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.
