New Benefit for Veterans Receiving Disability - jamshid666 - 09-24-2019
Effective January 1, 2020, veterans that receive disability benefits will be eligible to shop at the commissary or base exchange. You will need a VHID (Veteran's Health ID) card to gain access to the facility, so make sure you get one if you don't have it already. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/09/20/millions-more-vets-and-caregivers-are-about-get-commissary-exchange-access.html

That would be awesome wouldn't it! In addition to the commissary and PX, the change in policy is supposed to include all MWR-funded activities. So, I guess the question is whether the Class Six falls under MWR or DoD funding.
And after researching it, it appears that all Class Six functions are part of the PX program, so yes it is included! Tax free booze FTW!

Thanks for passing this along. I forwarded it to a couple family members who might be interested in this news.
