Thanks for this article. It just goes to show that veterans must be on the up and up with both the VA and SSA or ELSE!
If anyone is receiving compensation from the VA, insure that all parties have the latest information relative to your financial situation. The consequences of falsifying Federal data are significant.

Bill seeks to speed some disability payments
By Mary Mosquera Published on August 7, 2008 A bill now in the Senate would require the Veterans Affairs Department to modernize its disability claims process for injured service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The legislation, sponsored by Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), seeks to shorten the time it takes for severely injured veterans to receive initial disability payments and promote more use of information technology in the disability claims process. continued http://www.fcw.com/online/news/153436-1.html |

This sounds good ,,, quick question for you or your opinion,,,,,If you have a claim in, do you think it would help if a High ranking Senator checks on it? SSgt65 Ron |

Sometimes a Congressional inquiry can help. It depends upon the clout of the individual legislator.
Use whatever means you can to get your claim processed. You have earned your pay and should get the benefit of your service! "There are those who believe there are two types of people in the world: Those who believe there are two types of people; and those who don't." John Mahoney... |

Whether it helps or not is a toss up. Like the OldCop said (He's a wealth of information). What he didn't say and you might want to know is that it will also stop your claim in its tracks, while the VA processes his request, looks at it, then has to write him back a CYA letter. Eres Tu! Freddy |

You bet it will stop a claim in it's tracks. Veterans must be very careful in keeping all parties fully informed about their status.

I think at the time, with all thats going on,,the CRSC 61 made me mad to put it easy. If Senator McConnell can help, let him help. If it slows down ,,lt will slow dow,,, im taking chance I know. SSgt65 |

VA SECRETARY PEAKE'S REMARK SMACKS OF AGE
DISCRIMINATION -- Says VA needs young, tech-savvy workers: "Getting rid of some of those older-age guys in the work force is not that bad. It gives you the opportunity to move forward." WOW!!!! But, on the other hand...maybe some of those "older-age guys" should go. How old is Secretary Peake, anyway? Doesn't look a day over 90 to me. http://www.navytimes.com/news/2008/08/military_va_peake_082108w/ |

Short Note:
If any wartime veteran is interested in the Veterans History Project and don't mind allowing your wartime experience become public for research and historical purposes and are interested in going to Washington D.C ( A Time and Date furnished a little later)Feel free to join me or meet me there. The contribution to veteran causes cannot be measured if you choose to participate, and you get your one time "In your Face...talk with congress" Contact me, and barring that, any thoughts on it is always welcome, so is criticism btw. Eres Tu! Freddy |
