Congressman Bob Filner, will travel to Texas to meet with San Antonio veterans at a Congressional Veterans Forum to be held on Sunday, August 5th. Chairman Filner, along with Congressmen Ciro Rodriguez & Charlie Gonzalez & Henry Cuellar, will answer questions and provide an update on recent congressional activity affecting veterans.

Hi,
I've been twice to the VA hospital to follow up on dental xrays initially taken and each time no one would call me for a appointment date. I'm rated 100% disability but my eligibility for this care has been ignored twice. What should I do ?
