Gail5, I've dealt with the VA,DAV,and others for 24 years now. And AMVETS reps have been and given the most sincere and compassionate help! You'll still have to do alot of research yourself but AMVETS should help steer you in all the right directions!
Hang Tough and don't give up!

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
