Hello wonderful forum!
Sometime ago, a Vet posted on the forum that he had received his bathroom grant finally and was beginning the construction process. I really need to talk to him and to all of you. We completed paperwork with the VA on June 10, 2011 for the bathroom grant and as of this writing, December 8, 2011 WE ARE STILL AWAITING APPROVAL FOR THE GRANT MONIES. In 2 days it will be 6 MONTHS for crying out loud. If I had the funds, I could have constructed an ENTIRE HOME BY NOW. ALL I want is a bathroom, for my husband to take a shower using a roll in shower chair( which we have had for 3 months now)in preparation for the renovation. JEESH
I call weekly, but everyone knows this is the government. We have had someone from the VA come down and assess our home. Last week, when I called they told me the paperwork was in Virginia. Whatever, that means. Meanwhile, husband gets weaker and weaker...... Could anyone out there assist me? 1. How much longer do we have to wait?2. Am I a special case or is this length of wait typical? I searched the forum but only located old posts from several years back.
HELP HELP HELP,
