Some of us have been battling the VA for years, some more than other. Its a hard battle that its mostly us wives doing it. I think my dh would be in the ground if I had not been fighting for his mental health. Its a constant battle. But there are days the battle is so worth it. Am I done fight the VA? Heck no been fighting since 2006  I will continue to fight till he gets what he has earned. A service officer will tell you to never give up, because the whole process is just crazy and that's why you have so many homeless vets. They can't deal with the maze the VA has vets try and maneuver for they earned benefits. I laid back for a while and I am gearing up to fight again. Never lay back for a year, Just keep it going.

Reality is determined not by what scientists or anyone else says or believes but by what the evidence reveals to us.
