I AM GETTING DISCHARGED WITH 10% DISABILATY AND I HAVE PTSD. I AM RECIEVING DISABILITY SEVERANCE PAY AND I AM PISSED , NONE OTHER THAN I AM GETTING KICKED OUT AND NOT GETTING A VA CHECK TILL I PAY THE MONEY BACK. SO I HAVE GOT TO WAIT TILL I PAY THE MONEY BACK TO VA TO GET ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP. WITH MONTHLY BILLS ,, I THINK THAT THE MONEY I AM GETTING FROM THE ARMY IS WHAT I DISERVE FOR MY INJURIES THAT OCCURED ON ACTIVE DUTY AND NOW I GOTTO PAY IT BACK FOR WHAT. BECAUSE VA NEEDS FUNDING. THAT MONEY IS MINE WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY IT BACK BEFORE I GET MY VA CHECK. DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEONE LIKE ME IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD FOR ME TO GET A JOB , IT IS HARD FOR ME TO BE IN BIG CROWDS AND AROUND PEOPLE I DONT KNOW. SO GETTING A EVERYDAY JOB AT THE LOCAL WALMART AND GROCERY STORE IS OUT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SERIOUSELY DO SOMETHING BEFORE ALL OF THE GUYS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED WITH IT COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM.

She doesn't thik much of PTSD and doesn't think much of veterans who have it. This proposed legislation should be dumped. The Senator would better spend his time trying to get legislation that actually responds to recommendations OUT of committee and before the Congress. And the money that would go to fund this useless piece of feel-good-does-nothing legislation would be better spent making mental helath care more accessible to veterans, or paying back the poor veterans who have had to REPAY the military branches for their medical severance payments or to pay for continued health insurance for medically discharged veterans. http://somesoldiersmom.blogspot.com/2008/02/pure-crap-veterans-mental-health.html Satel has been pushing this nonsense for years.
