Army Fires General in Charge of Walter Reed

Submitted by kevin flaherty, Mar 15, 2007 08:29

i have been fighting the VA red tape now for 18 years for my disability, and have been lied to had my record lost for 2 years , had my c& p exams forgotten about , had my service officer who represents my will being and is sopossed to fighting for me expessed that i'm to young to have to be given the same rights as older vets. My ratting has gone in 18 years after 6 operations from a 20 % to a 130 % disability rating but i can not get a 100% disability because they say i still have the ability to work. I have been on social security disability for 4 years, but one goverment agency does not care about the other . I was told last week that if I get my disability ratting to 160% disability then the VA will pay me for 100% disability.
