I am waiting for a BVA hearing in Columbia, SC. I filed the claim over 5 years ago, and my VSO has no clue when it might be, other than "possibly next year". I don't have to tell you this is a national disgrace. My condition worsens with time. America's dirty little secret is that there is an epidemic of suicide among vets, mostly Vietnam vets, like myself. They are forced to wait unreasonable, excessive amounts of time. I am told the VA is hoping you will either give up, or die. And they don't care which. This is the way America's heroic vets are being treated. Supposedly there is a tremendous backlog of cases in Washington at the core of the problem. I voted for Trump because he said he would "drain the swamp" and clean up the VA system. I don't know if he will get my vote this time around. The public should be outraged. Why are we not marching on Washington by the thousands?

This is not a new situation at the BVA. They instituted policies that were supposed to help and it has not done much. The reason the BVA is overstressed in my opinion is that the RO's slam these cas
