Thanks for your concern and any help with this problem.
Having served in the US Army from 1962-1965 and receiving an Honorable Discharge in 1968 and after using the medical facilities "When NEEDED" at the Augusta Ga. VA Hospital from the 1970's until February 2013 I was told in February 2013 I was no longer eligible for treatment at the VA and all my appointments cancelled.
After many trips and phone calls to the VA hospital in Augusta and calls to Atlanta to the VA Administration and was given several different reasons for this action I was finally told that a law had been passed in 1996 "THAT I WAS FINALLY TOLD ABOUT IN FEBRUARY 2013" that made me no longer Qualified for medical help at the Va and the date for any appeal was past..
I find it very, very troublesome that our Government would do something like that to its VETERANS then keep it from them until they need the benefits. We sent billions of dollars overseas to people who hate us and would kill any of us in a heartbeat and then deny benefits to the BRAVE VOLUNTEERS that stand between us AMERICIANS and these people and then turn into VETERANS after their service, is beyond belief..
I don't know how many VETERANS were caught up in that law but even one is too many.
Every time I see a military personal or a Veteran I try to thank them for their service and I want to thank you for your service.
Thanks and have a great day.
Augusta, GA
