Vets cannot use the VA just because they served. Hey have to be disabled.
Wrong.
This February, my very-first trip to VA for a long-lasting disease in my left eye, resulted in an hour+ of "getting registered". A week later, a letter from the VA refused me service. (Paraphrasing, here):
"If you had just served in Iraq or Afghanistan, or were a victim of a sexual assault, we could take you in. Your assets also preclude service to you. You can take an appeal..(etc)"
This result was of a "new law" in 2009. I must have missed the memo.
