I am a DAV and went to the main hospital in Atlanta. Both times I had an appointment,. Its about 100+ miles each way. Being 74 its a hard drive for me especially in the busy Atlanta traffic. Both times I was denied travel expenses which has never happened before. Why?
The other possibility is that your income situation may have improved, thereby making you ineligible for travel expenses.
It is hard to understand why the VA would arbitrarily withhold your travel expenses unless one of the above situations exists. The VA provides a patient advocate that can look into your case and get the answer that you need. Call your local VA Center and ask for the name and phone number of the Patient Advocate.
