Q882: Recently got rated 100% for IU. Am I now eligible for a retired military ID card? If so, what is the quickest way to get ID card?
A1: Your Answer: No, you won't be able to get a "retired" ID card but you can get an ID card. If you'll call the 800-827-1000 and request a "commissary letter" you can make an appointment with the ID card/DEERS section and they will hook you up! (DS) 6/26/23

A3: Disabled veterans evaluated at a combined evaluation of 100% or due to 100% Individual unemployability (IU), with an Honorable discharge, are authorized DoD installation access by being issued a DoD Uniformed Services ID card. See DD Form 2765. VA ID department can get you started. (TJ) 6/26/23
A4: In your papers it should have told you, you could get an ID to go on any base. Plus, it should have instructions. I did when I get 100% Unemploybility. (RI) 6/28/23
A5: Obtaining an ID card for 100% service-connected veterans is a straightforward process. By visiting a VA regional office or medical facility, and providing the necessary documentation, you can receive your ID card and access the benefits and services that you have earned. (BA) 6/28/23
