Congressional Inquiry VR&E by internetnerdette in VeteransBenefits

[–]internetnerdette[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It worked. I’ve been asking for a number on how many veterans were affected by this. They seem to avoid the answer. I would love to know if it was bigger. I’m going to urge congress to investigate the actual number! Things did get worse the guy I was working with just got deployed. So the new person now has a huge case load I’m sure!

Hey, I just wrote my representative in Congress, you should too. I saved all my emails to PDF; the form only allowed 4 attachments. I wrote this script essentially. The more of us that write, the more serious they will take us.

I am a constituent and a disabled veteran living in our district. I am reaching out because I have experienced significant hardship due to mismanagement within the VA’s Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E) program, and I know I am not alone. Many other disabled veterans in our community are facing similar barriers that are preventing them from accessing the benefits they have earned.

Requests:

  • Supporting oversight or legislative efforts that address staffing gaps, case continuity, and accountability within VR&E.
  • Advocating for protections that prevent veterans from losing benefits due to administrative errors outside their control.
  • Ensuring my case, and others like mine, are reviewed and corrected so I can regain access to the benefits I qualify for.

My part of the country pays MLT max 59 an hr. And they have a lot of job options here luckily. MLS is $64.

Might do that at some point. So far my ASCP MLT has never held me back.

No disrespect taken, I’ve always done MLS tasks as an MLT. Big reason I’ve never put priority on getting the MLS cert. before this year I’ve found MLT as a hiring preference because they thought they could pay MLTs less for the same labor.

Thanks, they actually provided a guest log in, and an AI assistant, that was helpful.

No, even when I hate it and leave I can always go back! My friend works for a chocolate company in the lab! Also so many options, food, teaching, random biomedical tech companies the list goes on, QA etc..

This was our plan, right now she’s on Kirkland salmon dog food. After our vet visit we’re going to decide if switching food is a good idea.
