Are Transitioning Veterans Using the VA Benefits and Services? | Department of Veterans Affairs Open Data Portal

This project includes a pdf capture of a webpage and the underlying data for the visualizations.<br>In a continued effort to promote awareness of characteristics of the Veteran population being served by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the benefits and services provided, the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics (NCVAS) conducted a study on the two-year take-up rate of Veterans who have used at least one of the 22 benefits and services provided by VA between fiscal years 2005 to 2020. The take-up rate measures the percentage of Veterans who were eligible for a VA program and who were able to access their benefits within two years of transitioning out of military service [1]. This is a measurement of those who were eligible to apply for benefits [2]. This study does not measure whether the Veteran qualified for a specific program, since qualification differs for each benefit or service.<br><br>***Microdata: No Level of Analysis: Nation Variables Present: Yes File Layout: .csv Codebook: No Methods: Yes - <br>link: https://www.data.va.gov/stories/s/Are-Transitioning-Veterans-Using-the-VA-Benefits-a/9jtx-xawd/ Weights (with appropriate documentation): No Publications: Yes Aggregate Data: Yes
