Nearing the end for me?

I was so proud 29 years ago when I became a U.S. Marine. Now that I am a quadriplegic from my service its amazing how they, the "@DeptVetAffairs" and "@DeptofDefense" just turn a blind eye and deaf ears to me?  I was told my condition was service related and approved until a V.A. Dr. Lied about my medical condition. "He will be sued"  The OKC V.A. even offered my daughter payment for taking care of me "Tax Free" we were told.  Now 4 years later we are told that she owes back taxes on that money? She gave up her career for me to keep me out of a nursing home, what a kick in the guts. What will become of us?....Would not claim #PTSD but over the 8 years my case has been in appeal,  the @DeptVetAffairs rating evaluation doctor and my @PVA1946 officer has made me sick with untruths and delays.

VA is killing me!

Aid and Assistance

This was transferred from Okc VA to Muskogee, when this was started in Okc we were told "Three of us" it was non-taxable and was told nothing about it being monitored. Now Val, my daughter/caregiver  is in tax trouble, I had a doctor lie to the board of appeals about me, have my social security garnished for my meds and I proved my case years ago and even had a witness.

The Marine Corps caused and or exposed this illness, now I sit here, a bag of bones no therapy feeling like I've been put on hospice care and forgotten. Is this the end for me?

Now it looks like I'm going to have to sell everything I own/have left to hire an attorney to help us with this  mess.

More Appeal time with @DeptVetAffairs

Shot down by @DeptVetAffairs again. Its not over, ive got 8 more years and plenty of pain meds.  lets roll!
Unless of course I die first, (that's what they would like to see), then my family takes over :-)

My case was approved until a V.A. doctor examined me and fabricated a false report. I have 2 witnesses to the visit, so why keep wasting my time and theirs?

Its just that simple!

“It is the established policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs that all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities shall be rated totally disabled.”  I've proved it, docs and witness statements. 8 years and counting...

Why

@DeptVetAffairs  Why do 3 vets I know play golf, go to casinos and do what normal men do while they are 100% disabled when I sit in a wheel chair unable to feed, dress or even drive my chair.  Yet my case sits in appeal for 8 years with plenty of proof while I slowly rot and survive on pain medication losing every thing I have?

Routine

Up at 7:00 checking e-mail, twitter and face book, the friends help brighten what I know will be a day of trying to make ends meet because the Board of Veterans Appeals holds the key to my future. This happens daily and has for 8 years. I thank God for my family and the anti-depressants and pain meds that keep me in my wheel chair doing my designs and such. With out the previous mentioned 4 things life would not be much fun.

I know things could be much worse and I pray for those who are in much worse shape than I am.
If given the chance I am going to find ways to help people who suffer from illness and disease just like I promised the Lord I would. I am working now on a project to get hands free computer control equipment for paralyzed children and Vets.

Im putting some designs for sale because the Board of Vet. Appeals doesn't get in a hurry nor do they care if I loose everything. My art

Never say "Quit"
