I'm a fellow Veteran (and Military Retiree/Disabled Retiree), and yes, this is a problem .. which worsened with the change in Congress this last year.
What we, the Veteran needs to do is to remain active with our Military Service and/or Rank Organizations, and yes, participate in the mailings, contacts with Congress, etc to PROTECT and SUPPORT the necessary funding of programs not just for the Disabled Veterans, but also for all Military Programs in General.
I do this with the organizations that I belong to. It does help keep our service issues in front of the individuals in Congress sitting on the committees ... because nowadays .. only about 1/4 of the members of Congress have ANY Military Service Connection at all -- (abysmal).

It sounds to me as if not all VA Hospitals are equal in what they are able to provide, which makes good sense.
My 75 year old husband is pleased with the services the nearest one is able to provide. If services not available there should be needed, then he's sent to a larger one.

The Republican party is a bunch on ungrateful pasties that are in favor of sending others in harms way as long as they have their country clubs and golf courses to go to for themselves.
This is a Republican war but it is the people the Democrats care about that are doing the fight.

Isnt't this how its been forever? all the important jobs like defending our country, teaching children, etc, etc get the crappy pay while singers, actors, athletes, etc etc get money out the bottom end? yeah its not fair.

This is news????????
Airmen qualify for food stamps.
USA PR for their Military is very pretty compared to the reality.
But our society swallows it hook line and sinker.
Why?
Ignorance, blind faith, and denial.
