They don't accept walk-ins I'm sick and I pain now not weeks from now! What medical facility doesn't accept walk-ins? Oh that's right the VA Clinc because they just don't care about us veterans, in my opinion they only care about the government paycheck they get. Our health issues can't wait weeks or months we need a facility and Doctors that actually care about seeing us get better now not on there schedule.

I have been using vocational rehabilitation benefits for about two years now. I have had five different counselors and I am never told I am getting a new one until it's been a month or more from hearing from the previous one. Recently I got a new counselor and was supposed to get back to for something a week later. A month later after a few emails and phone calls nothing. Communication needs to be improved upon.

No quick option to speak to a representative. Have to go through list after list before you are given an option. Average wait time for a call is well over an hour during which time you listed to the same 15 second jingle on a loop. If the system estimates your wait time for 20 minutes either 1) You'll wait over an hour OR 2) it just keeps playing the same jingle after they close for the day and no one answers your call. va.gov says my statement of case was mailed a week ago, but I haven't received it. Haven't received a new award letter either. Any other mail I get from here is delivered the same day considering I am a 10 minute drive from the office. So they deny claims very slowly, don't deliver mail, and meanwhile I'm given 60 days from the day they allegedly mailed the SOC to respond. Last time I called about this I was told they can't discuss my SOC until I receive it....So if I never receive it... If you drive here good luck, no way to enter and no one answers the door. If you wait an hour someone may come out to smoke and if you ask how to speak with someone considering your appeal and missing mail they ignore you. This place needs a brand new staff. One item I disputed in my claim was not addressed according to va.gov because it vanished. Want to see the SOC, but they probably just never mailed it because I haven't received it. Some may just say, "well what do expect from the VA?" BETTER, THIS OFFICE IS UNNACCEPTABLE! If you call the Chicago Regional VA for example, someone answers, speaks to you like a human being, and is helpful within 5 minutes waiting. The San Diego VA Regional Office needs to be audited at the very least

I'm looking for a couple of good lawyers too, myself. For other reasons But the Navy legal can possibly help with a veteran. Someone from the "militaryonesource" or ebenefits online, perhaps?

Sign up for a Direct Deposit. It is the best and expedient way to get your payments.If you can't get an account with bank or credit union I don't have any further advice.

how do i sign up for my va benefits

bob owens | Aug 20, 2019
Ron Smith | Aug 20, 2019

Go online to ebenefits.gov and fill out an application or get a veteran service officer (VFW, AMVETS, DAV, AMERICAN LEGION) they can also assist with filling an application. Additionally, the county your in should have a veteran service officer.

I had a claim and was being supported by the VFW. I heard nothing about the disposition of my claim, but notice that my payment was reduced in May 2018. I would like to speak to somebody about this but unable to find a phone number to VFW

Gerhard Royce | Aug 20, 2019
Gustavo Luevano | Aug 20, 2019

My experience is not to put much faith on a VSO. It is difficult to find a competent one. I gave up looking for one and did all the work myself. It took me a long time to educate myself but it has paid off. I am moving thru the VA a lot faster. It looks like it will take me 5 months to complete my claim; but it took over a year to learn how to navigate thru the VA process.It can only be done if you can't work. If you have a job, it is very time consuming.

If your new to the V.A . system or coming into it from another station point you might try going to the Med. Ctr.in La Jolla and make physical contact with them and I'm sure you will be less questioned and more informed after that!
