Hey Veterans
Don’t be like this story….
“Where is my Disability check”?
You are responsible to follow up on all of your applications. At a presentation being made at a pre-planning seminar for funeral arrangements there was a section about benefits available to veterans. One of the attendees commented that he was receiving healthcare from the VA but had never received disability benefits (monthly check). Five years before a Veterans Service Officer had helped him obtain the medical benefits and he hadn’t heard back regarding his disability claim. He said that he didn’t want to bother them! It is their job to help you and it is your job to follow up with them regularly until you are satisfied with what you are receiving from the VA. Every veteran needs to stay on top of their claims. If you need help filing a claim or appealing a claim go to the How Can I Get Help section and call one of the Veteran Service offices listed.
