This Vols4Vets.com page keeps current links, phone numbers and source notes for the book chapter.

Official-source caution: Vols4Vets.com is a routing companion to the book. Official agencies, crisis lines, providers and program pages control action, eligibility, deadlines, phone numbers and forms.

Who this helps

Best first step

Start with VA health care enrollment, then use VA Find Locations for current facilities and services.

What to gather

DD214, income and insurance details if requested, current address and needed service.

Safety notes

  • Do not assume the nearest VA facility is the right one for the care you need. Confirm the service is offered there.
  • Do not skip enrollment because you think a past denial still applies. Circumstances and rules can change.
  • Do not wait for a health problem to become serious before enrolling.
