(12,894 posts)Both my parents are vets of WWII (mom was an Army nurse) and the hoops she's had to jump through to get my dad's pension after his death have been ridiculous. More on that another time.
Have you contacted someone in social services for the VA hospital near you? They sometimes can pull strings and work through the red tape. I worked in Social Services with a nursing home and we dealt with the VA regularly. It was always a pain in the ass! One of the biggest problems is the info getting shuffled from one desk to another. Some of my VA residents sat for hours up there waiting to be seen or get help. It took staying on them to get things done.
Do you have someone who can help you do some of the leg work? Keep us informed. I will see what I can find out on this end.
Hang in there and tell your mom there is a way.
