Warning ! If you call the white House hotline, yo will end on the VA union Sh** List. The first response I got was "You called the White House! And it has pretty much a brick wall since!

Based on an experience I am trying to straighten out where my VSO was changed either by clerical error or some other devious reason. I suggest everyone check all your info that you can. This has caused me a lot of grief in trying to get the dependency payments reduced after my wife of 64 years passed away.

Are your SCARS "TENDER AND PAINFUL " ?

Probably the reason that I cannot get into Ebenefits!

I got an email that I had a message on Ebenefits and for some reason I cannot get into the website. I am able to get into the DOD site but no farthar. anyone else having this problem?

I had my last VA cardiologist appt 8/14. at that time I was told the Doc wanted to see me in 4 months. Never happened! I routinely went to the Pacer clinic every 6 months and assumed the Doc. that was there was my cardio doc, until he asked me " WHO IS YOUR CARDIOLOGIST?" WHOA ? I thought you were! Ended up with a Televidio appt and after being shoved aside for 1 1/2 years I refused! ended up with a Triwest appointment with the best local Doctor in the area! Alls well that ends well!

Hi John, I also like Bud deals. I carry a small .380 auto. May not be as lethal as something bigger but with 9 little bitty rounds maybe I can scare them to death if attacked! I like it because I can carry it concealed in my pocket. BTW I just bought a stainless Ruger Mini 14 from Buds

The only communication I had from the DAV was begging for money!

I ditched the DAV for that same reason. All they did was fill out the forms, and I can do that better!

The root of VA problems is onions! oops misspelled that.

I print and save everything from secure messaging

Buck , Interpret this for me " OR Since the Veteran's release from active duty and for at least five years immediately preceding death, Trying to figure out if it applies to me?

Similar subject, Its no wonder that a lot outside Dr's do not want to take veterans. I was sent to an outside urologist on a consult by my PCP. I had a procedure by this Dr. before. Tri Care set up the appointment on August 2016. I kept the appointment that was 120 miles away. Yesterday they denied payment ????

Buck, Thanks for the reply. I already have a Choice card but thats a shot in the dark as which Doc you will see. At any rate they just called me back and they had a cancelation. I see my PCP at 10:30 tomorrow. TNX

I have been having a problem with my legs and fluid retention. I suspect my pacer and or my heart is acting up so I called my local VA clinic where my PCP is located and was told that I could not be seen until the last of December. That is 8 weeks! I have never in the past had that much of a delay in seeing my doctor. The system is truly broken.

Alittle off topic, but still about sleep apnea. I have been on a VA issued CPAP machine for 10 years in fact the 3rd machine. The VA recently changed things issued from prosthetics. In the past when a mask became worn out about every 3 or 4 months I would call and they would send a new mask. That has changed ( not for the better) . After 10 years I am told I must have a sleep study to get a new mask. Still not sure how this is going to work. Anyone that has sleep apnea knows it. Do you wake suddenly with a snort? That is caused by sleep apnea

Along this same line is that Non VA services that are authorized by the VA are not scanned into the system . I have complained to the admin about this, but the ole brick wall got in the way!

You can get a premium account very easy. You must be authenticated at the VA in person. After that click the blue button and specify a date range that covers the date of the C&P. Then click VA notes and any other info that interests you. Hope this helps

I am 83 and 100% T&P,and I am looking for understandable information on my wife's potential survivor benefits. I have read all the legal boiler plate and I am more in the dark then when I started. Can someone give me a link that that will have info that is understandable?
