My experience is different. Because of getting screwed around by Air Force doctors for four years, I only qualified for the deafness in my right ear. The VA doesn't pay for ANYTHING for me. SSI is my primary source of income, and if not for medicare I wouldn't get ANY of the medicines for my neurological issues. Maybe some are abusing it, but some of us can't get ANY help from them.
