[QUOTE="cktad, post: 1804313, member: 2521"] You don't have to have 10% disability or higher, meet any income criteria, be a former POW, or have received a Purple Heart to get Dept. of VA photo ID card, the one they issue you at the VA health clinic, if you are an honorably discharged Gulf War Vet (2 Aug 1990-11Nov 1998). I am a Vietnam Vet and I got one when I signed up for benefits and had no disability and my income was higher that $30,000. You go to the orientation at the VA clinic and after the orientation they issue the photo ID. There are 8 priority groups with priority group 6 being the one you qualify for as a war vet [url]http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/resources/priority_groups.asp[/url]. Lowes and all the other places accept this card. You also don't have to use the VA clinic for health care if you don't want to after you get the ID card but why not? Just call them and they will help you and answer any questions 1-877-222-8387. I am now serviced connected and they issued me a new ID that states that and I'm now priority category 2. BTW, I'm reading this from my new Veterans Heath Benefits Book that I just got in the mail. [/QUOTE]
