I never knew it was that bad. I've been fighting with those *^#$ for almost 2 years for my Dad's VA benefits. His lifetime benefits would be less than anyone on page 4. He isn't going to live that long. This just makes me sick...

Adger fighting for my father as well with the VA, he is a Korean War Vet and they have been turning him down for procedures that needs done. He has come to the conclusion that they sent him home to die. Got news for them I will fight until there is no fight left in me for them to do these procedures and the right thing for him.

I see it everyday as I am a volunteer at a VA facility. Gentlemen, I plead with you to stay proactive and make your voices heard. It was announced today that the House passed a VA overhaul bill that states if you are over 40 miles from a VA facility that you make now seek health care outside the VA if wait times are to long at the VA.
Get in touch with the person that filed your claim if you haven't heard anything in 3 months. You should be hearing every 3 months from the VA until you have a ruling on eligibility of benefits. BE VIGILANT, THESE ARE YOUR FATHERS RIGHTS!!!! |

looking at these lists I wonder how many of these employees are part of the decision making and management process and how many might be Physicians/Surgeons just doing the care of patients submitted to them? Them not doing the scheduling etc. that seems to be causing the problems at the VA. does not mean that if they are making a big salary they should be lumped together with those that are making the big buck as well as being part of the scheduling debacle. You make a lot of money means you are part of the problem. Do you racers have any idea how much money a Physician/ Surgeon earns per year?? A coupla hundred thousand per year is not out of the ordinary and depending on your specialty it could be considerably more up into the MILLIONS of dollars per year for Cardio/Neuro/Renal and transplant Drs.
