I am Still Frustrated With the VA!

When I first started this blog I was planning on detailing how I went about getting the rating that I believe that I deserve from the VA. So far, all I have been able to do is document how frustrated I am with the fact that I can't get those fracking assholes to do anything that I ask them to! I still don't have the medical records that I requested back in June or July! I still haven't been paid for that increase in rating on my back awarded over a year ago! So far, nothing I have done has worked to get those fracking assholes to pay me! Even contacting my congressman has produced no results so far! They know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they owe me and yet they keep stalling when it comes to actually paying me! I still don't know why those fracking assholes refuse to pay me! The last response that I got from the Appeals Management Center in DC was along the lines of, we got your application for benefits but we are too busy to process it. We are still deciding if we need more information to make a decision on your claim! I sent those idiots written proof that they owe me over 4 years back pay. Why are they still refusing to pay me?!?! I truly hope that someday I can put a success story on this blog! The other day I estimated that they currently owe me $9,880 in back pay! This is just an estimate based on a difference in pay of $190 per month. I don't know that actual pay differential for the past 4 years so all I can do is estimate it. By my figures, I will be owed over $10,000 in back pay by the time that I finally receive it! What truly sucks is that the VA is getting an interest free loan from me that I did not authorize! I am the one that needs an interest free loan! If it was me owing them over $9,000 and refusing to pay they would hit me with all kinds of interest and penalties! They would have the IRS or some collection agency after me! Why can't I do the same to them! It is simply not fair!
