VA also provides specialty services, such as:

Are you using all the health benefits you have earned?

Only 44% of women veterans are enrolled in VA health care. To learn more about the health benefits that you have earned and deserve: https://www.va.gov/files/2023-01/women-veterans-qsg.pdf

A majority of women veterans are not utilizing their earned benefits. As a result, they do not have access to the VA health care system or the low- or cost-free care it offers.

It’s never too late to enroll in VA health care services.
