Metoo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I had great luck with a claim over 3 years old. Within a month, I had my rating. I think it all depends on what area you live in and who your Congressman/woman is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted July 23, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 23, 2013 If you are related to the congressman it helps, or a big contributor to his/her campaign. Otherwise, you are Joe Blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted July 23, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 23, 2013 My opinion is you are better off with a lawyer than a Congress Critter. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherof3 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am done. Nightmares increasing again, getting to where I'm checking over my shoulders when I go out, bill collectors driving me crazy, 70% barely pays bills, over drafting to make ends meet, haven't seen therapist since May, no appointments available before September, no female therapist available at VetCenter right now. I've done everything I can. Sick of VA, politicians and everyone else lying about help being available. This is enough to make a person breakdown. I don't have any family here. Even if they could get me in to therapist, I don't even have bus fare! Lord, I didn't make it to 52 years old to fall down now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
