Default Re Assistance.

Geoff, please ask the lady to get in touch with Veterans Affairs again. My father just received a disability pension for hearing loss due to service in Korea. Tell her to be the advocate and be persistent. The government seems to take the approach that you have to know all the programs specifically or you won't be considered. The best approach is to ask and ask and ask and keep telling them the different issues. I find it hard to believe that her dad can't qualify for some sort of benefits. Unfortunately we have to play the bureaucrats game. Too bad we aren't trying to keep some marketing agency alive.
