Supreme Court hears case on retroactive benefits for disabled veterans
The Supreme Court heard arguments last week in a case to determine whether veterans with disabilities can collect decades' worth of retroactive benefits from the VA. A federal statute allows veterans to receive months' worth of retroactive benefits if they file within one year of becoming disabled. This Supreme Court case will decide whether to give
veterans leeway on time limits if their disabilities prevented them from filing for VA benefits.
Advocates want the VA to expand abortion access to all vets and dependents
A group of advocates is pushing VA leaders to expand abortion access to all pregnant veterans and dependents eligible for health care services, arguing such a move is within the department's legal power. In September, VA officials announced plans to offer abortion access to
veterans and eligible dependents in cases of rape, incest, and pregnancies that endanger the life or health of an individual.
Military sexual assault victims could get back benefits under plan
Victims of military sexual assault could be eligible for tens of thousands of dollars in retroactive disability benefits under a proposal by House lawmakers. The new legislation would provide benefits back to the date of separation for individuals who are awarded disability payments for injuries stemming from sexual trauma while actively serving.
You have a significant emotional or physical injury associated with your military service. You think you may qualify for 100% or permanent and total disability, but you don’t understand the difference between the two ratings. Essentially, the
difference is whether the VA believes your condition may improve.
Did you live or work at Camp Lejeune before 1987 and now have a health condition? You may be eligible to take legal action and seek a financial settlement from the U.S. government.
