What percentage is you VA disability? It matters.
Also, was the surgery on your neck outpatient, something that could be done by a clinic rather than a hospital emergency room?
I ask because I have never received anything but Platinum level care from the VA, and it never cost me a single penny. They have sent me to several private medical enterprises...still never a penny.
Hell, it’s better than platinum level care, it’s Presidential level.
Disability denied due to there being no records after the fire at the record center. Basically just the DD214 notes. They even said that I didn’t do the job that would have caused my issue based on the rate I had when I got out. Oh well. The surgery included a laminectomy and putting in hardware at C-2/C-7 so no, no ER/clinic op. But, I didn’t pay a penny either. A mess to be sure. Thanks for your service.
Totally agree with everything He just posted. Have to know how the system works, follow it and no problems. Prencentage of Disability will effect it.
