Healthcare

The VA provides qualified veterans with access to a full range of free and/or low-cost healthcare services at VA medical centers and clinics in the state. This includes medical coverage for veterans whose condition was not caused by their time in service, as well as limited services for qualifying family members.

Disability Benefits

Those who were injured during service or had an existing injury or illness worsened by their time in service may qualify for extensive VA disability benefits, including disability accommodations, living expenses, and medical bill coverage.

Vocational Programs

Honorably discharged Florida veterans are eligible for free tuition and fees at public Florida post-secondary institutions. Other programs, such as VA-funded career counseling, can further help veterans transition back into civilian life.

Vocational Benefits

The VA offers monthly, tax-free pension benefits to certain veterans based on age, income, and needs-based qualifications.

Pension Benefits

Monthly, tax-free pensions are available to qualifying wartime veterans and their survivors, provided they meet certain age, income, and needs-based requirements.

Housing Assistance

Insurance Coverage

The VA offers veterans and their family members access to favorable coverage options for home, auto, and life insurance policies. These typically include lower rates than those offered to general consumers, plus reduced costs for everything from prescription drugs to plan deductibles.

VA benefit deadlines vary by type of claim:

• Claim appeals: Rejected VA claims can be appealed within one (1) year of the original decision date.
• Pre-discharge claims: Active veterans are eligible to begin the process of filing a VA claim so long as they have no more than 180 days left of service.
• Fully developed claims: You have one (1) year from the time of filing an initial claim to supply the VA with all supporting documentation.
