Finally reached out to a VSO

[jfrei]

Spoke with the man he asks me a few questions and I he asked me for my decisions and spoke with me on how to get my 21-2680 fixed by my primary doctor on Black Friday. I’m still shocked my appointment wasn’t canceled and also talked about to him that I have to get the state help for my childcare assistance, which he said unfortunately the VA doesn’t do that even when your their for treatment 2 to 3 days a week. But the state of Delaware does and I was given an application to have my doctor fill out. So if your in treatment in Delaware worried about your little ones, the Social services office has a medical form to have your primary doctor to fill out to get childcare assistance. It’s taken me two years to find this out but the benefit is there with the state. Now Friday will tell my next step whether I submit a reconsideration for my SMC based on new material evidence with a new 21-2680 formed filled out or appeal it with new evidence my retro would be around 10k. I’ll ask my vso what he thinks I should do I know usually the RO always denies when they have to shell out money, but 10k im not sure about?

That's a new one on me?  I always see veterans bringing their kids to the VAMC to the VA Childcare  Center located on the same premises of the Hospital.during their appointments. 

some clinics you can bring your kids in with you..I think my PCP Clinic allows children , they have a play table/ building blocks  ect,,ect,,small chairs for the kids.out in the waiting area.

But Delaware maybe totally different.???

Well for the last two years if I had no choice I’d be trying to handle either a one year old in with my cognitive therapy he slept most of the time and the few times I had to into a catscan they asked a nurses aide to helpout one time. I hated feeling like the only dad to ever bring their child with them to treatment. Wilmington VA has no VAMC on their premises or a childcare center. I never thought I had to go to Social Services ever for help but I’d rather get my treatment started up again after my Poly trauma yearly evaluation on Dec. 3
