Posts: 1 Apr 25 12 1:50 PM	Tags : None I have been a disabled vet since 1980. I have never used my VA benifits. It turns out to get medical treatment I need to be at least 10% disabled. What is the best way to do this? My sevice connected disability is my broken collor bone that never healed correctly and my left leg had a nastly laseration that took about 17 stitches at the time to put back together. Thanks in advance, Mark

Thanks in advance, Mark Welcome to VBN your in wrong forum to ask such questions. SHOULD BE IN DISABILITY FORUM You do not need to be 10% to get medical treatment at VA it is based on your income etc and what you getting treatment for. Now if its a SC condition its automatic if you have 0% rating except dental. What you need to do is file a claim for increase. I think you may want to read over the FAQ section in disability forum this help you. Hopefully someone move this soon. “Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.” VETERAN
