Just something to consider

The Veteran's Administration supposedly has a backlog of 900,000 claims and the average claim is taking 273 days. For medical disability claims.

If I can get my NOA2 in 7-8 months I will feel lucky.

We'll probably all get to be with our loves. Stay positive.

I saw that story on 60 Minutes last week, tragic. I see so many posts here about people wanting to contact Senators after a month of their NOA1, people need to be patient, just as our noble veterans are. I wish the system would change, for everyone.

Here's the story I believe you are referring to ... <http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57469804/massive-veterans-affairs-backlog-leaves-half-a-million-waiting-for-benefits/>

Thank you for posting, it does show that we are not alone in having the government falling far short of its service level standards. At the end of the day, we are all left to contact officials and the media and fight for our own and others in our group, just as Aaron Helstrom in the video did.

it really sucks that benefits are delayed. veterans worked their a** off on deployments and drills then do not receive proper benefits...
