Veterans Retraining Assistance Program Clark Veterans Cemetery Update FYI on Non-Service Connected (NSC) Treatment at the VA OPC From: VA OPC, Manila We have stopped providing appointments for all NSC conditions. However, medications will still be provided for both SC and NSC. Your Primary Care doctor will continue to prescribe these for you. The volume of NSC referrals had resulted to delay in getting service connected schedules and compensation and pensions exams. Please understand that we need to prioritize scheduling our veteran’s SC conditions and completing compensation and pension exams as our primary mandate. In order to do this, we had to stop providing appointments for NSC conditions. We hope you understand why need to implement these restrictions. Amiel T.
