This has happened to a vet I know and he has no money to go to AZ. He ans his wife have a little income and she worked in Jackson Hole WY where they are given a place to live as part of their income. he requires about $24,000 a year i medication and they cannot afford that. So they are desperate to find a place to stay in the cold months. This sounds to me like the VA is cutting off its vets who can not afford to move. It is really awful. He is in the last stages of Alzheimer disease and has a bad heart. Moving upsets him and they will lose their income if the go South. How can they do this to him? What kind of advantage can this possible give them except to cut him off form his meds so he will die a horrible death and kill his wife as they would also deny him hospice or nursing care, It is a shame, a real shame the Va is killing off the senior vets. If you can give me a valid reason for this torture i will pass it on to them, Right now that are in shock.
