Dear Senator Dole and Secretary Shalala,

  Severance pay

      No one is talking about this "great deal" of Military Disability Severance Pay and the VA's process of Taking it back from the service member called "Re-Couping" until it is payed back in full to the VA.

      Lets check into that law and open that can of worms.

Because someone passed a law several years ago while "All" the disabled vets were asleep and no one got to question this illegal and unconstitutional act!

      I have been fighting my case for over four years and will continue. Yes, you get Severance Pay, but when you first check in to the VA for the first time after you leave active service, you Will Not get paid anything until this Severance Pay is Re-Couped.

      It's a Mess and is run like a mob organization.

    Please help Expose this huge problem!!!

If you want another disability story, e-mail me back. Someone is going to break this story wide open soon, one day!

    I would like to bring to your attention a VA issue that has not been publicly acknowledged yet. Whether people do or do not know about this issue, their response is, (it's the law). You can ask State Senator Kit Bonds office. They have had my case file for the VA for 130 days as of June 14, 2007. They are apparently getting played as I am by our VA system.

      "Military Disability Severance Pay".

      I have been fighting my case since 2003 and am still working on trying to get this worked out.

        I was permanently injured in 1999 on active duty. I haven't and will not ever be the same again.

        I don't know what year the congress and senators had a late night vote on taking back Medical Disability Severance Pay from the United States Veterans in this country, but I do know is that this story hasn't broke just yet to the press like Walter Reed. It could have been the Defense Dept. or the Pentagon that came up with this unconstitutional rule. Right now the Defense Dept. is calling it "the current requirement". As far as I am concerned, the talaban or al queda came up with this, Not Our Leaders in the United States!

        If You politicians get injured at work is your disability severance pay going to be re-couped in full by the VA?

        Or how about these CEO's and their Severance pay packages? Cars, houses, planes etc etc etc. Are they going to be re-couped by the Gov. until paid in full?      What kind of double standard deal is this? "Our Veterans are our Highest priority".

Lip service.

        The Director of the Veterans Affairs should have been fired months ago and all of the bonus money that he awarded his incompetent staff should have been fired also and that money given to the Disabled American Veterans.

      None of this would be getting Any attention right now if those two reporters hadn't got a hold of the Walter Reed corruption scandal.

      I am tired of lip service, time limits, we'll get back with you, this Un American attitude towards our Disabled Veterans.
