Being a veteran is an honor that the veterans administration has really made  hard to be proud of. The amount of time it takes them to approve veterans claims is ridiculious. I have been out of work since October 2006 and had every door I knocked on for answers slammed in my face. The claims promised to you are almost impossible to receive and the administrations job is to give the veteran as little as possible. It seems that file sharing is not an option they want to use, their excuse is there is only one file per veteran. The veterans are suffering at an alarming rate and as we lose more veterans we are gaining more also. They may be taken care at the active duty level and then they become one of us. I have written letters to Senator John Warner and Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi. I was advised that this action slows down the approval process, because of the one file theory. Today as I was writing this blog, I received a phone call from a gentleman that worked for vocational rehabiltation in Washington D.C.. This guy told me he had spoken with the counsler in charge of my case ( whom i had left a message) and he asked him to call me. His response was you call him and he said I am not in charge of his case. Then he repied tell him to call me then. These are the types of problems and attitudes veterans face through-out the system. As a veteran I am tired of these problems and someone needs to be held responsible.
