VeTALKX: 2024 Veterans Town Hall. Watch Now!

I do not show my Award Letter as proof of VA Income. I show my bank statement deposit VA credit instead. How do I get the slanderous statement removed from my Award Letter? I may have the disability rating for the claim now, but the Award Letter is still making me fell assaulted every time I need to use it. How can I get this changed. When is the relief from my Sexual Assault ever going to end.

Has anyone ever received an answer to any of their questions here, from someone that can do something concerning their question(s)?

Veterans Affairs is transitioning away from multiple VA websites into one entry point, VA.gov (the new digital front door). This will allow all websites and mobile application features to be managed through one entry point. VA.gov is secure with two login credentials (ID.me and Login.gov) that have multi-factor authentication for enhanced security of Veteran personally identifiable information (PII).

My HealtheVet is also transitioning behind VA.gov. The familiar features will still be available. For assistance, please contact My HealtheVet Technical Support from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (CT), Monday through Friday, at 1- [login to see] for immediate support.

The Whitehouse Hotline is also available 24/7 by dialing [login to see] . They listen to Veterans' experiences, identify trends in Veteran feedback, and resolve concerns about their health, benefits, and services anywhere in the agency. VA also created the 1-800-MyVA411 contact center, which is available 24/7. The MyVA411 contact center information is linked on the VA.gov website.

Thank you for your feedback. We continuously strive to improve Veterans' access to VA benefits and services.

This is so true, I was injured in basic,Taken to the hospital via ambulance because I could even stand up.I was diagnosed with 4 different conditions and It was recommended by the attending physician that I be discharged.I was discharge with the injuries with no medical benefits to treat the injuries. I only found out 36 years later after requesting my C-File that I was being denied because it Navy Doctor wrote in the notes that I had a preexisting conditon and injury from playing football in junior high school and sports in high school. The problem is I never played sports in my life, and on my entrance physical there is no injuries or illness. No one wants to do their job and read the proof that I have provided that VA has had in their possession since 2006.

Apparently this is not the case everywhere. I've had exams paid for. One that VES stuck it's nose into, withheld exam results, the exam was a sham and I spent all of maybe 2 min. with a doctor. Took place in Chiang Mai, when it did not even to take place as the VA had told me to file a claim based on what an American doc had written in Bangkok (VA approved) previously. When I continued to complain, my claim 'disappeared'.

VA contracts with 2 vendors to provide C&P exams to Veterans living in 44 countries outside the United States. For Veterans living outside these 44 locations, if an in-person examination is needed, the vendor can locate a health care provider in that country to complete the exam(s). In addition, vendors may work with Veterans to complete C&P exams via telehealth when possible. If all the above options have been exhausted, the vendor will advise the Veteran that they can submit the DBQ themselves, completed by their own provider, and the vendor will reimburse the Veteran once they submit the reimbursement form. This allows the C&P process to remain at no cost to the Veteran. Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 70, provides authorization under 38 USC 111 for VA to make payments only for travel expenses incurred in the United States. The United States is defined as each of the several states, Territories, and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

All Veterans, regardless of length of service or discharge status, are entitled to free mental health support from the Defense Health Agency's inTransition program (https://health.mil/Military-Health-Topics/Centers-of-Excellence/Psychological-Health-Center-of-Excellence/inTransition). inTransition is a free, confidential program that offers specialized coaching and assistance for active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, Veterans and retirees who need access to mental health care. inTransition coaches are licensed mental health care providers who understand military culture.

CWO3 Robert Fong, they aren't.

There are claims that the VA's Financial Services Center (FSC)* processes on behalf of ICE to pay for medical services provided to illegal migrants, but the VA provides neither the funds for the claims nor resources (personnel, treatment facilities, etc.) for those medical services. In fact, the VA is paid by ICE to processes those claims.

The VA's FSC is used by multiple federal agencies to provide financial accounting services and products, but that is nothing more than another federal organization paying the VA to do the administrative processing. The costs to the VA for doing this is fully reimbursable (it doesn't come out of the VA's funding) and in 2022 about $4.1 billion* was transferred to the VA from other agencies to provide these services (ICE paid about $94 million to the VA to process medical claims).

The claims the FSC pays for ICE have nothing to do with the challenges of being seen at the VA by a veteran nor the backlog of disability claims at the VA.

Disgusting propaganda against innocent people.

Can you provide the complete name of any illegal border crosser who was treated at the va, when, and at which VA? If so, I'll look into it. If not, it's possible you've fallen prey to false news.

I agree, I injured back while on the job. Sent to sick call, given parafon forte, not even an x-ray, and told to go back to work. I was told that since I did not have any 'civilian' doccumentation, even though it was in my record, I did not qualify....yet some yahoo can injury their elbow while playing basketball or hurt their back at the gym can get 100%....doesn't quite seem right does it?

I totally understand what you are asking. There is only my sister and I, she has none of the medical conditions that I have. Our family history has none of what I have for medical problems. I didn't have any of these medical problems before I joined the Army.

Anytime you believe that you have a medical condition that was caused by your military service, VA encourages you to file a claim. You can file a claim online via VA.GOV or, in person at any regional office, or with an accredited representative. If you intend to file a claim for a condition that was previously denied, specifically called a supplemental claim, new and relevant evidence is required. You can also submit lay evidence to support your claim. Lay evidence is written testimony by you or someone who knows about your condition or related events. Anyone can provide lay evidence. This person doesn’t need to have any specific training or education. We’ll review lay evidence along with any other evidence you submit.
