I live in Mexico now. I have a 40% disability rating without any VA hospitals near by. What can I do? Is there any assistance for veterans living abroad?

I live in Denmark, get my VA care through the Foreign Medical Program. I attend a private doc. Sometimes it is a little run around, but it gets done. Now they have "contractors" who set up your physical appointments which is a lot easier now than years ago.
