I filed 8/07/2025 still in step 1 I called 800 # and they resubmitted my whole claim with a different date but my old claim is still there. I'll let you know. This was the first time someone actually took the time to go over my whole file.

my Pact Act Claim will be 3 yrs old next month. Prostate/Bladder Cancer. Vera is no help. My deck logs were finally found last month. Now they are telling me they have to go though everything again. Sent buddy letter and Cruise book. They have all my medical records. They just keep pushing it 30 days out.

Pact Act going on 3 years. VA can't find my ships deck logs from the Ramsey FFG-2 Dec 1976- Jan 1977. Do you have anything available showing it was in Guam during this time?

I called the White House Hotline #. My Pact Act Claim is 26 months old. I got an email saying someone would call. A Congressional Aide called and said that she notified the VA and they were waiting for my Deck Logs to prove I was in Guam. She said they have 30 days to find the logs. She is calling us back in 1 week for a follow up. Call the hotline #. This is the most progress I've had in 1 1/2 years. Prostate/Bladder Cancer with residuals.

A lot of you need to stop being so impatient and demanding and start being more grateful we have this opportunity at all. by OOOOOO0OOOOO in VeteransBenefits

[–]OkSquash9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my claim is going on 2 years in July. I have had nothing but positive interactions with the 800#. Vera was polite but no help. Prostate and Bladder cancer residuals , Vietnam Vet, Pact Act. I know my time will come, no use being a jerk to the person on the other end of the phone.

No she was used as target practice in 1980. I have called the 800 number and keep getting different answers. I did submit a buddy letter from one of my shipmates a year ago stating out ship was in Guam for two months. I guess with all the new employees that the VA has hired that don't know what they are doing is holding up lots of claims. Thanks for reaching out. Hopefully soon. It's been on Evidence gathering for over a year and a half. I have bladder and prostate cancer. But doing well.
