On a positive note, the VA hospital which is a distance from our area has opened a satellite clinic for our area. Hubby's brother did qualify for VA,so the clinic will be a big help to him.
If I may ask - what service-related injury or disability did your husband incurr while in service?
Just wondering.
I ask because the VA site itself asks were :
You were discharged or separated for medical reasons, early out, or hardship
You served in theater of combat operations within the past 5 years
You were discharged from the military because of a disability (not preexisting)
You are a former Prisoner of War
You received a Purple Heart Medal
You receive VA pension or disability benefits
You receive state Medicaid benefits
because if you say NO - then
Based on the information you provided, your eligibility for VA health care benefits may be based on special factors such as service in Vietnam, other military history factors or even household income.
The money question comes up again.
