MarkInTexas Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks ALL I need to reinstate the fact for all that if your case is in excess of two years or more with the VA in Houston they do have a dedicated team that is supposed to be working on these alone I have noticed some like Papa whom post out of San Antonio you need to follow-up with your representative mine was the Texas Veterans Commission and from them I learned of this. My claim was about 36 months and most likely sit buried under a stack the older your claim the more likely with the right prodding they will pull it up. The Houston VA is under some fire from the Houston Chronicle whom are watching them and writing articles in support of us all you can google it and read so the public at the least around here is being made aware of the plight of us vets in dealing with the VA and getting our claims processed. Now I still have to fight for the periods of 1997-2001 which they totally have ignored three times now but at the least they have awarded 100% P&T as my health had declined rapidly and under-went four more surgeries since 2008 as well as more side effects from treatments so I have that victory but am praying for you all as all of us need the compensations we are entitiled to period. They can give trillions to the banks it is time they take care of their veterans. Not that I want to make a serious thread into a comedy routine, but my compensation claim is so old, the file is made of papyrus, and it was sent off temporarily to the Houston Natural Science Museum because they thought it might be part of the Dead Sea Scrolls.....................

ComputerGeek46 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Definately make sure you get on the horn brother it took them three weeks after I did they are supposed to process by order of date meaning the older the claim is they are supposed to process it first On the humour if you do get it into the museum I will definately sing to the chronicle as a humming bird see see see and point as a hunting dog! hang in there brother Edited September 9, 2012 by ComputerGeek46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
