Hello there. I hope you're having a great day. Can you tell me about enhanced eligibility for returning combat veterans?
Of course. You can receive free VA health care for up to 5 years after discharge or release for any condition related to your service in Operation Enduring Freedom OEF in Afghanistan or Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF or Operation New Dawn OND in Iraq. This is called an enhanced eligibility period.
Free health care sounds great. Should I apply right away or can it wait a while?
Are you planning to delay your application for VA health care?
