Moderator broncovet Posted February 4, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2009 Skunk I dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but I asked for this back in 2004 as I was loosing my home. It will depend on your regional office. If you are in Cleveland, you better figure something else out, because those people wont help you. Some of the other RO's are not as bad. How do you think that Cleveland got the reputation of being the stingiest RO in the nation, according to the AG report? Oh, yes..and I did loose my home. VA did not care. I finally got partial benefits about a year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted February 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 6, 2009 I tried to expedite my claim as I was about to be foreclosed on I was broke my world had crashed I had been in a VA Hospital for a month and more than 5 years later I won so it better be something more than financial. I did help a Vet get a pension who was homeless once and he got it in 3 months. So maybe homeless works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
