VA Loan Updates

The men and women discharged after Iraqi Freedom will receive the same veterans benefits usually associated with the GI Bill Home Loan guarantees, Educational Assistance, Disability Compensation if they qualify and Survivor Benefits. Iraqi Freedom veterans will also receive one important benefit not available at the time of Desert Storm.

Under rules that went into effect last year, everyone who served in the combat zone will be eligible for two years of free health care from the VA without having to prove that a medical problem is connected to military service. This new benefit is an outgrowth of the VA’s experience with Gulf War illnesses after the first Gulf War and Agent Orange after the Vietnam War. It will increase the chances that VA health care workers can detect early any unusual health care problems that develop among Iraqi veterans.
