FTCA overview info correction

[Berta]

https://community.hadit.com/topic/42506-a-brief-overview-of-the-ftca/

I saw something odd here this AM.

I saw a guest was reading the FTCA forum. That isn't odd. We get hundreds of guests here everyday and sometimes I like to see what they are reading-

I have asked a few vets and widows over the years , to read our info there,regarding FTCA  and to join the site.

Part of the info in the above link is my personal experience with FTCA, but when I read it- it did not seem to be what I would have written in that link- which Carlie had written and posted and then I noticed in 2015 that TBird had edited the linked topic.

I dont know what happened to my actual Overview of the FTCA-

I need to go over this information carefully because some of the info in the link is not exactly what an FTCA overview should state-

The FTCA situation I had ,which is also here in other threads, seemed to be described as Carlie's situation in the link .Carlie never had a FTCA case as far as I know.

I will change this thread with a reply- as it is not a good assessment at all, of FTCA issues. I am glad I caught it.

The actual post was closed for comments.

I lived through FTCA , my husband's death was due to the VA, and my FTCA info here is solid.

It was very upsetting to me to see that the post was edited twice, and definitely used some direct quotes  of probably an older post I made, but that it appeared to be info from Carlie's non FTCA experience.

It will be fixed. I have a Bill that unanimously passed the Senate and is in committee now- and when the House passes it, it will save LIVES.

It grew out of MY own FTCA experience.     I see many here over the years  who read FTCA and 1151 threads.I have helped them if they have joined this site.
