How do I find a VA health facility near me?
I can help you find the closest VA health facility.
What if I'm not approved?
If you aren't approved, you can appeal your case. Downloading our How Do I Appeal booklet in PDF form can help you with this process.
How long does it take to receive my approval letter?
Usually no more than a week. Has it been over a week since you applied?
No. I just applied yesterday.
What happens if I decide to cancel my VA health care benefits later on?
Doing so could impact your health care coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act, if you do not have other health care.
