Oh that sounds horrible. I wonder why they have to prolong such process.

Can you say "government"?

The VA is much like Social Security. The more they deny claims the better chance the claimant will give up. We are trying to get our son SSI. After being denied several times we got an attorney. He gets 25% of the back pay so he has delayed things for about two years. We’ve been trying for about 3 years.

Yeah, and if you buy it at 62, it's still a good deal if you travel. 3 National Park entrances and it's paid for itself. Then tack on the half price camping and it's silly how much you can save with that card. There are even certain states that honor the card for state parks. I know Arkansas does, and Louisiana honored my senior card because my home state does.

There is an Access Pass that is free for people with disables. It is a lifetime pass. All you have to do is get a letter from your doctor describing you problem and take it to a visitors center at any National Park. It is a lifetime pass.

Pay off the credit cards, keep them 30 days net -- no interest.
