Travel allowance for scheduled appointments for care at a VA medical facility or VA authorized health care facility

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.

Financial support. Financial assistance programs help bridge gaps in income, cover emergency expenses, or provide bonuses and allowances you've earned through your service.

Reduced travel costs. Transportation benefits — including toll exemptions, reduced registration fees, and travel reimbursements — lower the cost of getting around, especially for medical appointments.

Family protection. Benefits that extend to your spouse, children, or dependents multiply the value of your service. Education, healthcare, and financial support for your family provides lasting security.
