You are seeking care from VA only for a service-connected disability. VA encourages veterans in the above categories to also apply for enrollment so we can better plan for your healthcare needs. Starting in October 1997, all veterans may apply by contacting the nearest VA healthcare facility. In this case, VA will process an application on your behalf. Your initial enrollment will be confirmed in writing between June and September 1998.
Veterans can apply for enrollment at any facility, at anytime during any year.
You will remain enrolled for one year. Your enrollment will be reviewed and renewed each year depending upon your priority group and available resources. If VA cannot renew your enrollment for another year you will be notified in writing 60 days before your enrollment expires. The term service-connected refers to a VA decision that your illness or injury was incurred in or aggravated by military service. Please note that this document is not an application form.
