Veterans Affairs:
What is needed for me to obtain eligibility for health care benefits from the Department of Veterans' Affairs?
A veteran may apply for enrollment at any time and generally must enroll with the Veterans Affairs. The application
for enrollment is called the VA Form 10-10EZ. An important aspect of enrollment is for the veteran to identify which
VA location he/she will choose for medical care. This can be at any VA location-hospital, clinic, or medical center
and will be considered the veteran's preferred facility for patient care. Call your nearest health-care facility or
the Health Benefits Service Center at 1/877-222-8387 to obtain the latest information concerning changes to health
care benefits. How can I obtain financial benefits from the Department of Veterans' Affairs?
Monetary benefits, called disability compensation, are paid to veterans who are disabled by injury or disease
incurred or aggravated during active military service. The service of the veteran must have been terminated through
separation or discharge under conditions that were other then dishonorable. Disability compensation varies with the
degree of disability and the number of dependents, and is paid monthly. The benefits are not subject to federal or
state income tax. For more information, veterans and beneficiaries should call VA's toll-free Helpline at
1/877-838-2778, Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm, Central Standard Time. What can I do to obtain pension benefits from the Department of Veterans' Affairs?
A veteran must enroll by completing the VA Form 10-EZ application at any Veterans' Affairs location in their area.
