Please join DAV in our support of S. 3560, the Combat Veterans Pre-Enrollment Act of 2024. This bill would authorize pre-enrollment of certain combat service members of the Armed Forces in the system of patient enrollment of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system during the 180-day period before their separation from service, giving them access to care from the first day of separation. Currently, transitioning service members must wait until they have left service and received their official separation paperwork to apply for VA health care. That process can take several months, creating a period of time where veterans do not have access to the health care benefits they have earned. This period is of particular concern for combat veterans who might struggle with injuries or illnesses that are seen and unseen, and may or may not have been diagnosed during their service. This legislation would give our warfighters immediate access to VA health care. Studies show the transition period can be a high-risk period for suicide. Giving combat veterans access to much-needed mental health care can help mitigate the risk.

Latest PACT Act numbers. Can you see the NUMBER ONE reason for denial on VA Claims? No Diagnosis. Make sure that as a Soldier or Veteran, you go through your basics of medical care. 1. Diagnosis. 2. Medical Care Evidence (treatment and medication history). 3. Established while on Active Duty or Line of Duty for Reserves and National Guard. Adjacent to this; Worsen through service or developed after commitment to service has ended. Also, look at the number of pending PACT Act and non-PACT Act claims, add them and you may see why claims are delayed. #VA #veteransaffairs #Veteranlaw #Military #Healthcare #wecare

Coach at Just4Veterans | USMC Veteran | Empowering veterans to secure the benefits they earned through dedicated support.
Many veterans face a hidden enemy after service: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD. This condition occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, leading to heartburn and discomfort. Why Veterans? Military service can increase the risk of GERD due to factors like stress, certain medications, and even physical injuries. The VA Recognizes GERD The good news is the VA understands the significant impact GERD can have on a veteran's life, even exceeding the impact of conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Veterans with GERD may qualify for disability benefits to help manage this condition. #gerd #veterancare #veteransupport

Big News for the Veteran Community: Veterans, military families, and supporters—critical updates could impact your benefits and access to care: VA Budget Shortfall: A $15 billion deficit threatens essential services. Rural Healthcare: New initiatives aim to improve care for the 4.7M veterans in rural areas. Legislative Efforts: Congress is pushing to protect benefits and secure a 2025 cost-of-living adjustment. These issues are crucial. If you feel the same, consider contacting your representative in Congress and the Senate. Let’s ensure the VA is properly funded and held accountable. Letter Template: Dear [Representative/Senator’s Name], I’m a [veteran/supporter] in [Your District/State], and I’m concerned about issues impacting veterans: 1. VA Budget Shortfall: The $15 billion deficit at the VA risks vital services. Congress must act to ensure veterans receive the support they’ve earned. 2. Rural Healthcare: 4.7 million veterans in rural areas need better access to healthcare. I support efforts to expand these services and urge you to advocate for them. 3. Legislative Action: Please continue to champion initiatives that protect veterans' benefits, including the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment. Veterans deserve our full support. Thank you for your attention to these matters. Sincerely, [Your Name] #Veterans #VA #Healthcare #Congress #SupportVeterans #VeteranBenefits #Legislation

There are moments in life where we have the opportunity to be on the right side of an issue before it becomes normative. This not only requires leaders to be champions on an issue, but everyone needs to default to logic and compassion and not simply look at policy for a reason not to do something. Protecting our uniformed citizens from respiratory illnesses is one of these moments. We can help protect those who protect us with a simple pocket respirator like those provided by the Canadian company Ventus Respiratory Technologies. Invest now, protect our warriors, and lets pay them back for their service with a healthy future. Thanks for being a champion on this issue, Arjun. https://lnkd.in/eJeWSf_A #canadianarmedforces #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #toxicexposure #militarymedicine

Respectfully, Your wait times are out of control. The bad actors and their actions as highlighted by the OIG have added to these wait times. Recommendations: Train and insist that your scheduling staff to automatically refer all appointments that cannot be scheduled within 30 days of the date #veterans attempt to schedule appointments. This simple action aligns with the spirit of the Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act.
It's my responsibility to provide the safest, highest-quality care to our #veterans and offer the best environment possible to our employees who provide that care. Below is my message to our team at the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System following two separate reports from Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General. Their investigations will help ensure Veterans, employees, and stakeholders have full confidence in the quality and integrity of the leaders and care delivery provided.
