[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3017421, member: 5412"] I may have to take issue with your comment about time limits to some extent. If it is in your military medical records at the time of discharge, there is no time limit I'm aware of. A group of us, all veterans meet weekly for lunch and shoot at the range after if the weather is agreeable. One was a tank driver during the Cold War on the Check Border. His medical records showed a hearing loss. He applied a few years back and it was rated service connected. Another marine that eats with us was drenched in agent orange during the Vietnam war. After several bouts with cancer, he applied around 10 years ago and because of his history and the gov finally admitting agent orange was a carcinogenic he was given a disability rating. I'm Priority 1, And have had great care for the most part until this last episode. I did complain to the patient advocate, and later that day an administrator called me, got my story and agreed it wasn't right. I got a call an hour later from the physician explaining the biopsy results. That system worked. The doctor is a resident but new to the field. Shares his time between the OU med center and the VA. Overall, I'm pleased with the VA. Since I'm more than 40 miles from a clinic, I'm eligible for the program the Obama administration started to allow vets to get care from local medical with the VA picking up the tab depending on your level. Everybody got these cards to present to where you went. Turns out that it was a fluffer. No money was allocated to pay for it. Threw mine in the trash after finding out it was worthless. This new program of video medicine was started during the Obama administration and completed during Trumps to be historically correct, and Trump has promised money to make this program work for the rural vets.
