Human Purr Request
On 2006-03-26, Pamela Shirk penned:
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. Veterans risk their lives for a pretty meager pay; the least we can do is give them adequate benefits. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

If only the current administration supported veterans as they deserve! Not just the current administration. Hilary tried to use the military honor guards as waitstaff when they first went into the White House. We're still fighting for retirement pay. You see, the military earns %50 or better of their final base pay after they retire, unless they're disabled. Then the retired pay is reduced by the amount of VA disability compensation one gets, unless on is 20+ years before retirement, and has %100 disability. Rob will receive both full VA and military benefits, if he survives to be 62. Pam S. saddened by how the government treats its defenders |

If only the current administration supported veterans as they deserve! What do you expect from people who managed to avoid any active service, because they had wealthy parents? I see all those adds on TV touting the various armed services, and notice they talk a lot about college credits and stuff like that, but never mention the pay - or that at present you're more likely to find yourself facing bullets in Iraq than college profs in America. -- NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth |

There is nothing greedy in this! You all have a family to consider, and your
husband's a veteran and deserves better for his service. Bravo for the Congressman, I'm glad to see that someone's using his elected office for something good! Purrs on the way for your appeal, and Rob's health...and give him a Thank You from one who values her freedom. Blessed be, Baha Pamela Shirk wrote: 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.

Even better: Countdown With Keith Olbermann, on MSNBC. Keith is the kind of
fellow who would eat a story like this for lunch, and invite you to share.
