Quick-Start Guides

Step-by-step resources for navigating your benefits

Welcome to your VA benefits journey. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to access and maximize your earned benefits.

  1. Create your VA.gov account
  2. Gather your military service records (DD-214)
  3. Complete the eligibility verification process
  4. Explore available benefits categories
  5. Submit applications for relevant programs

Pro tip: Start with healthcare enrollment and disability claims first, as these often have the most immediate impact.

Transitioning from military to civilian life is a significant change. Here are the critical documents and resources you need immediately after separation.

  • → DD-214: Your most important document. Get multiple certified copies.
  • → Healthcare Enrollment: You have 5 years of free VA healthcare after separation.
  • → Education Benefits: GI Bill benefits expire after 15 years – don’t wait to use them.
  • → TAP Resources: Review your Transition Assistance Program materials and contact information.

Understanding how VA disability compensation and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) work together is crucial for maximizing your benefits.

Key Points:

  • VA disability is tax-free and doesn’t affect SSDI eligibility
  • You can receive both VA and SSDI benefits simultaneously
  • SSDI has income limits for work – VA disability does not
  • 100% VA rating allows you to work without restrictions
  • Document all medical conditions thoroughly for your claims

Important: Consult with a Veterans Service Officer (VSO) for personalized guidance on your specific situation.
