I’m really sorry to hear that. I did a very quick search, so I’m not sure how current that information is, with regard to executives. Do you live near enough the VA facility to schedule an in-person visit? If not, can you contact them and ask for assistance in meeting your needs? Do you receive any sort of disability or Medicare, that can help cover costs? If you may or not qualify for disability, please request go online and request your DD-214, and start proceedings to get your records to and apply. If I’m understanding correctly (and I may not be, my information is sparse and outdated), the government has to prove that any disabilities did not arise from your service duties.
I’m currently trying to help a community veteran with this process, so if you’ll DM me so I don’t forget, I’ll pass along information as I learn, but we just requested the DD-214 this week, so it may be a long, convoluted process. My very best of luck to you, I am sorry this is how we thank our service members and vets for their service. I appreciate you, and I’m pulling for you.
I live in one of those sparsely populated states, I have to drive 5 hours one way to see a neurologist. Because the one that is two hours away only sees a small number of veterans due to the way the VA pays them.
Thank you for the offer of help, I now have 100% disability with the VA and I’m also on ssdi. Good luck helping your veteran, and please appeal when the VA gives them a rating. They like to lowball us, I was given 70% after my first c&p.
