Thanks so much for your patience. Based on what you're describing, you're dealing with multiple overlapping issues: a medical injury from VA care, a home loan dispute, document delivery problems, and what sounds like safety concerns. You likely have potential claims against the VA for medical malpractice under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which requires first filing an administrative claim with the agency (28 U.S.C. § 2675) within two years (28 U.S.C. § 2401(b)).

A separate route is disability compensation for injuries caused by VA treatment (38 U.S.C. § 1151). You also likely have options to challenge loan documentation issues under the VA home loan servicing rules, which cover loss-mitigation alternatives such as a short sale, and possibly protective remedies related to the other matters you mentioned. The key is getting these organized and finding the right help, which might include a VA-focused attorney who understands both benefits law and civil claims. Attorneys who represent veterans before the VA must be VA-accredited (38 U.S.C. § 5904).
