Frustrating

[raidertone]

I can't understand why the information on ebenefits in reference to my claim/appeal is not updated periodically. It gets frustrating reading about how much information is available to others while mine sits dormant. The last entry was in April of 2008. VA just says they are backlogged and get many complaints in reference to that. Really? How can they go almost 5 years without updating it? LOL.. I can't help but laugh becausing getting mad doesn't help anymore. Sorry, rant over...

I said in the beginning that ebenefits was just a waste of money. Never have I seen it get updated in a reasonable time. Why it took the folks in Houston 6 months to indicate a SOC and a NOD had been received. Half of the time you can't even log in the other half of the time it takes forever to change to a new page... yep just another va money hole......

The VA waiting game is really the VA dying game. I suppose if Congress can allow victims of Sandy to wait for shelter over their heads in freezing weather they can wait for vets to get old and die waiting for decisions. The whole thing is a disgrace. Every time the Congress allows these things to happen their pay should be cut by 15%. If Congress wanted vets to have their claims adjudicated in a rational time frame it would happen. They don't care one bit and for that they should get the 15% self discount on their stinking pay. The VSO's should not get another nickle as long as they don't scream out against these delays. I am waiting 7 years on my CUE.

I agree John

Hurricane Sandy victims, tho they need/deserve help, what about Vets? Since I put my claim in, in 2002, we have had dozens and dozens of hurricanes, come and go, and guess what? I am still waiting on my benefits, as are a million other Vets.

I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago, and most of that is already rebuilt, at least down town. But...I applied well before hurricane Katrina and I am still waiting.

I'm much younger and less experienced in these matters compared to salty vets like you and Broncovet, and even though my claim has lasted a little under 2years and I hope it won't cross that 2 year mark for a positive outcome, I still cannot rest content with my lot and call this system fair as long as deserving fellow vets like you guys are left in the cold. I think it my duty to agitate and rattle our common chains until justice is served to all, because standing idly by while they do it to you today only serves to set a precedent that might reach to me tomorrow.
