This pamphlet lists the variety of federal benefits available to veterans and their dependents. Eligibility depends upon individual circumstances.
Counselors can answer questions about benefits eligibility and application procedures.
They also make referrals to other VA facilities, such as medical centers and national cemeteries. Phone numbers of VA offices, including those in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, are listed in the back of this book. VA facilities also are listed in the federal government section of telephone directories under Department of Veterans Affairs. Once enrolled, a veteran is eligible to receive services without further processing. Details of the enrollment program are discussed in the Health-Care Benefits section of this publication.
