The
Department of Veterans Affairs has promoted new eligibility
rules that provide Active Component and Reserve Component
personnel who served in designated combat zones (since November
11, 1998) with 5 years of free healthcare services for conditions
potentially related to combat service, from the date of separation
from active duty. This includes Reservists or National Guard
members who have been activated for federal duty under Presidential
order and now have "veteran
status."
All veterans must apply to receive VA health care benefits.
You can apply for VA health care by completing VA form 1010EZ.
This form may be obtained by visiting, calling or writing
any VA health care facility or veterans’ benefits office.
You can also access
the form on the Internet HERE, or
call the VA Health Care Eligibility Center at 877-222-VETS
(8387).
