If you have issues getting treatment with the VA, contact your local congressman.

My buddy was a Vietnam chopper pilot that had VA service issues, despite earning 4 purple hearts. He contacted his congressman. The VA suddenly was very helpful and after they researched his record, found out he was deserving of an additional commendation that was overlooked.

I was told that my Army service records were burned in a fire in St Louis. I was in the Army from 1965 to 1968.
I originally went to the VA because of tinnitus problems. They did do a hearing test and said I have serious hearing problems but because my records were destroyed, I cannot get a VA primary care doctor which gives the benefits.
After about 18 months of contacting several veteran assistance groups, I gave up.
