To listmembers who are U. S. veterans: This may have been posted before, but I did not see it. There is an article in the April, 1997issue of the online periodical VFW about changes in health benefits for veterans of the U. S. armed services. I can't tell how much application there is for PWPs, but you may want to investigate. www.vfw.org click on VFW magazine then find the April issue. The article is entitled Meeting Veterans Changing Health Needs. Question: I am a freelance writer on health issues. Should I query VFW about doing an article on vets with PD? I would need to use this list as resource, and the article would not be a muck raker, but an information giver on statistics and personal experiences and VA handling of the condition.
