I get travel Pay! I am not 100%. I get travel pay when I travel for my service connected "disability". I'm not a copy and paste kind of person but here you go....

Reimbursement for mileage or public transportation may be paid to the following:
Veterans with service-connected disabilities rated at 30% or more;
Veterans traveling for treatment of a service-connected condition;
Veterans receiving a VA pension;
Veterans traveling for scheduled compensation or pension examinations;
Veterans whose income does not exceed the maximum VA pension rate;
Mileage Reimbursement Rate: Mileage reimbursement is at 41.5 cents per mile. There is a deductible mileage amount of $3.00 one way and $6.00 per round trip. The deductible is also subject to a monthly cap of $18.00, upon reaching $18.00 in deductibles travel payments made for the remainder of that month will be free of deductible charges.The deductible mileage reimbursement can be waived if you are:
in receipt of a VA pension
traveling for a scheduled compensation and pension examination
meet certain income levels.


If you need help with your claim go to your nearest DAV they will fight for you.
