INJURED WITHOUT COMPENSATION?

Have you been injured on duty? Have you been turned down for your Veterans Affairs pension? Received a very small compensation payment? Received grief and frustration with the process?

My first reaction was typical: FIGHT. But I have come to the decision that the system we have is going to have to do and if we all work together, we will eventually iron out the kinks.

Contact the Bureau of Pension Advocate to get help, their number is in the last paragraph of your letter from DVA.

I have spent 22 years in the Forces and have been an advocate for our soldiers. Our Recruiting slogan is Fight: Fear, Distress, Chaos.

Although it feels like a bureaucracy, our system and the people in it will work.

We just have to have faith.
