A little V.A. fun

[konrue66]

The steps in a V.A. claim. It has only taken a year to get to step 6 this step can take up to 4 months and can be kicked back to step 3 also most of the time it gets denied and an appeal takes 2 to 4 years. Please pray for me and my family. Thanks

Good Luck.I was approved in early 2010 after finding I have severe COPD and doing a triple bypass on me in Oct of 2009.Had been unemployed since April of 08 and was 55 at that time.The VA offered me up to $1200 something a month if I had nothing else.My SSDI payed more.I still pay $100 a month to medicare and don't use it.
