PO3 Patricia Miner6543542<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm in the process of being referred to the Mayo Clinic for treatment. Actually, more like a guinea pig situation because the VA has finally accepted and agreed there is nothing they can do for me. I have questions about travel expenses. Until my disability claim goes through I can't afford to travel from Tennessee to Minnesota and pay for food and lodging there. Is there a way to have some of the expense paid upfront?Has anyone been referred to a hospital like the Mayo Clinic for treatment? Can I get paid for travel expenses up front?2020-12-01T14:59:55-05:00PO3 Patricia Miner6543542<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm in the process of being referred to the Mayo Clinic for treatment.
