You're in good hands with the VA Man! You just got to have a little trust. Just because we throw your evidence away, and stall on your claim until you are homeless you got to show a little tenderness. The VA system as it is is broken beyond fixing.

Throw it out and start over, but first grant every claim in the system.

After FOX Undercover asked the VA about both veterans in this story, the agency agreed that both men are completely disabled because of their military service and entitled to a full disability pension.

Pension????.

Comp is needed for this.

Fox would not understand the difference between 100% SC and a pension andthe fact that there is about a 1500 dollar difference between the two most people call a retirement check a pension more than likely both veterans are either 70% TDIU or were granted 100% outright why let facts get in they way of a good story

Yow -you guys are right!!!!!!!

I didnt even catch that-Yep probably a pension instead of comp award!

When a story of a WWII vet broke up here in NY_ Cong Hall ( H VAC) and the vet appeared in a newspaper photo where Hall handed the vet a big check from the VA for $100,000- for the photo op-

indicating the veteran's claim had succeeded (after he went to the press)

I am 100% sure this was for SC comp in this case- but realized that the 100,000 bucks might have well been wrong retro for wrong EED.

for SC disability.

Gee- I dont think anyone caught that as to the pension at VA Watchdog yet.You guys are sharp!

It happens every time. A story is told to the national media like these two vets. The VA gives them their benifits. Story over. In a few months there will be another one just like it.

The media will not get anything changed. Like us, they help one veteran at a time. I've seen a hundred of these stories in the media.

No march equalls no change.

Your right Time. Another saga in this series.
