VetsFirst believes that VBA must have the resources necessary to meet the current challenges, but the VA claims process and substantive regulations and adjudicative principles must also be reformed. For the first time in decades, Congress has allocated funding levels for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that are in line with vets organizations. Benefits for dependents of veterans are sometimes more extensive than what at first meets the eye. Don’t assume you know what they are and how to access them. In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court confronted the issue of the overwhelming impact that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has on combat veterans. VetsFirst revised membership and expanding mission includes reaching out to help more veterans than ever before. Veteran, Educate Thyself finds VetsFirst’s own Terrance Moakley reminiscing on his own days as a veteran and college student. VetsFirst opens membership to all of America’s disabled veterans, their spouses, dependent family members and survivors. Applebee’s Restaurants offers a free Veterans Day special to Vets and active duty military personnel. Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act is a milestone in the road toward timely, sufficient and predictable funding for delivering critical health care to America’s veterans. |
