What documentation do I need in order to claim Veterans Preference for federal government positions?
• A formal letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Department of Defense (DoD) that shows the existence of a compensable service-connected disability. • Valid disability documentation must be dated after 1990. (Before 1990, disability documentation had to be validated every 12 months. Disability documentation dated after 1990 is permanent and can always be used.) • DD214, which verifies dates of service, honorable discharge, etc.
