Tip: VA Community Care + Travel Pay

If you collect travel pay for your VA medical treatment visits, it is important to know that you can also collect travel pay for Community Care treatments. When going to your Community Care visit, ask for a work excuse. You will need to file that in conjunction with your travel voucher. If your Community Care facility is closer than your VAMC, you may receive a lower payment or no payment if it is too close to qualify. The reverse is also true. For more information about how to file this kind of travel voucher combo, please contact your VAMC's Travel department.

We get NO travel pay in the Philippines.

I would assume that the same laws that apply here in the US would also apply in the Phillipines. The laws governing travel are found in "38 CFR 70 - VHA BENEFICIARY TRAVEL UNDER 38 U.S.C. 111".
