Moved dad in with my family in 2014. 100% P&T PTSD, neuropathies, Coronary artery disease all SC to AO. Appealed to veterans law judge and was remanded in November 2022. Waited patiently as dad declined slowly, then suddenly on 2/26/23 he was gone. Peacefully in his sleep. I've been all over the VA to ensure that this claim lives. Had my congressman enter an official inquiry to which I did get a response - "It's in line". Dad had pretty much accepted his situation, unable to walk, or take care of himself in any meaningful way.
Its been 13 months since that remand came, and its impossible to get any information. Where is it in line? I appreciate the irony that if I didn't pay taxes or made certain threats online that the feds would have my house, all assets and me within a matter of hours - but a program designed to assist in keeping veterans out of nursing homes and cared for by those who love them - 2nd rate issue. This was the last thing dad was really adamant about in his life, and I hope those in charge of the program and those running the program lose every bit of sleep over their poor performance. But who am I to expect that anyone other than me should care about my old man?

I love this country, but my God I hate the VA.
