I called a week or so ago and was also told that the stimulus checks would be going out anywhere between the end of June and the 10th of July. I was also told that the payments would be made to vets "randomly"!!! What?! I am now hoping that the direct deposits would be sent out all at once. It shouldn't be that difficult. I can understand that it might take extra time to cut checks for some of us, but really thought that they would have more definite dates by now...

Thank you everyone. Yes, it should be there before the end of the month. It says that the retro will be paid with in 15 days. So that's close enough for us. And like someone else has mentioned, we'll probably notice it in our bank before we even get the letter. I'll also look more closely into edu benefits. AZ doesn't say that they do pay for it but you never know about some of these things. Husband is doing much better emotionally knowing that he can focus on himself and not feel like he might have to figure out how to support the family. (not that he needs to, but he's just that way). He did finally find an excellent Phy. Ther. who can limit some of his pains. The first person in over 15 years who didn't just give him a sheet of exercises to do. So we are very thankful to have found him. We are still pretty young. He had his accident when he was just 20. We're just trying to figure out what to do when the kids are out of the house. Looking for other areas to move to where the weather wont aggravate the arthrits. Any ideas? Thanks again, and my best of wishes to everyone still fighting. May you all have a wonderful holiday!

Just wanted to share some great news with everyone here. We just recieved husband's award letter for 100% P&T due to unemployability.When the brown envelope showed up today we sat down together to open it because we were so worried that it would be a denial. This claim was just submitted in Mar 06! I didn't join this forum until after the claim was started and my husband went thru a service officer or something so I didn't really even know what was being asked for. They even increased his rating to 70% schedular at the same time. Fortunately, the C&P doc even said that with his injuries he is not able to work. And his SS claim had already been approved so we sent that along. After waiting seven years for the last claim to get approved we were really expecting a loooong wait. But the frustration and anxiety over this is finally done for the most part and now we can move on to focusing on his health, our kids(who will now get help with college), and our future. Anyway--- even tho I was just a lurker,I thank you all for your wonderful, invaluable advice and your kindness, support, and encouragement for all of us dealing with the VA. Lori
