Yeah. If you live in the us. I have lived in the Philippines for 9 years. I have applied repeatedly for Camp Lejeune water contamination benefits for steatorrhea and blood dyscrasia (myoproliferative disease) i cant get reimbursed for bone marrow biopsy, lab reviews, hematology tests, liver markers and internal medicine appointments. The claims don't get denied, they disappear, you can't appeal nothing. They won't treat what isn't adjudicated. So they won't send N95 masks to the 12000 veterans in their catchment area, to help protect them as veterans and largest population of US citizens in the country and their families. Exacting requirements to non immigrant confines families to the country, the aging veterans and their frailties provide a breeding ground and a potential death sentence due to entrapment and isolationism from home and better medical care.
