Volunteering at the VA
Volunteering at the VA
Been retired for a little over a year, now.. and wanted something to do. I really like my doctor there, and she said to me that I should consider doing volunteer work there. Went through all the background checks, etc, and got a positive adjudication in that regard, and I started working in the VA Dental Clinic this week. I am really enjoying it. Got to talk to lot of Vets.. it is even more fulfilling than I expected it would be...

Don't abscess about it.

I can't get my VA medical benefits because I didn't sign up in time, due to a law/rule I was unaware of.
When is this going to be corrected? I served my 2 years 11 months, 6 hours and 34 Min. and received an honorable discharge.
While I have a good insurance plan, It would be nice to know that my Government honered the promises it
made to me when I enlisted.

Just make sure that you don't bite off more than you can chew.

Apply again, or do whatever to ask for benefits.
I never dreamed my nephew would qualify as he was only in the military for a short while. His sister convinced him to apply and he got benefits before he died.
I have NO idea of how one applies etc.

You go to a VA facility and apply for benefits. I don't know what law he was talking about. I do know that if one is denied benefits, he can ask for a meeting with the director to plead reconsideration.

I forgot to say, "Good for you, Ric."
When FIL was in VA hospital in Kerrville, he got lonely.
I always thought someone should volunteer to go over and play board games or ?? with the men who can't get out or have few visitors.
What do you do in the dental area?
