I am a "Korean Conflict" veteran with a ten percent disability, as well as a "Cal Vet". Does anyone know how I can find out what type of educational benefits I am entitled to? Thanks,

Kavanaugh

Thank you for posting your question at the Ask Me Help Desk!

First of all your state entitlements will depend on what state you are in. The following website may provide you with some help in that area. I would also suggest contacting your local veteran's affairs office, oftentimes located at a government center found in your county.

The following site will provide some information about federal benefits.

The types of benefits that you are entitled to often depend on the conflicts you are involved in and the length of time you were involved in said conflict. If you contact someone, you should be prepared to show a copy of your DD-214. A veteran's benefits representative can tell you everything based on that. Hopefully you know where it is.

I hope this was helpful. Thank you for your service.
