Hey ya'll!
I should have looked for a place like this a long time ago...well I will get right to the point. Is there any coverage, rules, or regulations governing work absence to go to a VA appointment? I hate nickel and diming my time off to go to appointments, but I need to get on the ball with this stuff. I am in the process of appealing one of my claims and I need to make appointments to go to the Dr to be re-evaluated, and also because of the riduculous pain in my back, which is the claim I am appealing. The closest VA hospital is almost 2 hours from me, so a quick trip there in the morning doesn't cut it. I work 2:30pm until 11pm, and getting up at 7 to get to DC by 9, if I'm lucky, then sitting and waiting... then being seen... then getting back to work by 2:30 doesnt happen. And I'm using up all my times off work for this...Are there any rules that cover us in any way for these appointments from missing work?
Thanks!!!!
