It's more complex than that. As Kb8 said in his post, a service connected disability as a lot to do with the priority into which the vet is placed. Higher priorities have no means test.
Patience is key. Nothing at V.A. is quick.
As a snowbird I chose to keep my primary care up north. With the staffing problems at the clinic in TV I find the care to be better in NY. Before I head south in the fall I make sure to see all the docs and have enough refills on my meds to keep me going through the winter. If I need to speak with one of my docs they are a phone call away.
I also schedule optometery and audiology up north. Works for me.
