To find out whether there is a van near you use the DAV Hospital Service
Coordinator Directory to contact your nearest HSC for information or assistance.
Please remember that the DAV Transportation Network is staffed by volunteers;
therefore, it is unable to cover every community. Any Service member who was not
dishonorably discharged and sustained an injury or illness during their time in
the military—whether service connected by the VA or not—or anyone who aggravated
a previous injury during his or her time in service, is eligible for DAV
membership so long as they served during a period of armed conflict. As part of
Ford's longstanding relationship, DAV members receive X-Plan Partner pricing on
eligible new Ford and Lincoln vehicles, as well as up to $1000 reimbursement to
adapt their vehicle to fit their needs through the Ford Accessibility program.
Navigating the resources available to veterans can be confusing, but DAV
believes no veteran should have to go it alone. All services provided by DAV are
free of charge.

Today's VHA - the largest of the three administrations that comprise the VA -

needs. VHA is the largest integrated health care system in the United States,

VA REGIONAL OFFICES

The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) helps service members transition out
of military service, and assists with Veterans with education, home loans, life
insurance and much more. Service members, Veterans, their families, and
Survivors are invited to request information on VA Benefits including disability
compensation, pension, fiduciary, education, Veteran Readiness and Employment
(VR&E), Home Loans, and Insurance. In addition to information on VA Benefits
Veterans may initiate an intent to file and request assistance with filing
compensation and pension claims. Visit regional office websites to learn about
the services the regional office provides, directions to the facility, hours of
operation, and the leadership team that serves the regional office.


FIND OUT IF YOU CAN GET VA HEALTH CARE AS A VETERAN

The following four categories of Veterans are not required to enroll but are
urged to do so to permit better planning of health resources:

 1. Veterans with a service-connected (SC) disability rated at 50% or more.
 2. Veterans seeking care for a disability the military determined was incurred
    or aggravated in the line of duty, but which VA has not yet rated, within 12
    months of discharge.
 3. Veterans seeking care for a SC disability only or under a special treatment
    authority.
 4. Veterans seeking registry examinations (ionizing radiation, Agent Orange,
    Gulf War/Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New
    Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) depleted uranium, airborne hazards, and Open Burn Pit
    Registry).

Find out how to apply for VA health care benefits as a Veteran or service
member. For other mental health services, contact a VA medical center for
information on eligibility and treatment options.

In 1946, Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) was established by law to provide
comfort and well-being to America’s Veterans. With our many retail stores, cafés
and coffee shops across the country, we serve those who have served our country.
We are a self-sustaining entity providing merchandise and services to Veterans
enrolled in VA’s healthcare system, their families, caregivers, VA employees,
volunteers and visitors. We are honored to give back to the VA community through
many programs established for the health and well-being of our nation’s heroes.
Revenues generated from VCS are used to support a variety of programs, such as
VA’s Rehabilitation Games, Fisher Houses, Poly-Trauma Centers for OIF/OEF/OND
Veterans, disaster relief efforts, Substance Abuse Cessation, VA’s Homelessness
initiatives, Women Veterans, Veteran Suicide Prevention and other activities.

VCS operates over 200 Patriot Stores in Veterans Administration (VA) Medical
Centers nationwide. Many of our stores have been recently updated and expanded
to provide our customers with a modern, clean and comfortable shopping
experience. Our stores welcome our customers with wider aisles, wood-like
floors, enhanced lighting and directional signage. PatriotStores have expanded
hours of operation to provide service for customers on weekends at most
locations.

The Patriot Cafe is the best place in the VA Medical Center to enjoy delicious,
freshly prepared breakfast or lunch served hot or cold each weekday. Providing
Veterans, their families, VA employees, volunteers and visitors a place to relax
and enjoy a meal or take-out for their convenience. With a wide variety of food
