VA recently did an update to their web site. While doing this they changed the Health-related Travel and Rehabilitation-related Expenses Claim Form W197992. I have been filing it in weekly with the intentions of submitting it after 60-70 visits. The Form now is locked, has new information on it and I cannot access it. Just to let everyone know that uses this form you can now only load 30 visits and then it must be submitted.( I only see this a a way for Bluecross to make more money as the forms were computer generated and submitted by computer.)
Just a heads up

Is there a min distance to summit a travel claim. I drive 20km twice a week sometimes once for years and I have never put in a claim...
