Can the VA refuse to treat a 100% service-connected veteran citing their case as "too complex," and also refuse to outsource them for care?

Yes, they can and do all the time. They've been doing it to me for over 4 years now. Absolutely ruined my life and has really been hard on my loved ones.
The hardest thing was that no one cares. I guess people assume you deserve it or they just don't care. Even people on Rally Point turned their backs on me. No one cares and they don't want to hear about it.
As long as I don't talk about my health situation and the fact that this country has failed me in that regard big time, I'm fine.
I still love my country and think it's the best country ever! Just help the people that sacrificed their health for their service.
I'm really sorry to hear your having trouble. Just because I'm in this situation doesn't mean you have to be. It sounds like you've been going through it for awhile though.
I have an amazing wife and family, they and my faith are the only reasons I'm still here.
I really wish you the best.

I strongly suggest that you contact the VA Office of Inspector General in Washington and also cc the letter to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. I have never heard of a situation as you describe.

LT.s.g. USNR. If your injury occurred as a result of actions taken while you were on active duty of ANY sort then the Government should pay 100% of the costs to assist in your recovery. But the VA has been starved of money for years and may no longer have the resources to afford such treatment. As for Civilian Insurance Companies, well they are only interested in maximizing profit, and treating your injuries would not be very profitable so they will say no. Maybe we can get some changes to the budgeting of the V.A. if we can elect a Democratic majority in both Houses of Congress. That is your only chance of getting the medical attention you need.

You can file a complaint with the VA's OIG which may get you a response. Doubtful. Or you can contact the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) which is more responsive to complaints like your your's. I worked for the VA & followed the VA's OIG reports for years. Met with OIG investigators before during investigations. They tend to lean towards protecting the VA. The OSC is the better choice.

Call the white house hotline .it does wonders . Every survey u fill out nuke them . Call patient advocate. If u sit back nothing will get done . Over their head is only way . Be relentless

We should vote out then remove anyone who is reducing current Military Members pay & suggesting that those people can have Food Stamps?
Also not paying for the treatment needs of a disabled veteran.

SSgt Markland,
I spoke with a friend of mine who is in upper management at the VA in Dallas and he recommended that you see the patient advocate at the VA (if you have not already done this). The first step would be to send a letter to your congress person and they are to respond within 72 hours. There are 2 other steps you can take as well but the advocate would know. The VA has a responsibility to address your health issues, whether they can address the problem or not. There is a program called community care where providers in the community agree to accept VA payment. If you have already looked into this then your next step is to contact your representative. I'm sorry that you are having this problem,,,,As a healthcare provider of many decades it is a travesty for you to get the run around when the VA has the mission established by President Lincoln to care for those who have borne the battle. Good luck....

I would definitely be writing your congresswoman/man again in addition to working with a lawyer. Sending a letter to POTUS isn’ta Bad idea either
