One of the biggest misconceptions about the VA medicine is that the VA will only cover medicine that is related to service connected conditions. There was a president that came in and did a little house cleaning on the VA. Thank you Mr. Trump. Now it doesn't matter what the condition is as long as you are service connected in some way. All the medicines I take are covered and my service connection is only 10% for tinnitus. With type II diabetes I get the injectable I need to maintain blood sugar levels through the VA pharmacy. The diabetes is in no way connected to anything I did in the service. But there it is. Getting the service connected attribute clears the path for many benefits: Eye exams and glasses, hearing tests and hearing aids. The following image is from the website that publishes all the benefits. Clicking on the image will take you to the site that describes all the benefits Mr. Trump did for the Vets.
