POOR SERVICE AND MALADMINISTRATION PRACTICE AND *******
I am a registered military veteran on national military veterans database who app**** for a house in 2014 and since my application was handled at DMV and later when I enquire about my house I was told I am on cross province project and they will revert to me and later again I was told "IT SEEMS I BENEFITTED FROM RDP" but when I request from the office of the minister I was told to go and make investigation while in merafong housing they say there is no house under my name and later I was asked house number 6119 in ext 6 is my house but later the information was taken out of the system while I never benefitted from any housing project! I was called from other number in kimberley they were saying I must come and sign for my house while at dmv the guy called doctor and tinyiko and Alfred maringa knows what happened to my house but dmv is doing nothing about that! The p.a from the minister of defence said I must go and find out if is there any house under my name but they are the ones supposed to go and check on their system and if there they must tell me where is that house! In dmv alot of *******ion is happening and nothing is being done about that! I need my house before I cie so that I can leave my children under a safe roof over their head! Director general mafu even the misters of defence and military veterans are doing nothing about these! It's painful to be told of something that you don't have! When is the apropriate steps going to be taken about that officials! I am hopeless and lost confidence in that self enriching department of military veterans

Recognize and honor Military Veterans in life and remembering them in death for their sacrifices on behalf of the nation. The Minister of Defense and Military Veterans has under section 24(1) of the Military Veterans Act, 2011 (Act No. 18 of 2011), made the regulations in the Schedule. Military Veterans submitted a Memorandum of demands to the Presidency. One of the key demands was the urgent implementation of the outstanding Military Veterans Pension benefit. It is now with great pleasure to announce that the Government Pension Administration Agency (GPAA) has been appointed by the Department of Military Veterans (DMV) as the administrator for the Military Veterans Pension. GPAA will effectively accept application forms from the April 26, 2023 by the Military Veterans whom are legible for the Military Veterans Pension Fund.

Military Veterans Application
I have been trying, since 2015, that is 10 years, to register with the military veterans department as a military veteran and to receive my pension and other benefits that i am entitled to, to no avail. I have submitted all my documents and all necessary paperwork, 5 or 6 times over the last 10 years. But i get no help. Not one person is prepared to take responsibility for this travesty and resolve the problem. They just blow you off or do not answer your calls or emails. Some even delete them without reading it. How many other people are in the same situation that i am in. Its incredible, they want my pay slips from 1977 to 1983 40 years ago, yet an MK comrade who has no pays lips and does not need to do produce the pay slips. Archives cant even give them to me. They have all my discharge papers and all my SANDF paperwork, but no Persol details, EP command says they don't have records going that far back.🤬 This department is a disgrace. 🤬😢 They say they have resolved all queries to date, what a lie, mine has not been resolved. Archives don't help Veterans Ombudsman does not help Military veterans Department don't help Ministers and Deputy ministers are of no help Local branch managers are no help Am i being victimized because I am white???????

No communication
Good day, I am registered as a military veteran on their database. I have app**** several times and December 2023 I app**** again for the health services. I have phoned and sent several emails,nobody answers the phone, nobody response to emails and WhatsApp. I don't know what the problem is.? I completed the application that was sent to me and returned the completed forms in December. It is March and still no communication from them. Don't even deserve any stars,for poor communication, it's a shame. We fought for this country and that's the appreciation that we get. Very disappointed in this service. Thank you Walter

MILITARY VETRANE PENSION
All about the promises of mitary vetran pension. All due for payout 1 Dec. 2022 1.st was promised R15000pm And once off R144000 Lumsum. 2. Application submited from 1 Jan 2023. All payout will be back payabke from 1 Dec. 2023. 3. Now 12 month's down line stil no pay out. You contact GPAA OFFICE The answer is they waiting DMV to give go ahead. Status as per consultant at GPAA OFFICE IS. " Sir we received your applicatiin 100% no shortche of documents and applicatiin form 100% corrected completed - your application been approved. Now pending prossesing." I have send also the GPAA OffIcial banK form by Courtier GPAA confirmend the have received the document. My application is with them since Jan 2023. When U phone the answers remain " prosessing pending wauting for them to give authorisation to payout. I ask who are the they. The answer is Hmmmm Hmmmm. HMMM. THEN I REPLY IS IT DMV. then they say yes.... ? Now we see that the pay put wil have back payout ...? The media statesment go around that DMV user R30 million of the mil.vet money for furniture..? How true or trustebil this is are a ?. But however where there is somek there are a fire...? why not any more the promesed R1500pm and the R144000 lumpsum. Why not the back payout as promised from 1 Dec. 2022. The mil.vet amount is now set to SASSA OLD AGGED value X 2.5 and if you receive SASSA The sassa amond will be deducted. If you receive a any ather form of income above the tresh hold the Mil.vet pension will not be granted. MAIN QUESTION WHY DO IT TAKE SO LONG TO APPROVE, PROSES AND AURORISING AND IMPLEMENT THE PAYOUT. and why not backpay from 1 Dec. 2022 as originaly been approved and been Govermented Gazzeded. Why have a new Giverment gazet was done to alter alk the originak promises. To be less. Is it the reason of the nR30million story.. ?? Mil.Vet money use for furniture in stead for the orriginal mil.vet payolts.....? pensiontegulationdinputs@dmv.gov.za milvet.applications@gpaa.gov.za

Register as Military veteran and apply for benefits
I am a law abiding citizen Bloemfontein. It is now 16 years that I have been unsuccessful to be registered as a veteran according to the law of SA which allows me to apply for benefits. I am poor and my health has deteriorated .I app**** online twice, app**** via email many times including all certified documents and also whatsapp many messages. It shows that messages were read as confirmation yet no reply from Bloemfontein and head offices departments . I delivered my application for Medical assistance and housing personally to the Bloemfontein office about 5 days ago but no 1 is replying to my whatsapp messages. Departments demand that I speak over the cell phone even though I informed them on all occasions that I am deaf. According to SA law it is ******* to discriminate against any persons with any physical disabilities . This is the kind of treatment that no senior ,deaf veteran citizen deserves at the age of 61. My many years of service locally and on the different borders are and is not appreciated. I hate to be known as a white South African citizen Amen 🥺
