The same thing happened to my husband, a Vietnam Vet who died of Agent Orange poisoning.
For YEARS the VA jacked him around. We learned that their motto is: “Deny, deny, deny and hope they die”. He never saw his disability compensation, but I kept fighting and receive a portion of what should have gone to him.
Illegals and foreign countries get our tax dollars in a heart beat, but AMERICAN HEROES? That’s another story.
God bless your neighbor and all our wounded Vets.
I did not know that. I’m so sorry. God bless your husband (may he rest in peace) and you and all of our veterans.
