Years ago, I wrote an article, pasted at the bottom of this, about benefits taking too long to come though. I have had some recent experience that is baffling to me, and I wanted to hear from other vets on what their experiences have been like.

I'm back!
I wanted to write to let everybody know that I am going to be more active in writing on this blog once again. It's been a while, and a lot has happened with me, but I want to devote more time to helping fellow veterans.
There has been a shift in how the VA is treating veterans because of the spotlight on the VA in the media, and I wanted to hear from people to see what has been the biggest change they have seen so far. It could be from any part of the VA, whether it is medical, eligibility, vocational rehab, or any other program.
Please share your thoughts and check in with the blog to see what I am writing about. Thank you again!

Trouble Getting Disability Benefits: What Can We Do About It?
It has been very obvious to me that many of the people reading my blog were having the same trouble that I had with getting their disability benefits in a reasonable time. It took me over 18 months, 14 of which I could not work. The last 4 months I was forced to work through the pain to pay my bills. Many people do not know who they can turn to for help. I have received many emails from people that needed some pointers on how to get their benefits faster. There is no one answer, but one thing is for sure: WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Let's get a petition going. Please sign the petition below to show the government that we need to be treated better! Tell your friends to come on and sign the petition. I called it "Get Veteran Benefits in 4 Months or Less".

VA PTSD Disability Ratings
Today, many veterans are applying for a disability rating because of their PTSD. It sounds to me that many that have applied have not been granted a rating that is fair. It almost seems that the Department of Veterans' Affairs does not realize how debilitating it can be to not be able to sleep at night or to constantly re-live the traumatic events that are causing the PTSD. This is something that I have lived with for the past five years, and at times it has been difficult to even get out of bed or go out in public. I have been so agrivated at times that it is hard not to snap on the person who mildly irritates me, and at times I have felt my blood boiling over something that did not really matter.
