The VA offers travel benefits under the Beneficiary Travel Program: Mileage and Common Carrier reimbursement, and special mode transportation to any VA authorized appointment.

   If you’re traveling for a VA authorized health care appointment, including appointments for Comp & Pen exams, VA may reimburse you for travel costs, including mileage ($0.415 per mile), tolls, parking and pre-authorized meals and lodging up to 50% of the government employee rate, receipts should be provided to allow for processing, if you’re eligible.  Your caregiver may be eligible for reimbursement as well.

  For more information about how to file for travel reimbursement, visit VA’s beneficiary travel webpage at VA.gov or the Beneficiary Travel Self Service System (BTSSS).  Additionally, seek assistance from your local VA Clinic in Supply, VA Medical Clinic, Wilmington, or your Brunswick County VSO, Bolivia.
