Brent It all depends on which VA Center one goes to. Some know what needs to be done. Others have problems and issues where they can't see the patients they get in daily. Some VA centers are building [laces for VETS that will have areas for all kinds of areas. If people need daily care it is there/ If they need to be looked at now and then they can get that too. If they just need to be checked weekly or monthly they get it. In centers like that they have doctors that can and do treat all kinds of ailments and epilepsy is one of them. I know my uncle had filled the paperwork out to go to one but he died before the papers were finished. Well he was getting kinds old since 7 days after he died he would have been 90. But yes there are places that do help and other places that don't since the feds control what the VETS Hospitals can and can't do
