VA welcomes Student Vets to the hamster wheel.


Just when we thought it could not get any worse, with the Veterans disability claim backlog approaching one million, the VA figures out another method to make it still worse for Vets.

It wasnt enough to turn disabled Vets world upside down by delaying benefits, so Student Vets are welcomed to the VA hamster wheel.

No, I did not think it could get worse, either, but leave it to the VA to figure out how to make things still harder for Vets.  Here is how they accomplished just that:   Instead of limiting the backlog to 1,000,000 disabled Veterans seeking benefits, the VA said, “Why stop there?”

Lets expand the backlog logjam to include Student Veterans, also.

And, the vA can ask the colleges to “cover for the VA” so that too many Vets won’t complain and put pressure on the President and Congress to ACTUALLY DO something about the backlog, other than make more unkept promises to reduce it.

Here is what Veterans think of the new government expansion program to logjam student Veterans also:

What? You mean you are delaying Student Vets benefits also? Who’s in charge of this outfit?

This Vet was not happy with an email explaining his student Vets benefits will be delayed either:

I can’t afford for my GI bill benefits to be delayed! I need my money now. I can’t call JG Wentworth.

The real tragedy, however, is if Vets get mad enough to do this:

Are the VA’s delays enough to make Vet’s THIS mad? It looks like the VA wants to find out the hard way.

    From the movie starship Troopers:

    Jean Rasczak: “All right, let’s sum up. This year in history, we talked about the failure of democracy, how the social scientists of the 21st Century brought our world to the brink of chaos. We talked about the veterans, how they took control and imposed the stability that has lasted for generations since. We talked about the rights and privileges between those who served in the armed forces and those who haven’t, therefore called citizens and civilians.”

    Only Veterans could be Citizens, therefore only military Veterans could vote! 🙂
