After a brief internet search, I don't know a whole lot more about it than I did before, but I understand that applying for VA health care benefits is a complicated process. I don't think you can just sign up for it yourself, I think you have to see somebody who guides you through the maze of paperwork. Your eligibility depends on a multitude of factors like where and when you served, where you live now, and how much money you make. I also think you can't just go to any doctor you want, you have to go to a VA hospital or clinic. There was some talk a few years ago about establishing a VA clinic in Cheboygan because our local vets had to travel a long way to the nearest one. The clinic ended up being established in Mackinaw City instead of Cheboygan, which is not so bad I guess.
I heard something about that mortgage benefit when we were building our first house, but I didn't understand how it worked and, looking back on it, I don't think the guy who was advising me did either. We ended up borrowing the money from my grandmother and refinancing through a bank a few years later.
I am reluctant to click on Uncle Ken's link because it has the word "Aljazeera" in it. Isn't that the news media outfit that's run by a bunch of Islamic terrorists?
Speaking of links, here's another one about the Caravan:
