Disabled vets stuck in backlog limbo

2. My friend, who is a Viet Nam Era Vet

Told me that he had to wait five years to get 100% disability. First it was 50% disability, then 75% and finally 100%. The difference is of course more money to live on. He can not work, so he lives on this. He told me that it takes a lot of time and effort to find proof, to get supported letters from Doctors, and to find a decent advocate who works on helping Vets get the needed help. In California they have an excellent facility in Ft. Miley but there are a ton of Vets going there, and I am sure it becomes frustrating. I can't even imagine.
