The worst place on earth. Im a veteran, served honorably, I get the worst service here. Appointments are lightyears from when you need them. Forget about getting anyone on the phone. I'm from Atlanta, so unfortunately I am stuck with this VA center.

2010 My official exit date from US Army. 2011 Neck siezed up to the point I lost most movement. Contacted the VA in regards to the conditions and explained that I had service connected disabilities that I needed work on and an appointment was scheduled. This same year, I went to the scheduled appointment and was seen 4 hours later than my sceduled time. Just for them to prescribe Ibuprofen. No information was given in regards to the service connected disabilities. 2012 Still nothing. Closed my claim 2013 Still nothing Closed my claim 2014 Contacted Congress and was able to receive some care and slight comphensation Closed my claim 2015 Still nothing Closed my claim 2016 XRAY of neck showed arthritis but they explain it is not service connected. Mailed certain C&P exams to correct address and sent the Neck and Back C&P exam to address that I have not lived in 15 years, but all the other C&P exams showed up to the correct address 2017 Still nothing Closed my claim 2018 Still nothing Closed my claim 2019 Still nothing Closed my claim 2020 Still nothing Closed my claim 2021 Contacted Congress, they could not help in regards to the back. Still nothing Closed my claim 2022 Back increased 10%. Keep in mind, this injury prevented me from a career in the military and made me change my job description entirely and now still haunts me. VA denies my neck even though that I have arthritis in it which becomes very painful. I am 39 y/o and now currently unemployed. How can the VA close my claims without even being seen by a doctor? I cannot perform certain jobs due to these injuries and it is very degrading that I will be losing everything that I worked so hard for. How can an incompetent employee make mistakes that prevents me from getting the disability I deserve?

I am on 2 drugs for a number of years and my Cigna Insurance & Drug manufactorers have raised my co- pay so much I am in the donut hole and me cost to me are prohibitive. Can the VA help me just thru 12/31/22 on a monthly supply of 2 drugs?

John Barranco | Aug 22, 2022
Jackie “Jax” Jackson | Aug 22, 2022

Not sure but you can call the number that goes to Philly and mention you are having financial troubles paying medical bills to where you don't have money for things and if it affects ability to even eat. This can get your ball rolling to see if there are options. Other than this check with Fort Mac to see if there is a social worker or case worker who can help you.

Francis Nadspal | Feb 23, 2022
Queen Venus | Feb 23, 2022

If you are requesting records from VBA (service medical records/service treatment records), you can send a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request. All information and forms are located at https://www.va.gov/FOIA/Requests.asp . Click on the VBA link provided. If you are requesting records from VHA (the VA Hospital), you can go to the same website, click on VHA link to find your VA hospital and information. Hope this helps.

I called the VA 800 number and was told that the regional office can provide a copy of my C-file if I come there in person. I will drive 4.5 hours to come there if this is true. Can I get it the same day if I drive there?

Kyle B | Oct 22, 2019

Depends on what information you are trying to get exactly. Anything from your service time you usually have to request and then it is mailed to you. Anything after your service time you can go to the basement floor and go to the records office. But your claims records which is what a c file is. Yes you should have no problem getting that in person.

You can call and they will transfer to to the department that can solve you problem. It takes awhile on the phone but I have always got results, make sure you have all documents related to you problem in hand when you call, you may at some point have to email copies of documents to them. I have always got good results and have always been treated nicely

Tonjia Turner | Oct 22, 2018
Ed Crain | Oct 22, 2018

Call the VA and ask, first go on line to the VA site and find the department that handles that benefit, once you call the VA rep that you speak to can transfer you to the rep that can get you the answer. It takes time so expect to be on the phone for awhile, there are a lot of veterans using the VA service so waiting on hold is normal, relax and take time to wait

Is this the office I come into file a claim?

Joyce Miller | Oct 22, 2017
Ed Crain | Oct 22, 2017

No, your best bet is to go to a Georgia Department of Veterans Services, they have offices all over the state. They will help you file a claim, US Veterans office requires you to have a authorized agency to process you claim, you will need your military records 214 and any medical records available to you, they can request those records you don't have, start you claim asap because it's the date they use to back date your claim if approved. (2) get enrolled in the VA Medical program, important! (3) if have a civilian doctor and he is treating you for any condition related to military service get a letter from him or her explaining your condition and documents relating to service connected cause, very iimportant. Don't waste your time going agents that charge a fee, or volunteers that don't have the knowledge to get your claim approved, you will have to work hard to get all the info to them that you have access to
