Vet Gets VA Appointment Two Years After He Died

DAILY CALLER – Doug Chase, a Vietnam veteran, finally received a letter from a Massachusetts VA hospital telling him that he could proceed to make a primary care appointment.

“We are committed to providing primary care in a timely manner and would greatly appreciate a prompt response,” read a letter sent to Chase on June 12, according to Boston’s WBZ.

The veteran’s wife, Suzanne, said she is angry over the department’s tardy response.

“It was 22 months too late,” she said. “I kind of thought I was in the twilight zone when I opened this letter and read it.”
