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.
That's rough, and entirely distasteful to be treated so poorly. Have you spoken with anyone at your nearest VA? It may take several calls of being passed around, but maybe there is someone who can help you find the care you need and can afford, with Triwest. I'd also call/write my state and national legislators, and save a copy of their replies. And finally, please consider a letter to the editor of your nearest local newspaper. If they publish it, maybe someone who has successfully navigated some solutions will see it and come forward, with helping you in successful self advocacy. Maybe there are support groups for such things where veterans help each other navigate these obstacles? Someone may be able to direct you.
You are so welcome, my friend, and thank you for the tip. If I can be off any assistance in researching solutions, again, please feel free to reach out. I'd be honored to do anything I can reasonably do to find any available solutions.
Hello, I am wondering if there are any of these clinics in your area? https://nafcclinics.org/get-care/
