Va Website Entry Page
Nice to see a facility for homeless female Veterans and children, now if we can only move Women Veterans off the bottom of the page as a 'special program'. Someday we'll be considered equally a Female Veteran for VA care. Sure took alot to get where we're at. When calling the VA even in 2010, I am asked 9 of 10 times 'are you the veteran'? Or in person at a VA desk, person facing person "quote/unquote "can I have THE veterans ssan?" a rare vent, no apologies, but the truth. Grateful for each veteran and family member getting benefits due. Cowgirl

This Is A Joke Is You Don't Like Them Don't Read
A TRIP TO COSTCO Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog, and was in the checkout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that…

Please Allow Me To Vent
Last Friday I got a message on my home phone and on my cell phone from the local VA medical clinic from a man who said that he needed to talk to me. Great. Except he left no name, no call back number or extension on either message. So, a few minutes ago I called the number on the caller ID, and after waiting forever the scheduling people answered, but they did not call me, transferred to the Operator, nope, not her, transferred to another department, nope, will after a few more transfers I'm back at the scheduling department and the lady ask me what am I doing back? It is like a three ring cirus and the clown is in charge. Now, if I do not show up for an appointment,…

Finally Getting C&p Exam
It's been quite a while since I posted. I filed a claim for service connection for MS a couple of years ago which was denied. I reopened the claim and was again denied. Both denials were made without the benefit of a C&P exam. The last denial stated that my doctor in his IMO did not give a medical rationale for his opinion. So in late November of this year, I had the claim reopened again and submitted a new letter from my VA neurologist that provided the requested rationale. Well, today I found out from the 800 # that a request for a C&P has finally been made. I'm not sure what to make of this: whether 1) the C&P is to refute my neurologist's opinion of servic…

Disabled Veterans Would Get Free Vacations In Kentucky.
http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=11961304 Disabled veterans would get free vacations in Kentucky. FRANKFORT (AP) -- State lawmakers have approved a measure that would allow Kentucky military veterans who have been totally disabled in the line of duty to stay in state park lodges free of charge for up to three days. The Senate approved the measure 38-0 on Tuesday. The House had approved it last month 97-0. The Senate also approved legislation on Tuesday that would require state agencies to grant interviews to at least five military veterans who apply for vacant jobs. That measure also passed the Senate on Tuesday 38-0. The House had approved it last month…

800 Wrong Answer Number
Greetings all: Please correct me if i am wrong. Was told today by a "very knowledgeble VA employee" that I had to complete a release of information form for VA to look at my VA medical records. She indicated that the status of my claim was waiting for the records release form. I asked her to send me a letter stating that they needed a completed release form for my VA records. She said that wasn't necessary I just needed to send in that form. I asked her why I should send in a form asking them to get copies of medical records that they already had (turned in duplicate records on 10/1/09 hearing...where they said this had to be a new claim). I informed Her that I c…

Fast Service On Claim
I reopened my claim on Nov 29 '09 and a C&P exam was scheduled for Dec 31 '09. Unfortunately, the VA failed to notify me of the exam, and I found out about it after the fact when I called the 800# for an update in early Jan. Also the exam was scheduled at a VAMC that is 2-1/2 hours from me. The C&P exam has now been scheduled for this Friday (at an OPC 2 hours away). This seems like pretty fast service to me. It would have been nice to have it scheduled at the VAMC that is only 35 minutes away, but I'm not about to upset that apple cart.
