I am really glad that someone finally figured out the fact that some shenanagins were going on with the leadership, CEAT teams, and social workers who never understood the rules and regulations of the program, much less abided by those rules. I, personally, will never trust a VA social worker again.
I appealed six times. I wrote to the President of the USA, the Vice President, and the Secretary of the DVA. I wrote my congressional representives and I wrote my Senators. I wrote to the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. I called an complained to the VISN. I called out the CEAT teams from multiple VISNS about the arbatrary decisions being made. I complained to multiple social workers and patient advocates. My complaints fell on deaf ears. I would like to think that somehow, my complaints, when considered amoung many other complaints managed to make a difference.
On June 22, 2022, I won the very first PCAFC caregiver case to be heard before the BVA for level 2 caregiver benefits.
