Informative, thanks for posting.

why IS IT so hard to get benefits? why is it so complicated???? after serving mulitple tours in Iraq I went to CTC in Killeen Texas to find out how to use it. and the advisor wanted to talk about how to get more money NOT how I need to enroll in school.

This is one of the major reason why I'm going directly into enlistment after high school.

[memback01]

I need more money for the cost of living, with the economy the way it is and the fact that I have to compete with the thousands of other college students in a college town for jobs I need more options on how to acquire funds.

@J0erican Sorry to hear about the bulls*** you're having to put up with. Have you received your money yet and if so is the VA working properly now? Also, what legal excuse/loophole was used to allow them to withhold your rightful money? Any information would be greatly appreciated and would help others as well. Thanks so much again.

I'm not sure why its taking forever for everyone else, but I applied 2 weeks before my school started and I received my first couple of checks within a week or 2 after I started!

We had 60,000 of my brothers die in Nam and they have forgotten all about us. As an old infantryman, I am disgusted how they have treated us.

I served my country in Vietnam and suffer with a multitude of medical problems / 7 screws 5 rods and 2 connectors in my back and suffer severe Chronic Pain 24/7 to where cannabis could help but they "VA" say the only thing they can give me for my suffering of 43 years is Morphine!!! Which is worst, Smoking Some Pot Every Day? Or being stoned unconscious by morphine?
