HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 26, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 26, 2010 I would keep the VA as my ace in the hole. I just don't believe in giving up any government benefit. Even if you just see them twice a year for a check up you are staying in the loop at the VA. What I have found is by using the VA over the years I have increased my disability pay by at least 400 bucks a month just due to SMC. God help us, there may come a time when you actually need them. If you are at least 70% they do nursing home care. Otherwise, you have to get medicade. The VA has done one hell of a poor job in monitoring my meds over the years. Take from the VA what you can use and dump the rest, but stay in the loop. Every time you go to the VAMC and complain about your condition you help to generate a pile of evidence that protects you from arbitrary reductions IMO.
