    VA Healthcare for Veterans with MS

    This answers the question about VA care for service and non-service connected veterans with Multiple Sclerosis.





    • If you are a Veteran with MS what benefits are you eligible for with the VA? If you had symptoms of MS in the military or within seven years after honorable discharge, you may be eligible for service-connected disability, including medical care, medications and equipment. However, eligibility for care at a VA facility is NOT contingent on a determination for service connected disability. Rather, the eligibility is based on processing of an application for medical benefits (VA Form 1010EZ). http://www.va.gov/MS/Veterans/Benefi..._Sclerosis.asp


    It's also true the the Congressional Budget Office has listed MS as one of the conditions the VA should stop providing care for, but that remains a suggestion and not an active movement.
