I was medically retired in June at 80% (appealing to 90%). At the time I saw a VA rep whom I remember to be a great help. The problem is, I don’t remember much of the details, only that I agreed to continue care with the VA. My memory is shoddy anymore (the intelligence is there but its a crap shoot on when I can access it
). All I know is that I signed up my family for TriCare Prime (active teens and a spouse w/ bad health) and opted to have care continued at VA.
