Veterans beware! You should never be charged to apply for disability / VA benefits. If you need help, seek out a Veterans Service Organization or other accredited agency - do not fall for these types of scams! hawaiinewsnow.com/2023/07/30/aar…
Thank you, Sir! Veterans and survivors: don't wait, apply TODAY for the care and benefits you've earned at VA.gov/PACT.

Minority veterans are all too often victims of discrimination & harassment at the VA. Proud to stand with advocates today to call on the VA to combat these barriers to equal health care by implementing & enforcing ACA Sec. 1557 rulemaking.
Today, our clients @MinorityVets, along with 13 other veterans and LGBTQI+ rights orgs, filed a petition requesting that @DeptVetAffairs promulgate regulations under Section 1557 of the ACA enforcing the provision’s prohibition of discrimination in federal health care programs.
