Looking for a form and /or letter to send to to the VAH in regards to there lack of service.
I have moved from one VAH area to another and have been trying to get an appointment for over 6 months,they have just canceled my last appointment
and reset till mid May.
I'm rated 80% disabled with a heart condition and about to run out of meds. 😑

appylon there has to be a VA clinic somewhere near you. Get to the clinic insist on seeing a Dr. and tell him your situation. They can access your records through their computer using your last four SS#'s and get your meds coming to you. I hope this helps.

I live 35 miles from ABQ, NM. That is the ONLY Hosp. or clinic within a 100 + miles. "records through their computer" Nope ,my many years in the VAH
computer from where I moved from (Calif.) did not show up in the NM VAH
computer. I had to drive into ABQ. and fill out all new info. they wouldn't
even accept my VAH issued ID.

Form Letter

I would recommend that you contact your local DAV Rep and have them work it for you. They are fairly good working with the VA.

Go to the New VAH emergency room. Take your meds with you. This will probably get you into their system.
