So yeah, for the 4th month in a row, Ive been paid about 1/3rd of what Im supposed to by the Veterans Administration and of course, this time sucks the most because its right before Christmas.

They havent payed me ANY of the back-money they owe me even though Ive been assured twice that all the paperwork was in order and Id get it all next payday. Well, 2 next paydays later, the bills are piling up, and those idiots havent done a freaking thing.

Outsource it. Outsource it all. I hate idiot government workers. I am broke because of imbeciles. How hard can it be? I just dont get it.

:mumble:

I think I got shafted, I got out and the gov just stopped paying me all together.

AHHHHH.......
I didn't think that you were disabled, though I do know someone who got out on a medical discharge because her hands were always cold......

I've gotta get my lazy butt back in school, take advantage of that GI Bill thing.
It doesn't surprise me that it takes forever to get paid (anyone who went TDY and filed a travel claim can vouch for the cryonic torpor of the finance people).

Silicon might help and I always get these spam e-mails that talk about "rejuvinating the pump" whatever that means. Check it out. :thumb:

Just think how loaded you're gonna be when you finally get the money. All this living on ramen and riding a broken bike will pay off.

getting money from the government NEVER qualifies as becoming loaded.

less worried that your landlords are going to force your sorry butt into the street, yes, loaded, no.

It's not like you'll be fighting stripper/gold diggers off of you.

Dude, those payments are so random. I can't tell you how many times I received letters stating I wouldn't be receiving a payment that month, but that I shouldn't worry because the payment would be tacked on to the end of my payment schedule. :confused: No reason given. :dead:

Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
Not to worry you (well maybe a little), I got the last of the money the Army / VA owed me about 5 years late. Eventually, it took my congressman to shake it loose.

My only recommendation is make sure that you keep DETAILED notes about the correspondences that you are having with them. Send them everything in writing via certified mail. Back that up with phone calls but they forget everything said in phone conversations.

:stupid: I didn't want to say anything, but I'm on his ignore list, so I will agree. Maybe he should get a job delivering pizzas instead of bitching about it and asking sock questions on the intraweb. :think:

Haha,

Yeah, my saving forever is about all that's kept me afloat since they've decided not to pay me. I dont know how their not paying me is a reflection of my poor money management? :confused:
