in reply,i know they but seeing my lungs are at 17% and can hardley walk i was just wondering what does it take and how much does one cost thru the va.Ed

Good morning all.I have been on here before and got good advice so i knew where to go to this time: Presently i am service connected for ptsd at 30 % .I do have a nod in for other claims but in the mean time i have encountered this problem.we lost our pcp at enid okla but the dr.in the same office got me an appointment in okc for a mobility scooter.I would like to know what kind of mobility scooter does the va issue and what is the cost.I am on Medicare and have private insurance that is with the company where my wife works.I get my meds thru okc va for 8.00 copay,soon to change i hope.any help in this would be appreciated.Ed

Hello and thanks for letting me be part of this forum as i have questions with no answers I registered with the va in sept of 09 because of thew cost of co pay for my meds.since then i dont know where i am.. i have severe asthma,emphysema,sleep apnea and have only 15% lung function. last year i had 3 ct scans and 1 pet scan as being in the hospital 5 times.since that time my pulmo dr. passed away and i had to find anoher pulmo. i told the new pulmo i was going to enter the va system and he said that is ok. entered the va system have a pcp and had agent orange exam during the exam they found spots on lungs so i had them sent to my pulmo to compare the reports from my private scans said the spots on lungs are consistant with metastatic lung cancer. so i filed a comp claim for cancer only and now i just found out from my pulmo that is not cancer. my question now seems to be ...will the va rate me when they get the reports from private drs on asthma,emphysema and sleep aptnea or should i just drop this claim and start a new claim for the other diseases.....any help would be appreciated...many thanks ED
