I just don't understand what happened to travel pay. Not to long ago travel pay was paid the same day. Then VA said they must pay travel pay by EFT Direct Deposit and it went from being paid the same day to three to five days. Now it has been over forty days and they tell me it was processed and it could be up to another fifteen days.
I make sure I turn my travel voucher in during work hours and I see the Clerks in their office and walking around the hospital. The clerks in the office are working on their computer but how long does it take to input travel pay? They have stacks of vouchers they are inputing in the system but I am trying to figure out how can they be that backed up. It makes no sense to me. I bet they get their checks on time. Driving about 200 miles round trip eats gas and that can add up when a veteran has multiple appointments each month. I know they get paid even if veterans don't. Just had to vent a little.
My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.
Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.
I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.
