GB I have only gone to my personal doctor once or twice in the past 5 years, he has given me meds which are supposed to help in the short term with my ailments, sometimes they do sometimes they don't. If I sign up for my local VA medical center are they going to want me to come in a lot more to try and cure my ailments? I am worried that they could state that I am showing improvement and then there goes my %, especially since they are not permanent. I seem to manage my disabilities to get by on a daily basis, the money I get helps me out a lot. Like I said it would be great to get a VHIC card but not worth the risk of the VA lowering my % rating.
