Imagine losing both your legs while serving your country only to be told the Department of Veterans Affairs can't provide you the wheelchair you need. The VA’s not sure when one will become available. So they tell you to stay in bed.
This is the situation many severely injured veterans find themselves in today. Amazingly, it's what the VA's own rules direct the agency to do.
These rules are called standards of care. And they're woefully inadequate for veterans with catastrophic service-related disabilities.
