So I won't reiterate our conversation but it sounds like the VA people work off the same script as the SS folks. My law firm also deals with SS and you are so right, an individual can't ever win w/o an attorney. Wonder how much money those folks make? I'd like their job!!!<br /><br />JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083048394782111088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-27387172819647443882010-05-01T16:45:57.993-05:002010-05-01T16:45:57.993-05:00Oh my...I"m sure you're glad that day is ...Oh my...I"m sure you're glad that day is over!

While many of the employees of these businesses are knowledgeable, I cannot help but wonder where the majority of these people came from!They were either not trained or they forgot all they were taught because they have no customer service skills, no ability to answer or ask simple questions, NOTHING!! I hope I do not have to deal with a government office any time soon, because I know these places are much worse. Some days DO suck, don't they? Hope all is better now.

We sent all the information and waited, and waited. Finally 28 days later the people for the bank calls and says our paperwork is no longer valid. It is over 30 days. My husband who mailed it registered said no, it is 28 days and that is on your part. Anyways...finally he says what paperwork do you need....blah, blah and 2008 income tax return. He says to them, it hasn't changed. Do you have the 30 pages I already sent you in your possession. Answer: yes, but we can't use it. You must resend everything. He trys to explain to them, nothing is different....no good.
