I have had my MSC confirm this and put my concerns to rest, but I wanted to ask the forum and get any feedback. I am 100% P and T by VA and am working on transferring my care. Going forward I will stay on top of my medical care but there are times when medications are prescribed or other forms of treatment that simply do not work or the side effects are not worth it to me. Going through MEB and DOD care I have done everything asked of me in terms of treatment because I understand there is a litigation side to it all - but as I transfer over to VA care, I don't want to have to worry about anything being taken away because I choose to perhaps not engage in a certain form of treatment, therapy, or medication, correct?
The last few years have been so much about medical care for me. And I am grateful. However, I also believe that the way to happiness is working hard and re-engaging life as much as I can with physical limitations, which means not making every day about all about medical care, Dr. visits, refilling prescriptions, etc.
Thoughts? My understanding from MSC and others is 100% P&T will not be taken away. Ever. (Hence the "permanent" along with the "total")
