VETERANS AFFAIRS BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

You may be eligible for VA benefits if you are:

• A veteran
• A veteran’s dependant
• Surviving spouse, child or parent of a deceased veteran
• An active-duty service member
• A member of the Reserve or National Guard

If you are eligible for federal benefits but have never applied, you still can. Let a professionally trained VFW Service Officer help you. In fact, by turning to the VFW to help you file a claim, the chances for approval are much better than if you go at it alone.
