One
of the biggest ironies in America now is the number of veterans who
are living day to day without benefits from the government. Perhaps
one reason this is happening is the lack of information about
benefits, something a veteran advocate or veterans
disability lawyer
could discuss accurately.
If
you serve, then you deserve
There
is a misconception that only veterans who were wounded in combat
and/or lost limbs are eligible for benefits. The truth is: every
veteran who has rendered service and was honorably discharged is
eligible. As long as injuries were incurred during their term of
service (combat-related or not), the veterans are qualified.
Application
is as easy as point and click
Some
vets are under the impression they are required to visit a VA
facility to apply for benefits for pension or compensation. Actually
the specific forms are available online together with instructions on
where to send them. It is recommended that veterans who are unsure
should seek assistance for accomplishing the forms correctly.
They
simply aren’t aware
Call
it a communications breakdown or a case of misinformation. There are
thousands of veterans who are uninformed regarding their benefits for
national service. All veterans are encouraged to register with the VA
Medical System to determine what they are qualified for.
To
those veterans already in the system and enjoying benefits, a
grateful nation humbly requests that you help reach out to fellow
veterans who need assistance or simply refer them to the nearest
veterans’ assistance effort.
