Disabled vets stuck in backlog limbo

[TBF]

7. My dad has been getting that for years -

his disability was a few years earlier than Agent Orange (earlier defoliants that they took over to Viet Nam) but we just lucked out in being from a small town. His VA counselors were tremendously helpful. All of his exposure was documented (also wartime service) and he was able to retire and have surgery about 30 years ago. He lives in a very small town to keep his expenses down but it's within an hour of a very good VA hospital. They've been very good to him and really to all of us - my siblings and I qualified for the GI bill due to his wartime disability. But I have no doubt that any republicans will do their best to slash his benefits - it's what they do to former military.
