Sgt Douglas Mellen - We can post a reply on the chat or message you directly. What questions did you have?
Sgt Jaime Fox
Are there any programs that assist women veterans on Maternity leave? I am currently pregnant and am trying to plan ahead for the future. My employer provides unpaid leave up to 12 weeks, but as a single mother I am not sure how I can keep my bills paid and purchase everything needed for a new child for 3 months without any income. Any assistance would be appreciated thank you.

Why is the VA allowed to take 105 days to review 1-2 documents to verify a dependents school enrollment?

PO1 Sharon Jackson - A representative just tried to call you and was not able to get connected. They have sent an email to the one on file.

SGT Arlene Perez - thank you, I didn't expect nor recognize the #. I have answered her email and appreciate the assistance
Come back to me when you actually serve all who served then we can talk. Till then I've learned 3 things from the VA.
1. I can't get breast cancer
2. If it does happen their responsibility ends with cutting the bresdt off and leaving the scar behind.
3. Trans individuals cannot get raped
3a. If a Trans Vet shows to a VA and says they have been raped they will be sent home.
3b. Begging is required to secure a STD blood test after being raped.
