Human Purr Request
 
As most of you know, my husband, Rob, was retired from the army with brain
cancer. The army has declared Rob as being 100% disabled, but the Veterans
Administration, who are the people who ultimately pay Rob's bills, decided
that Rob was only 30% disabled and send him $500 a month because he receives
medicine for seizures. We've appealed the decision and have filed for a
hearing and for his case to be re-considered. We also contacted our
congressman to ask for his help.

Today we got a letter from our Congressman, Robin Hayes, saying that he has
been in touch with the VA, and that they have received our request for
reconsideration/hearing and that it is waiting for consideration. I know
this may sound greedy, but could you please ask your friends to purr that
the bozos realize that Rob doesn't have a hang nail and needs full
disability? The change in status would mean $700 more a month, Mandy's and
my college would be covered by the VA, and Rob would be able to get more of
the things he needs.

It doesn't sound greedy at all. It snot like Rob is making it up or claiming
disablement because of the better parking places. I'm sure if he was
actually only 30% disabled, the army would inisit he still do 70% work!
He's entitled to the payment, and therefore should get the payment, simple
as that. Hisspits of beuracracy, and purrs that the hearing comes up quickly
and goes your way.

IF the army has retired him for being 100 percent disabled, and if he
is too ill to work, then asking for purrs is not greedy. Greedy is
wanting money because you can't be bothered to work, not wanting money
because you need it because he cannot work.

I remember being really sick in 2004, being on medication that made me
sleep 16 hours a day, losing a job for being too tired and weak to work
up to standard, and not getting crap all from anyone.

So, many purrs are coming your way.

I hope the cancer is controllable? Purrs for /that/ as well.
