And let me ask this...

Can VA actually terminate someone's eligibility to be treated?

I was under the impression that no, they cannot, other than if you commit a major crime or if you hit income exclusion levels, but that it certainly CAN'T be arbitrarily used as a threat by a VA doctor or administrator to gain patient compliance.
