You can PM me or we can talk here to help out others. |
I also had a little problem with the way the VA does business..
I lived in the Palm Beach area for 30 yrs and had gone to the PBG Va clinic a couple times..
When I moved to the Keys (180 miles WSW), I stopped in to the VA clinic in KW to say hi..
They got all excited but insisted I start all over again to get "qualified".. Now I have had a PH Service Connected disability for 40 yrs,, SO my claim is not the problem,, it's the system..
The KW clinic is a sub-clinic to Miami,, and get this.. They don't recognize the PBG clinic that is 40 miles away.
They act like they are a completely separate org with absolutely ZERO comm with each other..
So,, after getting REGISTERED in Miami VA, I can now go to the KW clinic..
Net Net,, Bureaucrats own the VA,, Prepare to fight...
PS: As my check has always gone to the bank,, I'm not sure if I ever receive any snail-mail?? We may both be on the same psycho-ward???
I do know that if you want service from the VA,, you need to do the scheduling and calling and bitching.. In my experience, they have NEVER called me for anything..
Good Luck..
