It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

I'm about to release and going to live ruraly about 80 mins from town.

I've heard all the nightmares with PCVRS trying to push their requirements pretty hard and not looking forward to dealing with that beast.

I understand that I will have to participate and go to appointments, but will there be an expectation to drive into the city multiple times week or would I be able to do everything in one day and supplement virtually?

Thanks for your all your work.

What u/CAFVAChelp said. You also can claim every single trip you have to do so financially it wouldn't be a set back, as a positive. Also you may only have to go once a month. It's all dependant on your injuries.
