has anyone else applied for the VGLI late? i got out in july 2020 and have had so much going on with my appointments for my service connected disability and trying to juggle all of that, im just now getting around to it. it’s saying online that it’s too late and there’s no way to get life insurance through the VA anymore and im just very surprised and confused by that. i’m going to call someone at the VA and talk to them about it soon but it’s 4th weekend so everyone’s out till wednesday, i figured i’d ask here in the meantime. i’d appreciate anything that can help, thank you

That's it, that's the question. My goober psychologist made this statement to me, that he seriously feels that working with Vets at the VA basically makes him a veteran. I use the Loma Linda VA.

Anyone else feel the urge to carry a sidearm this time of year?? It’s been like 15 bloody years and I still get uneasy if I don’t have some way to defend myself when fireworks start popping off. Not all the time. Not when I’m lighting them, but every once in a while, that neural path still gets tripped.

Just got my COE and I am curious why its only 36 months of eligibility. Could someone explain this to me? I have plenty of crayons and time to take notes.

Been out for a few years now. Did 4 years active Marine Corps but considering reenlisting into the Marine Corps reserves. Does anyone know how this would affect my disability rating/ anything else with the VA?

Hi everyone. My glasses that the Army paid for broke so I've been slightly blind since 2020. Are there any resources to help Veterans get replacement glasses at a discount? Thanks!

Have you guys gotten used to your pain medication? If so what did you do? Do you request a higher dose or just take more of the medication you have?

I am considered 70% disabled and am currently pregnant. I established prenatal care early into the third month of my pregnancy. I spoke to my VA rep and the other necessary parties to figure out if my prenatal care was covered. I was told that prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care would be covered, and that I’d have a minimal copay of any. I went to the clinic of their choosing for this care and thought all was well. Today I received three letters stating that the VA had received my bills from this hospital and that all related costs were denied because it was not an emergency service or disability-related. The total bill is almost 3K and I am at a loss. Obviously they’re not open on the weekend and I have no idea why this is happening. This hospital has said that they regularly work with veterans and VA insurance. Im sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place, Im going to contact them on Tuesday – already emailed. Has anyone else had this issue? Will I be responsible for this bill?
