Kiwi reports are always welcome here and thanks so much for the website.
I am surprised that New Zealand does not have a "veterans administration", with hospitals etc. Does Austrailia and Great Britian?
Our system has been hosed up for years. I worked for the VA from 1980 to 1992 and could tell you stories that would make your hair stand on end. The ones I heard on the web site you provided were bad but minor compared to some of the stuff I could tell you. My own experience has been one of frustration and most of the guys on this site will agree that their's also has been awful. Not everything in our VA system is bad but definitly the benefits/adjudication section is horrandous and a slap in the face to all American Veterans.
Glad to have you with us Tamariki. Thank you for your service to your country.
