After successfully maneuvering through the VA C&P, I am now at 140% through a combination of multiple SC disabilities. However, I am only paid at 90%. I have a need for dentures and have inquired with the VA on my eligibility. However, with the VA's strange math in compensation amounts, at 90% I am not eligible.. According to the Dental Clinic at the Saginaw, MI VA Hospital I am not entitled to dental care through the VA. According to them, their interpretation is that a veteran must be receiving 100% in compensation or need dental treatment for a specific SC dental disability. Typically, the policy is confusing. And, civilian dental insurance requires you to pay into a plan for a year before you can use it for dentures. No need for a plan if I have no teeth. Does anyone out there know the real deal? Thought I heard last year that the VA was looking into VA Dental Care for all veterans. FAKE NEWS I guess?

Thanks All for responding. You all confirmed for me what the VA has a difficulty doing. VA Dental is still SNAFU. Same with most VA "policy informational guidelines". Confirmed that they are talki
