I finally found the words to thank President Biden and his staff for their assistance in securing permanent and total disability benefits for my husband. I sent the thank you today.
After more than a decade of denials, it only took the White House staff two months to process my plea for help and encourage the VA to do the right thing.
We were in shock for a time, and my husband needed to process the fact that this battle was won. Lots of feelings to deal with and stories of his service in Vietnam came pouring out. We talked a lot about how veterans should not be subjected to all of this after the fact trauma created by the VA disability rating system. If you need help, you need help. It's that simple.
It has been an uphill battle, and even though all the medical challenges remain, it feels good to win for once.
We are thankful.
