why is it taking so long to hear appeals? I have been waiting six years come this fall and am told this is normal. I filed same paperwork to the Social Security office and had a check the next month!!! I am the wife of a nam vet with severe mental problems one being ptsd with schizophrenia I have been with him since three months in country, signed him off the mental ward in 2005 being told I couldn't handle his problems his final manic attack came in 2019 and his mind is gone and I am the enemy. He has been deemed dangerous by many agencies and the V.A. and unable to handle his affairs which he got over turned by what I consider a BAD shrink I have reported many and NO ONE LISTENS. case in point veteran suicidal I told this shrink he had been threatening to kill himself the dr asked him if this was true, he said yes then the dr says but you were only doing it to upset her right and the vet said yes NOTHING WAS DONE !! I can't tell you the times I was told there is no place for him or he's too violent you have to come get him from a va hosp treating ptsd !!!! He has been convicted of threatening my life over this appeal I can't get anyone to put him on a ward or in a nursing home that is locked. He is not only a danger to me but to anyone has attacked several people besides me. Why are dangerous veterans allowed to walk around free, and I have to sit and worry about my life every day???? I submitted a garnishment for alimony that came from a State court there should be no reason for the V.A. not to honor that lawful order. My case has been mishandled a few times, and it actually has me in two appeals, and one review is one example. Also why is the V.A. not connected with info from Social Security this being the reason I was denied, hardship on veteran, because the va was unaware he had another income. Also, I was awarded a stipend for his ed comes in my name, but he gets the check?? We have been apart for almost six years why would the va even being paying this award anymore and if it's for me then I should have gotten the last twelve thousand and seventy-five dollars not him. I am struggling to survive go hungry at the end of the month, my bills are behind and i have been declared disabled mainly due to my mental state of what i went through dealing with him, in heart, liver, and kidney failures, trying to recover from hurricane Helena and I can't even get this heard due to hardship, meanwhile the veteran lives off almost six thousand dollars a month most of which he blows brags he spends fifteen hundred a month on marijuana alone !

You know what civilian lady. Get a job! I could sit here all day trying to explain a color to someone whom is blind. But I’m not. He’s not your husband and from what it sounds like all you get is USAA until you remarry. You didn’t serve our country. That’s one hell of a thing to say. Your owed nothing!! His biological children yes if granted an award.
So he smokes buds, good for him! He is not smoking 1500 per month on weed, that shits free. Stop taking his inventory , take your own self inventory before this kinda crap. You’re not a veteran and you should not be here posting here. Go away! The VA doesn’t like you because you’re a sniveler. They have nothing to say to you. Your just a whiny x spouse trying to get government money from your disabled divorced husband….. jeeez crazy civilians , wow

Subject: Is A Military Veteran Entitled To Care And Supplies, Through ANY Va Facility, Regardless Of Where He Resides?
~~ My Question To Benefits.Gov ~~
"Is A Military Veteran Entitled To Care And Supplies,
Through ANY VA Facility, Regardless Of Where He Resides"?
~~ This Is Their Reply~~
YES, a military veteran can receive medical products from out-of-state VA facilities, even if they are not living there. ~~ (Miscellaneous, But Read & Retain) ~~
However, the veteran must be eligible for VA care without needing to enroll or be enrolled in VA health care 1. The eligibility for community care is dependent upon a veteran’s individual health care needs or circumstances 1. In most cases, veterans must receive approval from VA prior to obtaining care from a community provider 1. VA staff members generally make all eligibility determinations 1. Please note that VA is not authorized to ship medications or medical/surgical supply items outside of the U.S. or its territories 2. If you’re a veteran who lives overseas, you remain entitled to the benefits and services you earned through your military service. Most VA benefits are payable regardless of your place of residence or nationality 3. If you’re moving outside the U.S., you’ll need to sign up for the Foreign Medical Program. Through this program, VA will pay for certain needed health care services received in foreign countries to treat a service-connected disability or a disability that’s making a service-connected condition worse 4.
I hope this helps!
