Ouch! I am far from being on the VA's side. I just went through a mysterious letter from VA Collections. It said since my compensation has changed, I owe them $2889. To this day, I have not gotten a response from regional as to why this debt was generated. Collections also agrees there is no letter from them as to why, only a debt, and they are to collect it. I've contacted, spoken to and written a letter and a state rep looking into it.
After the panic attacks it caused, out of no where, the exact amount gets deposited into my account. the money is going back, eventually. But I stil have no response as to why, but I was told by multiple contacts with the State rep and 1-800-never-the-same-answer, that there is no showing of my rating or any action in reducing me has taken place.
I',m just saying, sometimes you may be better off picking your battles, maybe not. But the VA operates freely to screw things up with no consequences. Flat out unmistakable errors take months if not years to get corrected.
