0 Andyman73 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I agree completely, Andy. Also, after I was SC, I tried to get travel pay reimbursements for all of the preceding visits. My VAMC only allows veterans to file for travel for appointments within the last 30 calendar days. Ripped off again...Young lady told me the same thing, 30 days, fortunately I had 3 priors inside that window and was able to file for those travel days! Small victory, but a win none-the-less!

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 23, 2015 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 23, 2015 For years I was rated 50% SC and I went stood in line for travel pay...they gave me About 8 bucks....but like Vync mention they may have skimmed 6 bucks off the top for deductible or co-pay...never the less after that I went for years not getting travel pay, I just never felt like it was worth standing line for and back in the 90's and early 2000's Gas prices were up, but now since most of the clinics ask if I want travel pay I say hell yeah..& now gas prices are down & I get more travel pay so go figure...eh! .LOLI'll probably not live long enough to see the VA doing things Right. eh! ................Buck Vync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Andyman73 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes, it's time for the pols to stop their posturing and bloviating and do the right thing. The thing that was promised to Veterans generations ago! Someone who will get that Bill that is stalled out, moving and champion it till it's approved across the board, and implemented to it's fullest extent. The Bill that is supposed to give us COLA, and address the overall general weak compensation amounts. Buck52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck, Andyman is right. If you have a combined rating of 30% or higher, you get travel pay for any VA appointment. All veterans can claim travel pay for C & P appointments regardless of rating.

Yes, when I have gone to the Civilian Doc for the C&Ps, the VA always mails me a Check. 50 miles isnt too bad, my Exams are either 200 or 300 miles round trip. Thats what happens when you live in

Vync, I also think that we should get a higher travel comp rate set at 25 cents above what ever the going rate is. And a reduction in federal income tax equal to our overall disability rating, for ex
