Job Well Done!
At VA, we value your service, your sacrifice, and the sacrifice of your family. We hope to have the privilege of helping care for any medical condition you may have suffered while serving in combat for your country.
The VA Capitol Health Care Network is committed to support returned troops and to make sure they have the health care and benefits they need.
Each VA Medical Center and VA Benefits Office have dedicated employees working with returning service members and veterans from Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
Please understand that you have five years from your date of discharge to receive free health care for any condition that may be related to combat service. After the five years, a co-payment status will depend on whether your illness or injury is found to be service-connected.
