Veterans: New website for ordering contact lenses - VA News
I will avoid this-

The VCS PatriotVision website prices for contact lenses are significantly higher that of some other on-line vendors. Why are you pushing this particular company?

I know the VA is trying, still a long way to go though – I had a shoulder X-RAY over 3 months ago. Never heard from anyone after that, so I still wonder why I drove over 80 miles to get that X-RAY. Members of Congress skirt our laws to pad their portfolios with millions of insider trading dollars while my brothers and sisters die or live with crippling ailments and baseline healthcare so politicians can reap the rewards of their own criminal behaviors.
Anyways, in regards to this contacts offer, please do diligence and shop prices – just one example, I can get the same “DAILIES AquaComfort Plus 90 pack” offered on that VCS site for 50% less through Costco. Just sayin’ ;-)

I can get them cheaper at any eye doctor. Or order them online anywhere else and save 20% off your so-called discount. Just another company trying to take advantage of veterans. You should be ashamed!

When will Veterans start getting the needed prescriptions for contacts from VA optometrist. This service offer from VCS isn’t saving Veterans money it would be more helpful to look into what can be accomplished to actually help save money.

I’ve found the products offered through VCS to be quite underwhelming overall and not very price competitive, so I don’t shop there.

Reimbursed VA Travel Expenses And Mileage Rate | Veterans Affairs
If you can’t afford to pay the monthly deductible 
 

You may be eligible for a deductible waiver. You don’t need to pay the deductible if you meet the requirements listed below.
This must be true:
You’re eligible for VA travel pay reimbursement.
And at least one of these must also be true. You’re:

Receiving a VA pension, or
Traveling for a scheduled VA claim exam, or
A non-service-connected Veteran, and your income last year was below the maximum annual VA pension rate, or
A non-service-connected Veteran, and what you expect to earn this year doesn’t exceed our maximum annual VA pension rate, or
A service-connected Veteran, and your income last year falls below the VA national income limit for health care benefits and prescriptions, or
A service-connected Veteran and what you expect to earn this year doesn’t exceed our national income limit for health care benefits and prescriptions

If we determine that you qualify for a waiver, we’ll automatically waive your deductible. You can also request a waiver in person or in writing.
Note: We consider Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits for 100% service-connected Veterans to be special monthly compensation and not a VA pension.

Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) | Veterans Affairs
Can I convert my VGLI policy into a commercial policy?
 

Yes. You can convert your policy into a commercial (civilian) policy at any time. You’ll be able to convert at standard premium rates, without having to provide proof that you’re in good health.
Convert your VGLI policy with these steps:

 Choose your new insurance company.
Get a list of the participating companies 
 Apply at the local sales office of your chosen company. 
 Get a letter from OSGLI confirming that you have VGLI coverage (called a VGLI Conversion Notice) and give the letter to the agent who takes your application. 

Note: The conversion policy must be a permanent policy, such as a whole life policy. You can’t convert to other types of policies, like term, variable life, or universal life insurance. And supplementary policy benefits, like Accidental Death and Dismemberment or Waiver of Premium for Disability, aren’t considered part of the conversion policy.

 What if I need help with my claim?
 

If you have questions about Servicemembers’ or Veterans’ Group Life Insurance, you can call the Office of Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (OSGLI) at 800-419-1473 or email the Prudential Insurance Company.

 Which forms would my family member need?
 

To request an advance insurance payment for a service member who’s terminally ill, a family member would file a Claim for Accelerated Benefits (SGLV 8284).
Get SGLV 8284 to download
To receive an insurance payment after a service member has died, a family member would file a Claim for Death Benefits (SGLV 8283).
