Our own Terry Moakley on his beginnings as a disabled veteran and “quadriplegic work-in-progress” searching for answers and how the VA’s Adapted Housing Grant helped get him started. On January 20, VetsFirst participated in the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Roundtable on Veterans Service Organization Priorities for 2010. During the roundtable, VetsFirst had the opportunity to present our current public policy priorities. The VA’s new Expedited Claims Adjudication Program may be a smoke and mirrors illusion that clouds the actual backlog of claims for disability compensation, pension and other veterans’ benefits. VA will begin accepting claims for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits while concerned vet groups monitor the process and the progress. Certain disabled vets may receive $250 under the new economic stimulus legislation recently signed into law by President Obama. Veterans still burned over 35 year old fire that left millions of service records in ashes. Some history on this disaster and some tips on how to revive your records. Veterans with conventional home loans now have new options for refinancing to a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed home loan. Some things that should not be forgotten often drop from the radar over time. To a great extent the Veterans Administration Prosthetic Service Card is one of those things. Once issued to eligible veterans with each prosthetic device, it has now become a rare find indeed. New VA regulations will ease the process for Veterans seeking VA compensation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Since September 1980, an individual who enlists in the military for the first time must have completed a minimum period of service to be eligible for certain VA benefits. |
