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 2 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).
