    I got the thing a year ago and filled it out.

    For us here it makes sense because the region is pretty darn remote.
    Until a new VA clinic opened in Brookings the only option was a 4 hour drive inland
    to Roseburg.

    But right now with the highway collapsed between here and Brookings, using this
    program might come in handy.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Changes were just recently made to the program, like just last month though. It's supposed to be easier to use and more people are qualified... supposedly. It also got a bunch more money.

    I'm 55 miles away from the nearest VA clinic too, so I qualify. You still have to get a referral from your VA doctor though. You can't just make an appointment. It still has to get VA approval. Seems to me that kinda defeats the purpose.

    Same here, 2 hour trip to the nearest VA hospital. THeres a VA clinic 30 miles from me, but they are worthless. I rarely go to the doctor though so it's not a huge deal, but when I do go I want to see a competent doctor without having to drive 100 miles each way.
