If you had to come up with a list of Government mandated Veteran benefits that 'ALL' Veterans are entitled too, Could you? I could only come up with the following. VA Health, VA Loan, on post privileges and the GI Bill, even though it can be used before you get your Veteran Status.

I treat Veterans benefits like a disease. I only know of those I have or have used: VA home loan guarantee, VA education benefits (paid OJT).
The benefits I appreciate most isn't government mandated or connected to the government connected: Association with other veterans (formally and informally) as well as membership in USAA (insurance, banking, brokerage services, etc.) Thank God I don't have to deal with commercial banks...

SSG Adam Reed You make me look. I thought I mentioned that USAA wasn't connected to the government and I did. Still, I consider it one of the best benefits I earned by serving.

On post? I think that's limited to retirees only. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to go on base.
You are also entitled to a military funeral, at a national cemetery, or a one time death benefit (about six thousand dollars last I looked) for internment at a cemetery if your choice.

Retirees & Recipients of the MOH are the only ones with guaranteed Commissary/Exchange privileges. For the last dozen years or so a bill has come up about extended it to the veteran community as a whole, but it keeps getting shifted to committee for further research (whether it is economically feasible).

That's what I thought. The commissary and px aren't that big of a loss, but clothing sales, the gym (even if I had to pay), access to museums.
Honestly, I'd be happy with just the museums.

I am 100% disabled service connected and have been trying to understand what and how this works for mine. I need assistance to travel and the VA said a few months back they can't believe I have lived this long. So I would like to be taken to see some things before it is to late. Some cruises offer discounts to 100% disabled veterans but only if during certain yrs in service. So yes it would be nice to have a list of what, who where and how. Thanks for asking the question.
