The Plymouth colony first cared for veterans beginning in 1636. Three hundred and seventy-three years later, the United States continues to provide the best possible care for our greatest assets. ODVA continues to be at the tip of the sword in response to Warrior Care. There is no greater calling than to care for those that ensured our freedom; Warrior Care is America's duty.

 

When you become wounded, injured, or ill as a member of the armed forces, a formal set of rules is in place to make sure you receive all of the benefits for which you are eligible. This process is called the Disability Evaluation System (DES) and it operates under public law (Title 10 and Title 38) to ensure you are treated fairly. Military veterans may qualify for over $3,100 in monthly Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation benefits. Addional amounts are paid for the veterans spouse, children, and dependent parents.

Under the "Combat Veteran" authority, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides cost-free health care services for five years. ODVA strongly encourages you to seek the advice and counsel of an accredited Veteran Service Officer to represent your interests before filing a claim or enrolling in the health care program. Download VA Form 10-10EZ - Application for Medical Benefits (Health Care Enrollment Form)
