My C-files In D.c.
I was supposed to be re-evaluated this month for P&T status so I called to find out why I haven't been schedualed for a C&P. I was told it probably wouldn't happen this month because my file is in Washington. But, no one can tell me why it's there. Maybe it's with the BVA they say. But I don't have a BVA appeal going.

You Need To Tell Family What You Want
Dear Hadit Members: It is best to do some research and than decide how you want to be buried. Myself I want a simple cremation or go out like a Viking. $ 995 and that is total cost. Others may want a cemetery and the Veterans Department has many Cemeteries and that is a good option in my opinion.

Nicholson said there was no evidence the thieves had used the data for identity theft, and an investigation was continuing. "It's highly probable that they do not know what they have," he said in a briefing w…
