I write this letter with hopes that someone who reads this will have a heart and do something. I am a retired veteran who attends the Fayetteville VA hospital. I have had my rights violated and have tried to talk with the director of the VA hospital I even requested a formal investigation to be done by Washington through my congressman and nothing has happened except my va claim has come to a complete stand still. Retaliation I think so. I don't understand how I can be transported to the hospital to Emergency and then have a VA cop write charges on me for parking a car illegally and I was not driving, who was well it was a 24 year disabled retired Veteran driving his vehicle but somehow you say DMV gave you my name and address wow my 2 year old could have caome up with a better lie. so I took it to my congressman with all the proof that it was a false report(so much JAG would not even let it go to court they dropped it) and the cop oh he still works there laughing at me when he sees me Talking about abusing power.Now my compensation claim is stalled on someones desk awaiting a decision since August 8. Did the request a phone inquiry and it was ignored. It is amazing to me that a woman can be raped in the military and when they gey out the system rapes them all over again. Men still run it all and if you try to fight for your rights they stone wall you just violating you all over again. Then to and injury to insult you send me emails about what you are doing for veterans, I didnt get my retroactive stop loss cause no one in Fayetteville knew or at least that is what I was told and My TSGLI claim oh my primary VA doctor told me ther VA doesn't do these( but you are my doctor) I could not even get them to accept my records from Ft Bliss claiming it was too much to send. Around and around we go and you wonder why Veterans are homeless and why they are committing suicide? Please stop spending money saying you are gonna do right by veterans and just do it. Stop paying all these so called helpers at the call center for the VA what for to stall veterans and give the people working the cases more people to help solve these claims. Its sad when you go to war just to come home and realize I helped fight your war and now I have to fight another war to be able to survive with my children. Oh yeah and your retirement pay for soldiers who get hurt but don't have 20 years or more is the Slap in the face and Stab in the back it gives me about $574 but because the VA gives me a little over $400 right now I get a whole $100 from the Army and I am supposed to live off of that. I can't work anymore and this is what you call supporting the veterans, where is my support OH Yeah sitting on someones desk in WInston-Salem VA STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL waiting for a decision.... I sit around and on nights like tonight I wonder if I was to go stand in front of the VA and kill myself will that make it easier on my children maybe then the government will see that my benefits come so my children can survive. So I ask this to you all When you sit at you expensive tables in your big houses and parade around on TV in your nice clothes and you are making these budgets to keep the rich richer and the poor poorer, do you wonder where you would be if I were you and you were me? I DIDN'T THINK SO.
