Quick Answers: Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs is the agency that deals with veterans benefits. These include life insurance, service connected and non-service connected disability, health care benefits and grave markers. Health care benefits include insurance, hospitals, nursing home and at home assisted care.

It has been six months since I have heard anything from the VA on my claim. What should I do? Can you call and make them give me my benefits?

You should contact your veterans representative (DAV or other) who is helping with your claim and see if they have an update. We would also be happy to send an inquiry asking for a status update.
