Your incorrect. Many times they do not want to put you in a hotel or anything for putting you out like that if taking the flight voucher. I had a united incident a few years back in Houston, Tx where I got bumped and was the last flight out. They gave me a voucher but refused to give me anything to cover food, hotel, toothbrush, etc (all was on the plane).

I'm not sure the time allowed to pass before filing but a airline must compensate you. If you submitted your receipts they must reimburse you AND pay you cash upto 4x the cost of the ticket with a $1400 dollar limit. Actually you can even file for cash reimbursements on delayed flights. You just need to know how, which they don't make common knowledge.
I'm dealing with that now on bereavement with United as well. The previous mentioned incident was some time back. HOpefully they step up on the bereavement change order costs. Let me mention, I don't have a problem with united, so don't take these two issues as me bashing them, although the first mentioned angered me. I fly a bunch, we have don't have an airline that gives two craps about customer service.
[ Turns out he traded pills for gay sex. And, played poker at WSOP while license suspended ]
REVEALED: Doctor dragged off United Airlines flight won more than $230,000 at poker while his medical license was suspended for trading prescription drugs for secret gay sex
PUBLISHED: 18:19 EDT, 11 April 2017 | UPDATED: 18:57 EDT, 11 April 2017
David Dao, the doctor who was dragged off the United flight, is a former poker champion who made hundreds of thousands of dollars playing while his medical license was suspended for trading drugs for sex.
Dao joined the World Series of Poker circuit in 2006 and spent the next decade at the tables, earning him $234,664. His biggest win came during a game in Mississippi in 2008 when he took home $117,744, according to WSOP.
It may have been a way for the doctor to make a little extra income while he was barred from practicing medicine in 2003 until 2015, when his medical license was partially re-instated with restrictions placed on his access to patients.

Winning big: While he was suspended from practicing, Dao became a semi-professional poker player, and is said to have won a total of $234,664 since 2006, according toPokerNews.

Beaten and bloodied: Dr Dao is pictured bleeding from the mouth after he was body slammed by cops and dragged off the overbooked United flight at Chicago O'Hare
What United claimed: The document attached to his passenger file which claimed Dr David Dao, 69, a grandfather, had tried to strike police officers
WHAT THE PSYCHIATRIST FOUND
An official report detailed the findings of medical exams performed on Dr Dao and spelled out concerns over his mental state. A court case brought by him would inevitably have to consider whether the documents could be used by United.
Among the findings were:
Dr. Mary Gannon 'noted that Dr. Dao "lacked the foundation to navigate difficult situations, both interpersonally and in a complex profession". Dr.Gannon noted a need to control, avoidance, withholding information and magical thinking as problematic.'
The report went on: 'Dr. Montgomery noted that Dr. Dao appeared to have difficulties with information processing. Neuropsychological screening did not suggest gross difficulties.
'However, in reviewing records, it was noted that Dr. Dao tends to have poor decision-making despite his overall level of ability.
'His choices have resulted in significant consequences over the years yet he continues·to function in this manner.
'He is generally not forthright regarding details of events unless challenged and at times he will tell different versions of a story to different interviewers. '
Later in the report it found: 'As far back as April, 2002, Dr. Brady notes " ... he would unilaterally chose to do his own thing'.
'This remains a concern to this day and without a high degree of structure and accountability he is at risk for further boundary related practice issues.'
The father of five, who has won sympathy globally over the United Airlines incident, was given a suspended jail sentence for illegally obtaining and trafficking controlled substances by fraud and deceit.
He was also found to have engaged in sex with a male patient- Brian Case, who he knew from the church they both attended - and then supplied him with drugs, including Oxycontin, in exchange for sexual favors.
The sexual liaisons, which happened in motel rooms, were recorded by undercover agents. He paid $200 in cash each time he met Case.
Case said he believed that Dr. Dao wanted to hook him on drugs so he would keep meeting him for gay sex.
Dr. Dao was arrested when Case agreed to go undercover. Even when he was caught with his shirt off and pants unbuckled, he denied he was there for gay sex with Case.
The secret sex and drugs life of the doctor first came to light in July 2003 when police alerted the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure of the allegations against him.
In October 2003 he was indicted by a Jefferson County Grand Jury for 'criminal acts of trafficking in a controlled substance, obtaining drugs by fraud and deceit, and unauthorized prescribing, dispensing or administering of controlled substances'.
His medical license was suspended later that month.
Dr Dao underwent intense scrutiny and re-training for several years after his convictions. He also appealed unsuccessfully against conviction, including claiming the undercover video of him semi-naked broke his expectation of privacy.
His wife Dr. Theresa Dao, who was with him on the ill-fated flight, has stood by him.
She first alerted the medical authorities about her suspicions of her husband’s involvement with a patient.
In 2015, his medical license was partially re-instated with restrictions placed on his access to patients.
The findings were revealed by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure in June last year and stipulated that monitoring had to be continued of the doctor’s behavior.
It was found that Dr. Dao had become sexually involved with a patient who had been referred to his practice, who was known as 'Patient A'. He was named in criminal court as Case, who was 26 at the time, less than half the doctor's age.

The board stated: 'During the initial evaluation, the licensee performed a complete physical examination, including a genital examination, for Patient A who had been referred for collapsed lungs and chest pain.'
The board's finding went on: 'Shortly after his first appointment, the licensee made Patient A his office manager; according to Patient A, he quit that job because of inappropriate remarks made by the licensee.
'After he quit, the licensee pursued him aggressively, finally arranging to provide controlled substance prescriptions to him in exchange for sexual acts.
'This continued for some time, with Patient A and the licensee meeting at hotel rooms and some of these meetings were recorded.
'At some point, the licensee began splitting some of the prescriptions with Patient A and gave Patient A money to fill the prescriptions.
