    I am a Chickasaw Warrior an I got notice my va card had expired .how do I get it active again? Also I may be able to receive disability benefits if I get a medical evaluation. I have used a cpap for years. I worked on the flightless as a air traffic controller so I was exposed to everything. I have lost most of my hearing, 6 kinds of cancer . It started with lung cancer twice, prostate that caused ED problems, Melisetic Melanoma stage 4. Several chemotherapy radiation and surgeries and more. Can I get a va evaluation for disability?
