McDonough and other top VA officials have advocated for veterans to screen for potential military toxic exposure injuries and seek their due benefits.

"Took a few years to get everything finalized because the VA is so slow and they like to deny before they read everything. Woods and Woods was professional all the way. They guided me during the process and kept me updated. They won my appeal and got the IU rating. Thank you so much!"
