WASHINGTON – Vietnam War veteran Richard Valdez requested four mail-order medications from the Department of Veterans Affairs on July 25. Twenty-three days later, he’s still waiting on three of them.
Valdez, 73, receives monthly prescriptions from the VA to manage his symptoms of traumatic brain injury which he suffered in a mortar blast in Vietnam. The ex-Marine typically receives them three to four days after calling in for refills, and he’s never seen a delay like what he’s experiencing now.
