You will receive it regardless of where you live. In fact, there are enough veteran ex-pats living in the Philippines, that the VA has an out-patient clinic and a VBA Regional Office located there.

LCpl Shane Couch In most cases you do not lose anything by becoming a dual-citizen or changing your nationality. We have many veterans receiving VA benefits that never became U.S. citizens.

no issue, in most cases a lot of countries have approved health care facilities even if a VA facility does not exist. And if one does not exist, you can petition for the VA to approve one.

Yes, but remember, the VA loves to change things around periodically. I know the longest enlisted Viet POW, and the VA out of nowhere down graded his disability. He had to fight for a year to get it restored. Hard to do outside CONUS
