This probably changes from one base to another. Even though I'm not retired, I have a 100% DOD ID and have had no issues using the DFACs at Fort Liberty and Fort Bragg, provided I pay for my meals. Maybe you could call ahead to the dining facilities you're thinking of eating at and ask to speak...

Aside from the VA, what additional healthcare coverage do you all have? Considering the limitations in accessing immediate care at any hospital or clinic, it seems wise to have backup health insurance. However, I'm uncertain. Any suggestions?

What I've found out makes it seem like it's the opposite. When you have a VA disability rating, it looks like SSDI might get approved faster.

I think I did the filing online more than a year back.

I got 2 checks today from the Department of Treasury, adding up to just over $30.00, and they mentioned the Fayetteville VA Medical Center. Could these be for travel claims I put in more than 15 months ago?

If your condition improves with medication, it shows the treatment's success. Medication cannot be considered by a C&P to lower your disability rating.

Does anyone know about any programs that help with paying for private schooling for kids from kindergarten to 12th grade?

Firstly, remove them as your dependent online and check if automatic deductions of approximately $200 per month for the overpayment begin for the next four years, or if the VA sends you any communication offering a different method for resolving the situation.

So thankful for the help from both of you.

Since the VA rated both of us as 100% disabled from service, we're curious if our son can combine our Chapter 35 educational benefits for his studies to be used at the same time. Is this possible?

SSI/SSDI stuff: They just go off your VA medical records, or do they make you do another check-up? And do they count the benefits you already get when they're figuring out if you qualify for SSI/SSDI?
