ALL THESE QUESSHUNS


I love this. Member JM has been pestering the vA to give him an expedite on his claim. He’s homeless but has now moved in with the folks and is staying in the basement more often than the streets. Since he lost his house he has no late electric bills or overdue mortgage payments. Try telling that to vA…

Dear Mr.

This is in response to your recent inquiry to our office dated Julyl 13, 2012, regarding your request for hardship legal code or VA policy:

There is not a legal code or VA Policy, however it is a Station Policy that in order for your claim to be processed under the expedite criteria you must submit evidence of a terminal disability or a financial hardship – 1) Facing Foreclosure, 2) Facing Eviction, or 3) Cutoff notice for electricity or other utility bills.

Thank you for contacting us. If you have questions or need additional help with the information in our reply, please respond to this message or see our other contact information below.

Dear Mr.

There are specific criteria for hardship request. Unfortunately, your bankruptcy and overdue VA medical bill does not meet the criteria for a hardship request. A hardship request should include evidence such as foreclosure notice, past due utilities statement, and eviction notice.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr.

This is in response to your inquiry regarding your VA benefits.

We are working on your compensation claim for your back and right knee conditions. Our records show your claim is pending awaiting development. After an initial review of your file, we will release a Veterans Claims Assistance Act (VCAA) letter to you. This letter will provide a description of the benefit sought, and inform you of any additional evidence needed to support your claim. A review of your file shows we are pending receipt of your hardship documentation. Please resubmit this information to us via facsimile or U.S. Mail. Your hardship documentation should include evidence to support your hardship request (ex. foreclosure notice, past due utilities statement, and eviction notice). The contact information is listed below. We are processing claims as expeditiously as possible. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you for contacting us. If you have questions or need additional help with the information in our reply, please respond to this message or see our other contact information below.

Sincerely yours,

Them fellers are so helpful. Always looking out for the Vet. Fortunately for JM, he no longer has a mortgage or worries of eviction.

    Well, he no longer has any hardships since he’s couch hopping at the folks, so he won’t be need the homeless HUD-VA vouchers that a few lucky folks got. But If he’s near the VT VA, I read somewhere that he might be eligible for a tent and camping supplies from the VA homeless program. I kid you not. (But hurry, the supply is limited.) This is how they plan on easing homelessness in 5 years?
