Often now these "new programs" are nothing more than publicity stunts and smoke and mirrors to try and show the VA making improvements. Just reading this, it become apparent that it is going to be difficult and complicated for most of us and the "traveler" will get little unless you regularly go to one place, stay there for a longer period of time, and then go home. For the true traveler, like many here are, it will be of no use. Just as with the Veterans Choice program, most will find it routinely denied because the workers in the field know nothing about how it operates or the program is actually set up to not offer the service to 99% of those that apply for it. These programs are also separately funded and as soon as the funds run out, they are no longer available. It would be interesting to hear from anyone that makes this work for them and anyone that has tried to use it and failed. I'm sorry, but I don't have much faith in the "changes" based on my personal past experience. Chuck
