How have you been dealing with the broo-haha that is the VA Disability system? Do any of the Service Organizations (American Legion, DAV, etc) help? How long has it taken you to get your Disability Compensation?

Well I think the popularity of Painkiller Jane makes everyone think woman are invincible.

I didn't have a problem getting my disability - within a few months of retiring.
But I know that right now, it is taking quite a bit longer because of the backlog of injured coming back from Iraq.
DAV, etc, claim to be lobbying groups, but they don't offer any help to individuals.
I've found the best way to deal with VA when I have had issues is to call and try to speak to a human - or go to the closest office - often!
