I hope the new administration does not create a problem for veterans benefits. Trump said he would be good for vets I guess we will see.

what are your specific concerns?

ol' dad

Can it get any worse than it already is???

I would think if your case worker was hired in last couple years it could.

It doesn't take brilliant intelligence, such as Elon has, to count how many great veterans are now taking good care and streamlining all avenues of office and the VA. Now that worthless fat Tester is gone the VA can see real progress . Pete, Tim Sheehy and other vets will see to that.

davee won't ever respond back on this thread. Just started it to troll. Responding is letting him win.

I didn't realize it was a competition.

Veterans and active troops overwhelmingly voted for President Trump, for the third time. New recruitment to the Army just hit a 17 year high. I don't think all those great men are stupid enough to support a President who will allow them to be treated badly.

Never...ever , ever ask that when it comes to anything dealing with the military because yes ,it always can and usually will

Service from VA just not great in rural areas everything is a drive and Wy and slow motion. Wish you could just use any medical facility and cut the paper work..

I guess my experience with the VA has been the opposite. I found it to be quicker than getting health care through private insurance.

Ol dad

You can. It's called community care. But expect about a 3 month wait time.



Seriously? I can call my doctor and get seen tomorrow. To get my husband an appt through the VA takes 3 months.

To note though... in an emergency... you can go to ANY ER and the VA will cover it... if it is an emergency.

Staffing cuts are taking place as we type and speak. We will watch to see how that plays out over the near and long term future. local VA officers are feeling that disability claims and processes will be the first major issues of concern. The one VA hospital I attend for vision work has never been fully staffed and may well lose several positons. I will find out later this spring.

Yep

Cheyenne has a great VA hospital. and it's in SE Wyoming.

What do you do to help veterans? I am sure you could do more since it is such a concern of yours.

Sounds like he may not use their services like me. That is good for everybody else. If everybody did that..........

I've heard horror stories about some VAs in certain areas of the country. However, the VA in my area has been a fantastic facility. I can't say enough good things about them. They bend over backwards to help their veterans. Every vet I know that uses them will tell you that they are amazing.
