oh, and use their name a lot when you talk with them, be friendly, make small talk that they will remember you by. i get a lot more help from VA people by being sweet and memorable and making them laugh. it actually works everywhere i go.
We applied for Aid & Attendance for my dad in May. Be sure you submit both forms, you'll need the 'standard form 180' as well as the 'physician statement'. Get it turned in asap. We were told that it would take up to twelve months for funding to come through. So far we have not seen any funding but I believe we are getting close as we've been notified that we need to meet with a VA rep to continue the process. Good luck.
