No cost health care for service-connected disabilities (All other care may have co-pays.) is a federal benefit administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans across the United States.

Why This Benefit Matters
Health coverage. Access to healthcare services can reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket medical costs. Preventive care and prescriptions through these programs often have no copays for service-connected conditions.
Monthly income. Disability compensation is tax-free monthly income that acknowledges your service-connected conditions. Higher ratings unlock additional benefits and increased payments.
Reduced travel costs. Transportation benefits — including toll exemptions, reduced registration fees, and travel reimbursements — lower the cost of getting around, especially for medical appointments.
