Default Human Purr Request

Purrs on the way. Even $700.00 more a month is a pretty modest stipend,
but it's clear what a difference it could make to you and your family.
Let's face it, nobody can take a luxury vacation on that. I hope things
work out in Rob's favor and yours soon, Pam.

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.

I suppose this could be because Rob is 100% unfit for army service, but
considered to be only 30% unfit for any other kind of work. Putting papers
in envelopes perhaps..
It's ridiculous.

Lots of purrs that Rob will get all the benefits he's entitled to make his
life easier.

Purrs that our 'government', which wastes billions on a senseless war in
Iraq, will do the right thing (for once) and provide you and Rob with
the things you need.
