form for everything and that s part of of the problem. recently, i talked with the v. a. and i had a letter i submitted to them on a case in the last week of november. it was finally processed and brought into the record last wednesday. it s unbelievable. the time it takes to get things processed. the entire system seems to be pointing towards the methodology rather than results. if you re an ailing veteran and you show up at a v.a. hospital, do you have to show i.d.? do you have to go through paperwork? democrats are saying showing i.d. to use food stamps is discriminatory and mean but vets have to jump through hoops to get benefits. even to enter a have felt a. hospital you have to show identification. either a v.a. i.d. card or a retired military i.d. or oh active duty card just to get in. once you get there. you may or may not be eligible
