I rotated through the Br, Nola, and Hammond VAs. I agree with Yip. And oftentimes, they'd come to their treatment appt furious because they only got X amount of service connection for a disability instead of more. "Sir (or mam), you will need to take that up with C&P dept." Not me... unfortunately, that's an entirely different type of appt or provider for that. I'm just here to help you.

Once we explained it in detail, they usually understood. It's sad to say this, but most vets (active duty and /or civilians) do not know how the system works and were never educated on it. They have no idea and rarely does anyone explain it to them. That's why we have the problem in this country of having a lot of pissed off veterans.

This is true. When I was separating about the only thing I was told about the medical side of the VA is that I was entitled to free care for service related injuries.
