If you are retired military and have a service connected disability you go to the head of the line for treatment in VA facilities. Plus if you are receiving a VA comp and have lost some of your retirement pay there is another program CRSC that will make up the difference between your VA comp and what they took out of your retirement pay. CRSC (combat Related Service Compension) is also tax free. Its a dollar for dollar make up.
There is also a program for service connected disabilities but I don't know how that one works. Best thing to do is contact a VA Service representative or the DAV. Lots of new programs for the vets keep checking with the VA.
they ndon't advertise a lot of these programs you, the vet,has to ask for information about them.
Your disability must be combat related not a service connected disability. All RVN vet who have an Agent Orange disability are considered combat related.
