Filed an IG complaint and the case was turned over to . . .the very director of the VA hospital that tried to kill me. . .and she found nothing wrong with her hospital. Imagine that. . .
We dependants do not go to the VA. Only veterans go to the VA.
I took my yellowed, 45-year-old VA card to a VA clinic, filled out some papers, and waited. They replied by mail, and said I wasn't eligible (since 2009) with only two exceptions:
1) I'd returned from Iraq or Afghanistan, or
2) was the victim of a sexual attack.
An appeal form was included in the letter. :-/
