Veterans get a $100/Month from Social Security. It isn't automatic you do have to sign up. You have to be 62. There is a cutoff date. Check with your Social Security office.
Didn't do me any good.
All I can say is sign up for your medical Benefits Get your check ups and see a social worker,I was just diagnosed as having PTSD 2 weeks ago

Enrolled two weeks ago...... four years of active duty with the Marines and I qualify for zero benefits. I guess if one makes more than 35K per year, you're SOL. This doesn't bother me too much but never, ever getting Veterans Day off really gets under my skin, especially when I know that millions of people who never served get the day off every year. Guess that's just one of those things I'll never understand.

Thanks guys for your advice!I had a change of income for the worse and was able to get medical care the following year until my situation improved. So it's good you are enrolled. Were you at Lejune for basic? I see that qualifies for enhanced eligibility between certain years if you were there for 30 days http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/apply/veterans.asp
I talked my dad into getting enrolled and now he can get medical care since his only income is social security now that he retired.
