Update on Getting My Back Pay Continued
I went to
www.house.gov and put my zip code into the form there. I found out that my congressman is Adam Putnam. I went to his website and filled out the form there asking for his help with the VA problem. I got what looks like an autoresponder message that he will eventually get back to me after he has read my message. I don't expect anything to happen before January 2 because his staff is probably on Christmas vacation. I hope that I can get his help via email and phone calls because I really do
not want to have to drive all the way to Bartow, Florida to see him in person. It is about 40 miles one way.

Still Frustrated With The VA
It has now been over a year since the BVA agreed to increase the disability rating on my back! I
still have not been paid for that increase! So far,
nothing that I have done has worked to get these jerks to pay me! Recently, I sent another letter to the Appeals Management Center in DC telling them that I am owed some money and I sent proof that I am owed. So far, I haven't gotten a reply of any kind. I gave them until the end of 2007 to pay me. If they don't I will go in person to both of my US senators and to my congress person. One of the three will help me with this problem, I hope. So far, I have been ignored by both Senator Bill Nelson and Congressman Gus Bilirakus when I asked them for help! I got a flier from Gus Bilirakus, but when I called his office I was told that I am not in his district. I need to find out definitely for sure who my congress person is and contact him or her. Right now, I am owed over 4 years back pay which is over $9,000! I really do need that money now!
