I got a letter the first week of Jan saying mine needed sent in no later than Feb 1st. I faxed them the form on Jan 22 (after I called 3 times begging for the form to be sent, but never got it). I called back to make sure they got it and it was in the computer and was told it was. March 1st my check was cut by 2/3 cause VA says their computer system didnt recognize it. Its taken me 9 months to get this taken care of and it still isnt fixed. My advice is, make sure you print that form out every year and send it in certified mail. I dont ever want to see another veteran go through what I've had to deal with over this form. If there's a way for the VA to screw ya (even if you do your part 100%) they will!!! Just please....get them that form!! Good luck to you all!
