I know there are many veterans on this forum and I want to thank you for your service! I have a service related neurological issue for years. Recently it has gotten worse.
My primary VA PCM referred me to a Neurologist back in the beginning of March. The soonest I could get an appointment was the end of September!
I saw the Optometrist there in June who prescribed some glasses and noted that I have a growth on one cornea from some metal that was removed years ago at a USAF hospital. I was told that the glasses would be mailed to me within 10 days. I haven't received them as of this date. You can not call to check on them because the phone system in the optometry clinic has been down for over 4 months. So you have to go in person to make appointment!
The VA healthcare providers are very good but WAAAY under staffed! (I checked the VA.gov jobs website and there are no vacant jobs listed at Pensacola VA!) Senator Tuberville has introduced a bill called "No VA Resources For Illegal Aliens Act". Not surprisingly our POTUS is NOT supporting this Hopefully all the veterans become aware of this and vote accordingly! Feel free to share this info!
