Ratings and Reviews
Great Service and Improvement
VA has always been responsive and helpful. Their improvements have increased over the past 18 years that I have had the privilege to be provided with their support. I have found that if you have a service connected disability and disability rating that authorizes you care, the VA takes very great care of you. If you are just a Veteran served and did not retire and/or has no service connected disabilities and you try to get healthcare, this is not a free lunch and you are not covered. This is where most complaints come in giving VA a bad rap. People do not understand that VA is for service connected disabilities and not a free healthcare for all veterans just because you served. VA services those with service connected disabilities very, very well. I spoke to a few veterans at local VA hospital mad because they couldn’t be seen. They were trying to treat it like sick call and were complaining by shouting “I served and they will not take care of me”. They should have retired or did their due diligence before they separated like all of us did and got rated or see/filed a claim versus just going to VA like a urgent care or emergency room and then taking it out in the VA staff complaining. It is these who give VA a bad name and they are not even authorized to use these services.
Great job VA.
Unjust Compensation
This review is in honor of my thousands of fellow brothers in arms whom wrote a blank check payable to the USA for an amount of and up to our lives hoping to someday be recognized and properly compensated for our hidden sacrifices that to this day remains unknown to those leading from the comfort of offices and command centers, making horrible decisions over whom and what should and shouldn’t be compensated.
It’s been nearly 20 years since my retirement and even though the military knew by documentation that my injury is present and would get worse as time goes by, nothing was said to me because of my ignorance and not complaining for my injuries. Instead I preferred to hold my pain in and soldier as I was expected to do.
Unless members of the Compensation Approval Boar has been in my shoe, they can never know how much one is hurting inside.
My mental state is heading towards so much anger and disappointment towards the way how said services are handled that my darkest thought have been surfacing on a regular basis.
Pain and medication
Seems like VA doesn’t want people taking any pain medication unless it’s in the hospital and everything is great. They discharge you and tell you that a lot of meds like Clozapine. I was told by my primary care doctor. He said I can’t get both pain meds and pain attack medication. I was told to choose one. I had a total pain attack 28 September 2022 at VA during appointment.
My condition for my pain attack with acrophobia diagnosis in 1997. I been on meds for a long time. Now I am trying to make appointment with psychiatrist because I need this medication. I read the article about vets and suicide. I am not suicidal and I have taken both medications for the last 4 years when I was on pain management. It’s monthly and random drug test. I have researched and I know my meds and if you take as prescribed I don’t see a problem. I believe VA wants to do the right thing. I am very happy with VA. I am learning but I think you are pretty awesome
