commissary and MWR facilities.

I posted this in Nov of 2019 and the recent VA bulletin mentioned that many veterans are unaware of it. The recent bulletin addresses commissary privileges , but it extends to PX and MWR facilities. In summary, here's who eligible;

Veterans with any service-connected disabilities documented by VA
Veterans who are Purple Heart recipients
Veterans who are former prisoners of war
Individuals assessed, approved and designated as the primary family caregivers of eligible Veterans under VA’s Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers
