A recent U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Inspector General report has revealed that VA mistakes in disability benefit claims processing cost $100 million to $250 million from May 2022 to April 2023, with most of the mistakes resulting in underpayment of benefits to Veterans. The report noted that about 75% of claims for a 100% disability rating that auditors reviewed were improperly processed. It also found that a large percentage of Veterans were required to undergo additional medical exams that were unnecessary to support their claims. This highlights once again the need for Veterans to have access to private benefit services to help them navigate the VA’s troubled claims process.

Last Friday, we had the honor of sponsoring the U.S.VETS - Las Vegas Veteran Stand Down at the World Market Center. This event, organized by U.S. VETS Las Vegas, is dedicated to providing crucial support and resources to veterans who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness. It's a powerful coming together of various organizations, volunteers, and service providers to offer comprehensive services and essential resources like healthcare, job assistance, housing support, legal aid, and basic necessities. The goal is nothing short of transforming the lives of veterans in need under one roof in a single day. #VBGforVets #Veterans #SupportingLocalCommunities
