.
Squeaky wheel ? You better believe it. Of course the nurse doesn't like me now but she's not involved in any proctologist work.

Why does the VA spend millions to put up a beautiful up to the minute facility, and then staff them with idiots. PB county has the same problems. I think they only gove jobs to those who fail the tests.
