Veterans who have served in the United States military may qualify for a variety of benefits. In addition, dependents of a veteran may also qualify. Congress continues to enact legislation that affects the entitlement and programs provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). To obtain current information on VA benefits, contact the nearest VA regional office at 1-800-827-1000. Counselors at these offices can answer questions about veteran benefit eligibility and application procedures. If necessary you will be referred to other VA facilities, such as medical centers and national cemeteries. You can also search the VA's website at www.va.gov for additional information about veteran benefits.
For information about medical care benefits, you should contact your nearest regional VA office or VA medical facility. For example, information on all types of medical care including nursing home care; domiciliary care; outpatient pharmacy services; outpatient dental treatment; Gulf War, agent orange, and ionizing radiation; alcohol and drug dependency treatment; home improvements and structural alterations; prosthetic services; services and aids for blind veterans; readjustment counseling; and medical care for dependents and survivors is available from regional VA offices.
VA national cemeteries or regional offices can answer questions about eligibility of veterans and dependents for burial.
