Hello there, I would like to know more about VA benefits for service members.
Are you serving on active duty in the United States uniformed services?
Yes, I am a member of the National Guard.
In that case you may be eligible for VA benefits both during service and after separation or retirement.

Great. One more thing, I suffer from hearing loss. Do you have a phone number for people who are hard of hearing?
We do. Please call TTY: 1-800-877-8339 if you have hearing loss.
I've noted that down. Well, since my last combat mission I suffer from some mental health problems and it's been really tough for me recently. Can I get some help?
Of course. If you need support for a specific mental health problem or if you re having problems sleeping or controlling your anger, we offer help in the shape of VA mental health services.
How can I sign up for these VA mental health services? My wife says I should, because I often shout in my sleep.
Simply call or walk in to any VA medical center anytime, day or night. Find your nearest VA health facility or call or walk in to any Vet Center during clinic hours.

I see. While we're at it, can you tell me about VA benefits I can use during and after service?
Of course. You can use GI Bill and other education benefits. Use our page to find out if you qualify for VA education benefits to help pay for school or training.

Alright. I mentioned before that I have trouble sleeping. Can VA health care help me with that as well?
Of course. If you need support for a specific mental health problem or if you re having problems sleeping or controlling your anger, we offer help in the shape of VA mental health services.
