Question:
Hello, I hope all is well. I am a veteran with 100% VA compensation (P&T). Can I lose my benefits if I test positive for cannabis and cocaine for the first time ever? Thank you for your feedback. I can provide my phone number to further discuss if necessary. Thank you!!

No...you will not lose any benefits if you test positive for any drug use whether legal or not. You may lose prescriptions to controlled drugs like pain meds but your disability benefits are predicated on the disability and nothing else. Your doctor may offer you a rehab program or not. If you think you may have a problem, go for it...otherwise, no worries.
