20% Disabled Id Card?

[ktm rider]

Hello,

I have searched and searched for an answer to this question but there just doesn't seem to be one out there so I will ask here.

How do I get some kind of ID card proving 20% disability? Everytime I try to use a veterans discount for something they ask for an ID card. I am talking about trivial things of course like discounts at Lowe's for instance.

Buck I do have claims pending..

Do I just go to my local VA clinic? (About 45 miles away) Or do I go to the VARO or VAMC, which is in Houston, and apply for a card? I got the little card in the mail a while back for the Veterans Choice Card Temporary Program, but that's it other than the eligibility paperwork, but nothing else has been mailed.

Guess I just need to make a trip. Which place to do y'all recommend I go to obtain the VIC card?

Mark,

I got my most recent (2014) VA Identification card at my VA outpatient clinic. If you are already in the VA healthcare system, I am surprised you do not already have a VA ID card.

As for as prices at the Commissary

We went to Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport/Bossier City,La (Where they took the President during 911)

Anyway we didn't find the prices on Food Products to be cheaper than Wal-mart other than the no tax.

It basically was not worth the trip from Dallas.

Wife was disappointed.

To be honest, I really didn't think I would qualify for regular VA healthcare, outside of treatment for my service-connected issues, tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear. I'm still in the middle of a NOD, and have just been receiving paperwork periodically from the VA regarding healthcare, including the recent card.

However, I finally got access to my "Blue Button" health information, and notice that in my VA Demographics under Means Test Status, it says, "No Longer Required". I am assuming that I must have it. I'll try to get to the nearest VA outpatient clinic and go in to check and see what is what, and see if I can get a card issued. It would be a great bit of peace of mind to know that I will have health coverage of some sort at least. Thanks again!

Just go to the eligiblity office of your VAMC and get the new id card as it will show "sc" on there. also contact your state veterans office some states are now offering veterans cards with the disablities listed on there.
