Take your DD214 when you go in, your looking for the 'eligibility' office. Do you have a Combat Action ribbon? Such is greatly to your advantage.

If you had a condition before and you had it looked at at the VA you probily need to be concidered for VA disibility. To do this you need to go to the nearest VA regional center and fill out a claim form and probily get a physical for it to go through. If you were at 10% the cost will be nothing for the tratment but for other treatment you will probily have to pay (Not a lot) for the apointment.

woolyfluff - besides taking your DD-214 (I also take my DD-256/ Certificate of Honorable Discharge), take your old VA medical card if you still have it. Be prepared to go thru the hoops to get a new card. At least us older veterans have different VA benefits due to our dates of military service, as compared to the returning veterans now being discharged today.
