The New VA Law

Regarding the new law pertaining to service dogs in VA buildings:

The estimate is that this new rule regarding VA buildings potentially excludes as much as 85% of the SD community. MOST ADI programs do not train the kinds of "psych" tasks that so many veterans desperately need. This necessitates these veterans, needing dogs so desperately, having NO CHOICE but to OT or go through a non-ADI program. Now, suddenly, their dogs may not (probably won't) be allowed to go to doctor appointments with them at VA Hospitals and Clinics. Undoubtedly, many of these veterans who are in need of medical treatment will no longer go to their various medical appointments solely because they'd have to leave their partners behind. (The military is pretty clear about never leaving your partners behind. Just sayin') We all know that when we don't see our doctors, they eventually won't refill our meds and that if we do not see our psychologists then they can't help us. No meds and no therapy usually leads to suffering and pain. And yes, it is that veteran's choice to not leave behind the partner...perhaps the ONLY living thing that service member honestly believes cares about them and who helps them...just to go into a cold and sterile building to see doctors who don't often offer much kindness or real help. I cannot see how this new policy in ANY way serves Veterans...and isn't that why the VA exists?
