“Blackstone accepted a mortgage-free house, and monthly veterans’ benefits”
How could he get that stuff without medical records and a 214 to back it up?
DD214 is just discharge form....hope his home is given to a more desevering vet
Perhaps people took him at his word & were probably too lazy to check his records.
Probably the mortgage company isn’t allowed to actually check that the information given by the applicant is true & accurate. Kinda like the DMV not being allowed by rule to inquire into an applicant’s citizenship status while they are required to push “motor-voter”.
Regulations confounding Law. Seems to be a theme where the liberals don’t like the Law.
Many have hoodwinked the VA over the years, the VA does not have a working relationship with the military branches. Meaning if you can fake your documents good enough for them they don’t cross check with Army, ETC. to make sure everything matches. Their computers do not speak to each other and though they were supposed to start verifying service claims years ago it is still hit and miss.
There have been people caught faking the whole thing, people who haven’t even served have gamed the system to get all sorts of VA benefits.
Sad thing is for every cheater caught, many who deserve benefits are stuck in a waiting pattern for their medical care, disability claims, and other benefits.
Somehow the cheaters can game the process while real disabled Veterans are often denied or wait years for their approvals.
