WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

Not everyone who is eligible for VA health benefits needs to apply. Some veterans, such as those with certain types of disabilities, are automatically eligible to receive VA health benefits. But it can be a good idea to apply anyway.

If you have questions about VA health care benefits, including whether you are eligible, you may contact the VA by calling 1-877-222-8387. When you call this number, you can ask for the contact information for the Enrollment Coordinator at your local VA health care facility. Finally, you can also visit the VA’s health care websites, which are available at www.va.gov/healthbenefits and www.myhealth.va.gov.
