One of many reasons that most vets distrust the va is that you have to prove yourself to them & NO benifit of doubt goes to the vet. Also the va regional directors got to split over 5 million dollars in bonuses for saving the va money. I have been diganosed with ptsd and other problems after being run over by an illigal alien [in Yuma, AZ] abd it took over 7 years to get my monies coming in, even after we were homeless for a year & a half.

I even ended up on the domestic terror watch list for a while after I threated to turn the va office center into a somldering crater! [This was well before 9/11 but after OK.City]
So do I trust the va. Just about as far as I can throw the office building that they house themselves in!

Do you have a local legion that can act as a go between for you? Alot of local legion offices do that.

I use the dav, but all of the national service officers [who suppose to represent the vet] are on the payroll of the service orig. and the va. This leads me to believe that there is a conflict of interest against the vet’s! So I believe that it is in the interest of the va for the vet to pass away and only have to pay a death benefit to the family at one time instead of taking care of the vet’s who were changed in ways that will never be understood!

We gave up our tomorrows for every bodies elses todays!
