VA UPDATE: Just when you think things may be changing:
Jack is having a procedure - we will be gone one day. For the procedure Jack will be sedated and will be in a wheelchair for the trip. Kona VA specifically put in for special mode (wheelchair) transportation to and from the Airport and Medical Center. However, someone in Oahu has denied that request "because the request does not conform with the medical record" which is total BS. I asked for a copy of the note, and ...they won't provide a copy I asked for the author, can't get that information either. Benetravel strongly suggests that we arrange our own transportation prior to arriving.

Back to the Office of Accountability and hopefully they will open up the investigation again.
Most sick and disabled veterans don't have the where-with-all to deal with this type of harassment and red tape (in Jack's case I think it is retaliation for having complained.) They just give up and this is how disabled veterans die.
