Human Purr Request
Purrs on the way. Even $700.00 more a month is a pretty modest stipend,
but it's clear what a difference it could make to you and your family. Let's face it, nobody can take a luxury vacation on that. I hope things work out in Rob's favor and yours soon, Pam. Melissa |

Human Purr Request
Huge strong purrs for your wonderful family.
Susan M Otis and Chester "Pamela Shirk" wrote in message link.net... As most of you know, my husband, Rob, was retired from the army with brain cancer. The army has declared Rob as being 100% disabled, but the Veterans Administration, who are the people who ultimately pay Rob's bills, decided that Rob was only 30% disabled and send him $500 a month because he receives medicine for seizures. We've appealed the decision and have filed for a hearing and for his case to be re-considered. We also contacted our congressman to ask for his help. Today we got a letter from our Congressman, Robin Hayes, saying that he has been in touch with the VA, and that they have received our request for reconsideration/hearing and that it is waiting for consideration. I know this may sound greedy, but could you please ask your friends to purr that the bozos realize that Rob doesn't have a hang nail and needs full disability? The change in status would mean $700 more a month, Mandy's and my college would be covered by the VA, and Rob would be able to get more of the things he needs.

I suppose this could be because Rob is 100% unfit for army service, but considered to be only 30% unfit for any other kind of work. Putting papers in envelopes perhaps.. It's ridiculous.
