  • Finally the news at least starts picking up on this. The VA doesn't care. I still havent been paid for my summer class since I switched over. My cable and internet are off, I have to use the schools computer labs, my power is getting shut off next week, and I won't have rent unless they pay me. At least I can use my disability to get food n stuff. The shitty part is, others who were certified AFTER me got paid already. I am so proud I got fucked up by a mortar for this shithole country.

  • hurry vA!!!

  • kick vets out of schools? ever heard of Stafford Loans?

  • I'm in the same boat. Not asking for a handout, just what I was promised. This is very frustrating.

  • Started school August 28 and still have not received any money.!! I did however get the Emergency fund which still does not cover all that they owe me. I am in So Cal so that $3,000 check just taken out my debt. I don't have a job because of this new GI Bill, so now I have to worry about no money, school, and now I am moving back home because I can't afford this.

  • got my $3,000 couple weeks ago. Still haven't gotten regular payments, stipend, books.

  • Starting Oct 2nd you can go to a regional office and receive up to $3000 advance payment. More info at gibill. va. gov

  • PLEASE HURRY VA...!!!! we;re going super broke....

  • Yeah this is straight bullshit. The VA needs to step it the fuck up.

  • SO BS they have not have paid most people
