Discrimination Of Older Vets

[jan]

Hi

I would like to know why our claims are being shoved to the end of the line and the Iraqi

and Afgan troops are being pushed to the head of line. Are they just waiting for us to croak to

me this is discrimination. I did not go to war but I did volunteer for Viet Nam but couldn't go

since my brother was there at the same time. I have served my time in hell and now I'm waiting

for just cause. I feel slighted everytime I call to check on my claim. How many others are in my shoes? We are all supposed to be equal.

Because the system is broken. Personally I feel the VA Claim should be done on Combat Injured Vets before they stop getting paid Active Duty Pay.

It does not make older vets 2nd class. We already have had our claim done at least once I bet. Of course it should not result in years of waiting for Older Vets.

The VA needs to get the money and manpower to do both

Timely

I keep getting my dr's appt's cancelled, even for SC problems.

I asked the ortho clinic last Wed. if it was because I was VN era and a female???? The guy was dead silent for almost a minute. I then asked him how many of the cx's were VN era (all) and how many were female (just me I was the only female having an appt that day)

Hmmmmmm

They hope we will all die before they have to treat us.

;) Too all of you! Bush and Nickelson came out with a directive LAST year that ALL Iraqi claims be done WITHIN 120

I think we should think in terms of all vets being equal so the VA can't use one group against the other and divide us.
