VA helps
Veterans with Parkinson's disease
If
you’re a Veteran with Parkinson’s disease, VA has specialized medical
care and financial assistance for you. Your caregivers can get help
and support through the VA Caregiver Support Program. And
you may also be eligible to participate in clinical trials and
other research opportunities.
 Lung cancer screening can save
your live
Lung
cancer may not cause symptoms until it spreads to other parts of
the body, making it more difficult to treat. If you are 50 to
80 years old, smoke tobacco or quit within the past 15 years,
or smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years, you may
qualify for a screening in VA.

help Veterans who have problems with thinking, learning and
remembering. Getting regular sleep, eating healthy, exercising
and avoiding alcohol and other substances can also help.
