Understood and I knew the VA and military cards are totally different, just wasn't sure about the Veterans card....thanks and I will call Ft Meade Md and get one down there. I of course would go to any VA docs appt or whatever, so thats not an issue Thanks for the replies guys.

Hi, new guy here. Filed my claim in Jan 2015. It was approved a couple of weeks ago, 40% for pay, 50% overall. I am happy but will be filing a NOD and a new claim for a few issues I wasn't able to file with the initial claim as I didn't have enough evidence. So my retro pay has been put in the bank and now I can go fwd with what I mentioned about. I also received SSDI and LTD from work. I have a huge issue that would be very difficult to marry with my military time, but there are some others that should be easier. I am retired military and was wondering something. I received a call from the VA on saturday, (a strange day for a call), telling me of my medical benefits, free medical, free prescrip., etc. She was trying to get me to make an appt at a local VA clinic but I don't really need to see a VA doc for regular care as I have my own PCP and specialists. She also said I can go to Ft Meade Md to get my Veterans ID card with my disability on it. I have a retired ID card, do I still need a Veterans card? I guess if it has my rating on it I prob should.
