Berta, Thank you for pointing me right direction. Alot of good information and will get me going.

Hi, I have been searching many forums and also all of the Veteran Affairs regulations. I am unable to get a answer, so i am hoping someone else might have ran accross the same issue. I had a surgery in a VA Medical center for a service connected disability. The VA has given me temporary 100% for 1 year while undergoing treatment for a mistake they made. Now they ahve stopped my temporary 100% and I am totally messed up from the surgery and unable to perform any work. The doctors have written many letters stating I do not need to be working period, until they can get me repaired. The question is, how do i get the VA to pay for longer than 1 year for convelesance? I have a family to take care of and would rather be at work. This is driving me crazy, as I am having to sale items I have worked hard for just to pay for food and my bills. The veteran affairs has already admitted they have messed me up and gave me and extra 10% to my claim. Which is 60% = $1045 a month. Impossible for a person to raise a family on this. I am sick of the way us veterans are treated and pushed aside as if we dont matter. Even after admitting that they are at fautlt, they still say they cant go past 1 year convelesancen for temporary 100%. I believe this is a way of brushing me off to try and discourage me and making matters worse than they already are. I was told to file a 1151 Tort Claim form and sue the VA, but this takes time. I need help now and I dont know where to turn. I go to the Veteran Affais Center and talk to the advisors there all the time and they are working to figure this out, as they all said this is not correct and the VA should pick up the temporary 100% for as long as the doctor is treating me for this. I am in need a of a regulation to shove back down the VA's throat to get back on track here. I have also written to the fedreral and state senators and congressmans. Of course no response from anyone. Typical thing to expect. Any advice guys would be deeply appreciated. Thanks for all your responses in advance. John
