Recent changes make more vets eligible for prescription drug benefits -- regardless of income
If you are a Veteran and have been ineligible for prescription drug assistance from the VA, you may now qualify. Effective June 1, 2009, you may be eligible for assistance regardless of your income. In the past many Veterans were ineligible because they "made too much money", but this eligibility requirement has recently been eliminated.
There are different levels of co-pay depending on your income, but your worst case scenario would be a co-pay of $8.00 per 30-day prescription. If you are currently on Medicare or your current health plan has a higher co-pay, it may be advantageous for you to apply for this benefit (it's easy to apply). If you are currently covered by Medicare, this could eliminate the "doughnut hole" coverage gap.
