Veterans Benefits

Once a Primary Care Physician is assigned, an initial evaluation will be scheduled and done. The results of this initial evaluation will serve as the driver for which programs the veteran will be eligible to participate, HOWEVER most of these programs do have wait lists and it will be necessary to maintain close contact with the Primary Care Physician.
