Shreddergate and other scandals

On the 13th of October, 2008, VA Watchdog dot Org broke the story about documents found in shredder bins at the VA's Detroit Regional Office.

A number of those documents were critical to veterans' disability claims.

As the story unfolded, VA finally began to release information on the incident and we learned that more than one Regional Office was involved in this shredder scandal.

The VA's Office of Inspector General (VAOIG) is investigating.

VA has instituted new guidelines regarding handling of documents.

If your service-connected disability limits your ability to perform activities of daily living (like bathing, dressing, accessing the community, and interacting with others) and you can’t return to work right away, you may qualify for independent living services through the Independent Living track.

The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) is a comprehensive health care program in which the VA shares the cost of covered health care services and supplies with eligible beneficiaries.

This for instructional purposes to direct you on how to file your claim. When we were in the service they told you when to get up, when to eat, what weapon you were going to use, and where to go. 

When you got out no one told you how to deal with the VA and how to file for the benefits that you earned by your service. 

This section of the forum I have been wanting to set up for just this reason
