Who can I contact to reopen my case for hearing aids?

Amn Dennis Burge — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 01:21:05 -0400

For 10 years I have tried to get hearing aids. I missed a Dr appointment that I didn't know about. Before then and after I have called, fill filled out forms to yhe amount that my file is 2 inches thick. Local reps don't know how to help.

I would recommend getting a hold of a DAV Representative and filing an appeal with the VA. Have you applied at the VA yet Amn Dennis Burge?

Calm down. The end of the world is not eminent. So you missed an appointment. Just call the scheduling department and talk to them. Be polite and explain what happened and why it happened and ask them to reschedule. I have literally moved mountains at the VA simply because I was friendly, polite, and told the VA people up front that I screwed up and I was sorry. Try this and see what happens. Call. Be polite, And be up front with them. Good luck.

Sir and Mr Burge,

I notice you served in 1962?
Are you looking for service connection for disability connected military service?
Are you looking just for medical care hearing aid?
I believe you should reach out directly to your senator in Durant Oklahoma.

In California my Senator Pelosi has a veteran service representative who wrote directly to the VA on my behalf. In your case I think this would be valuable. The other steps with appeals that last 10 years like yours need Senator assistance, given you years of service, and your needs.
