$1200.00??? Unbelievable:mad:

IIRC Each Nam vet Did NOT get 1200 Bucks .
In order to recieve any of that Money you had to be 100%, By the Time the V.A. got around to Establishing My 100% rating . The amount of the Fund I recieved was I think 400 .

It's amazing how many AO exposed 'Nam vets don't know about these presumptive conditions. Harder is the guys who were exposed on boats or planes, but didn't serve in country and have several of the AO related conditions. Can't get VA to recognize them as Service Connected conditions.

Mebbe the new VA Secretary, Shinseki, will fix it.
He's a 2-tour 'Nam vet with 2 Purple Hearts.

And now it looks like us Desert Storm vets might start growing tails and glowing too.... (http://www.gulfweb.org/doc_show.cfm?ID=815)

The Inspector General was bothered by it... (http://www.va.gov/oig/publications/semiann/FY2008-1/VAOIG_SAR_2008-1.pdf)


Contract Review Finds Overcharges for Disability Examinations
OIG conducted an audit of a settlement offer by QTC Medical Systems, Inc. (QTC) to repay VA about $3.2 million following an audit by a commercial Certified Public Accounting fi rm of a limited period of a contract in which QTC provided medical disability examinations for veterans with claims being evaluated by VBA. OIG determined that, over the entire contract period, QTC had overcharged VA $6 million including $2.6 million because QTC inappropriately increased the Medicare-based Contract Line Item Numbers each year even though the contract stipulated pricing was to be based and frozen at the 1998 Medicare rates. OIG made numerous recommendations to strengthen administration and oversight of the contract and to collect the $6 million. VA officials concurred on all recommendations with the exception of collecting $2.6 million citing a VA Office of General Counsel opinion.
