Why are all these guys commenting on a Womans Day Event sponsered by the VA. The VA is not the administration in office. Stay in your own lane guys.

How early can transitioning female servicemembers engage with VA's women's health services before ETS? Or is VA healthcare only available after the final ETS date?

WTF...How do we fight against this tyranny? This administration disrespects woman vets, vets of color, all of us. Big mistake. We are the wrong part of the constituency Mr.Trump should piss off.

I need Caregiver information and help. But I am the veteran caring for my aging mother, so I don’t seem to qualify for the caregiver program for caregivers caring for aging veterans. I as the veteran need help as well.

Women's health. I find many providers still have limited knowledge specific to my needs. As an older veteran, I still need support for gyn health and hormone issues. Also, having mental health issues, I was too drugged for over 15 years to be aware of what was lacking for me. I have severe osteoporosis, worse in my spine. I was being given tums and vitamin D for bone health. My BDS's was faxed in. No record in my file. It's been over a 5 year period when i had a total hip replacement and I needed proof before I was given Fosamax. I'm 73, was misdiagnosed 20 years ago as psychotic, just now learning about CPTSD. In 2014 I was told it was an accepted mental health diagnosis. My records prove the diagnosis since 1990 till today yet I wasn't aware to understand why I had these behaviors. The VRC program out of Dallas has given me insight, treatment and support. These two problems for women, physical and mental health, need constant focus to educate the differences between male and female bodies. Being shoved aside has gone on far to long. Thank you

I have been receiving services through the VA Healthcare System since 1993, and exclusively through the VA since retiring in 2014. I turn 65 later this year which means I have to consider signing up for Medicare. I do not have a service-connected disability/rating but from all indication through my preliminary research on the subject, it would be in my best interest to sign up for Medicare as if the VA starts cutting its patient roles, I'm in a "priority group" that would be first to let go. Needless to say I will be enrolling in Medicare in the event this happens under the current administration or in the future. In my situation, how does Medicare coordinate with my VA health care benefits? I do understand I can still utilize the VA for health care with no problem and there is no coordination of benefits with Medicare.

Discharged in 1978, and never tapped into any benefits. Does this mean I am ineligible for anything? How do I get my Veteran card?
