Question:

I'm in pain everday with dental issues. How or where can I receive help? I need upper partial dentures bad.

I'm an Honorably Discharged Veteran, Viet Era, USAF. I don't have any disability percentage, but I have medical conditions since my service which can be described as disabilitating. I'm a Diabetic, have High Colesterol, High Blood Pressure and (2) Herniated Discs. plus, flat feet. My problems were hurting me such that I was released from military service early, after repetitive visits to the infirmary for help. I was released thinking I would be assisted with disability after release, but to this day have received none (1972 to present). Today, I also have excessive dental problems causing me continuous pains and agony, but the VA will not assist me, nor point me somewhere to get assistance.I'm presently unemployed, though receiving unemployment compensation


Answers:

Most Va's have a veteran's representative who is there to assist you in applying for disability. They do not give it to you automatically. If you were in Viet Nam and now are diagnosed with type II diabetes, you automatically qualify for service connected disability. If you cannot get any assistance from the Vet Rep at the VA, almost any VFW or DAV organization can help you apply or you can apply online at http://www.va.gov/ good luck!!!
