Long awaited and long overdue. One website for everything coming May 20th. Unless I miss my guess, the people you’ll be talking to will sound like they’re from India. “Ah, Mr. Gordon. It is good that you have contacted to us. We here are to serve you. What is it for you that I do today?”
This thing is going to have more IT bugs than an old straw tick mattress in a computerized whorehouse. Hold off on using it to send your personal information for about six months and send it snail mail to Cheeseville or Newnan’s Own until they delouse the thing. Chances are the new Denver VAMC will get done sooner and have fewer cost overuns than this albatross. VA is fond of creating Swiss Army knife computers that do everything… eventually.
I tried to respond but that would amount to nothing short of what is already here.
Can’t help but wonder if the folks who built this site designed the obamacare site also
“By the end of the year, all veterans will be able to use Veterans.gov to manage more than 350 benefit programs without having to switch websites, call multiple numbers or file large amounts of redundant paperwork. Once veterans register, the new website will automatically know their eligibility levels for different programs and will tailor their experience using that information. The website will also notify the veteran of various programs they are eligible for but are not using.”
“Nothing can go wrong, gow rong, grong, go, oh, ohshit.”
Oh, Mr. King, did you get your supply of dried tiger penises and statue of Monkey God yet? Oh, right, Western medicine you want this time. At least our Indian medicine won’t kill you!
