About this listen

Welcome to The Big Vet Unleashed — where the real talk starts. This isn’t your typical VA podcast. Hosted by a straight-shooting veteran who’s been in the trenches of the system, The Big Vet Unleashed breaks down the VA maze with zero sugarcoating and 100% mission focus. Every week, we get into the stuff that actually matters: how to get emergency care outside the VA, what those disability ratings really mean, how to fight back when your claim gets denied, and where to turn when you need real mental health support. We cut through the red tape and decode VA benefits in plain English — no politics, no fluff, just facts and firepower. Whether you just took off the uniform or you’ve been battling for your benefits since Desert Storm or ‘Nam — this podcast is for you. We bring you expert insights, hard-won hacks, and real stories from vets who’ve been there, done that, and came out swinging. It’s time to stop waiting and start winning.

  • Community Care Covered or Not
    Sep 10 2025

    Veterans, did you know the VA can refer you to a civilian doctor — but only if you follow the process exactly? In this episode of The Big Vet Unleashed, we break down how to use the VA’s Community Care program the right way. Learn who qualifies, how to request a referral, how long authorizations last, and what happens if you let one expire.

    We also cover the most common mistakes veterans make — and how to avoid surprise bills or having the VA send your claim to your private insurance. Whether you're dealing with delays, distance, or specialty care needs, this is the information you and your family need to stay covered.
