Why is this happening? It is happening
because a few high ranking personnel within the VA system do not want
to lose their bonuses of up to a million dollars. Yes, that is
right. Starting with the Secretary for Veteran Affairs and down to
the State offices, they have gotten so used to the bonuses, they will
do anything to keep them.
This includes declaring up to 6,000 living
veterans deceased in the US and ending their benefits. It also includes
increasing the paperwork to prevent eligible veterans from obtaining
benefits. In the last several years, the schemes have multiplied to
prevent veterans from receiving benefits.
The members of our support group have
generally received benefits, but many are being delayed and or
rescheduled for periods up to three months. I have been postponed
now for the last three times and various excuses are given me.
Other than the fact I don't like
traveling when it is snowing, I will now need to take my chances and
now I will be forced to travel in either January or February. I had avoided this for several years,
but continued delays will now make this happen.
We know this is being directed by
someone at the state level and it involves transfers of doctors, and someone in the local office providing information to that person.
Do I expect repercussions from this
blog? Possibly, but I am not sure what will happen. I do know how I
will react if there are problems.
