I was traveling in Australia and had to go the a local emergency room at a local hospital for treatment. This is illness is unrelated to any already compensated for service related disability. I am not trying to get my disability increased. All I want to do is to be re-embursed for the bills caused by this emergency room visit. I sent the appropriate form and attached documentation, (VA Form 10-583 Claim For Payment of Costs Unauthorised Medical Services), to my local VA Medical Center. When I followed up in person they could not find any information related to my inquiry. I could not seem to be able to get it across is that I do not want increased compensation, just re-embursement for an emergency room visit. I was directed to re-sent (VA Form 10-583 Claim For Payment of Costs Unauthorised Medical Services), and all documentation to this address, Department Of Veterans Affairs Evidence Intake Center, P.O. Box 4444, Janesville, WI 53547-4444, which I did.
I got a letter back saying the the information that I received was placed in VA records and that I submit a, (VA Form 21-526EZ, Application for Disability Compensation and related Compensation Benefits). Once again it seems I was misunderstood, I not want increased compensation, just re-embursement for an emergency room visit Any assistance in this matter is appreciated.
