DAV FL Chapter 16 November 16th Meeting Reminder

November 13 Golden Corral Military Appreciation Night Lake Buena Vista

All World War II veterans are now eligible for no-cost health care, medical services and nursing home care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the agency announced Friday in advance of Veterans Day.

These veterans, who number fewer than 120,000, according to data published Thursday by the Pew Research Center, will no longer have to make copayments or pay enrollment fees or monthly premiums, regardless of their disability ratings or priority group in the VA health system.

VA officials announced several new initiatives to improve health care and expanded several programs to draw in more veterans after a record-breaking year of providing health care and benefits to veterans -- largely the result of the PACT Act, which added hundreds of thousands of new beneficiaries to VA rolls.

The VA was required by the 2022 Cleland-Dole Act to provide the no-cost care to those who served between Dec. 7, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946.

"These members of the Greatest Generation answered the call to serve when our nation -- and the world -- needed them most. Now, it's our job to serve them in every way that we can," VA Under Secretary for Health Dr. Shereef Elnahal said in a statement Friday.

The department plans to reach out by phone and mail to encourage WWII veterans who aren't currently enrolled in VA care to apply, officials said. According to the VA, those veterans will be able to keep any private providers, Medicare and most other insurance they have if they enroll.

Officials described VA care as "the best, most-affordable health care in America for veterans," adding that those who get their care from the department "have better health outcomes than non-enrolled veterans," based on reviews of studies published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

With those benefits in mind, the department launched a new national advertising campaign Friday that is designed to bring more veterans into its fold. The $5 million campaign, "What You Earned," will focus on the cost comparisons of VA care, education benefits, home loans and burial benefits, according to officials.

The campaign, which will go out on television, print, radio, social media, billboards and public transit advertisements, is the next step in what the department called its "aggressive efforts” to bring in new veterans.

A similar awareness campaign launched last year on the PACT Act resulted in veterans seeking appointments and applying for benefits at record numbers. In fiscal 2023, the number of appointments rose by 2.6%, while claims applications were up 39% from 2022, with 2.4 million filed.

"All too often, veterans don't know about the full scope of the health care and benefits they've earned through their service to our nation," VA Secretary Denis McDonough said in a statement Friday. "The goal of this campaign is to change that. We want to show veterans and their families -- in the most tangible terms possible -- how VA can help them afford to stay healthy, go to school, get a job, buy a home, and more."

For Veterans Day, McDonough was scheduled to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia.

In other announcements, the VA expanded a program that reimburses families who lived at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, from 1952 to 1987 for health care expenses, to include Parkinson's disease.

During a press call with reporters Thursday, Elnahal described the absence of Parkinson's from a list of diseases that are covered by the Camp Lejeune Family Member Program as a gap that needed to be covered. Parkinson's is an illness that is presumed by the VA to be linked to the water contamination at the Marine Corps base for veterans' health services and disability compensation.

The risk of Parkinson's is 70% higher for veterans who were stationed at Camp Lejeune from Aug. 1, 1953, to Dec. 31, 1987, when the water supply was contaminated with industrial solvents, dry cleaning fluid and other toxic chemicals -- the result of years of improper dumping and waste management.

"Veterans and their families deserve no-cost health care for the conditions they developed due to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune," Elnahal said in a statement.

Finally, the VA also announced a pilot medical residency program to expand health care services in rural areas, as well as reservations and other underserved areas.

Under the program, the VA will fund the salaries and benefits of at least 100 physicians who will rotate to non-VA medical facilities run by tribal organizations, the Indian Health Service, the Defense Department and other health centers.

The VA will work with academic institutions to begin offering the residencies in 2025.

What to Expect When Filing a PACT Act Claim
The PACT Act gives millions of U.S. military veterans the potential to receive Department of Veterans Affairs health-care and disability compensation, based on their presumed exposure to toxins during their time in the service. The law newly deems more than 300 medical conditions connected to military service if the veteran served in a certain place at a certain time.

Unlike past legislation, the PACT Act's "presumptive" aspect "takes the onus off the veteran" to prove that a toxic exposure took place during military service and led to a given condition, Steve Miska, the PACT Act's transitional executive director, told Military.com.

"That is a game changer in terms of how veterans historically have had to file a claim," Miska said. "Not only did they have to prove that those conditions were manifesting, but they also had to prove the service connection."

According to VA officials, the average time to process a PACT Act claim was aout 148 days, and the department was in the process of hiring 15,000 new claims processors when the act reached its first birthday on Aug. 10, 2023.

Here's what potential beneficiaries can expect during the PACT Act application process:

Filing Form 21-526EZ Starts the Process, and the VA Will (Try to) Gather Evidence
The VA "has a duty to assist," explained Kaitlin Richards, assistant director in the VA's Office of Policy and Oversight. That means that once a veteran files the VA's initial Form 21-526EZ for disability compensation, VA processors will then track down the evidence of past toxic exposure.

"Usually the Social Security number is what connects us to be able to access their records," Richards said. The VA will "pull all of their personnel records to show that they served in one of those territories" covered in the PACT Act, as well as service treatment records that show medical care received while in uniform.

If the veteran received medical care outside the military or VA at a non-government hospital or clinic, VA Form 21-4142 authorizes VA workers to go to those providers and try to track down those records as well.

"It does fall back on the veteran to ultimately provide them to us if we're not able to obtain them, but we do go out on their behalf to collect those records," Richards said.

She recommended that veterans just go ahead and "complete their [Form] 21-526EZ" and let the VA do its records search. If anything's missing, the VA will go back to the veterans to ask if they have it.

You Can Provide Records Up Front, but You Don't Have To
Providing evidence isn't required when filing a claim but can be "helpful right up front," Richards said.

"If they want to send to us their medical records, if they want to send a diagnosis, if they have a copy of their DD-214, we'll take that information up front," she explained. "We send it to our scanning vendors, they scan it, we put it in our system, and we'll have it."

You'll Likely Need a VA Medical Exam
Scheduling a VA medical exam was one part of the process that tended to take the longest, VA officials told Military.com in August.

An exam may not be necessary in certain obvious cases, such as "if we see that they have active cancer, we may be able to evaluate it based off of the records that we have," Richards said. But for the most part, veterans will have to present themselves for an exam before the VA will award disability compensation.

"We need them to report to evaluate what that condition looks like" in order to evaluate it in the context of the VA's disability rating system, Richards said.

More Claims Are Being Approved Than in the Past
Veterans and survivors had filed more than 400,000 PACT Act claims as of August 2023, with an approval rate of 78.6%, Miska said.

"That is much higher, historically, than have been granted. Our historic approval rate for burn-pit exposure claims is about 25%," Miska said. "This just shows you how much more flexibility the law has given us to process claims on behalf of veterans that have been exposed to toxic substances."

If You're Still Not Ready to File, Declaring Your Intent Will Hold Your Effective Date
Because the effective date of your benefits likely will be tied to the date you apply, if for some reason you still feel like you're not ready to file, you can formally notify the VA of your intent to do so, and you'll then have a year to get the actual application together.

"It preserves their date," Richards said, "and it gives them the rest of that time to collect any of that additional evidence."

Plan for the Turnaround to Take Half a Year
After a veteran first files a PACT Act claim, the VA sends out a letter within 5-7 business days acknowledging receipt of the application.

Collecting evidence from an outside physician can take as long as 90 days, Richards said.

While the turnaround time ultimately depends on individual circumstances, the average in August was about 148 days from application to determination.

'No Matter What: File'
The VA's primary message is that veterans "don't have to read through those nuances or find those diagnoses," Richards said. "Honestly, the first thing to tell anybody ... is just to say, 'No matter what: File.' That is what we have been telling everybody. ...

"No matter what, they should file for the claim, and when VA has their paperwork in front of us, we can look at the whole record, we can look at the diagnosis, and we can make that determination and give that decision to them," she added. "Just file so that we can look at all of the specifics and help determine if they are service connected or not."

Tips Before Heading Out to Claim Your Free Veterans Day Meal or Discount
• Review the official site information and rules before heading out for a free Veterans Day meal or military discount. While we source our entries from official information, some businesses may accidentally list a prior year’s promotion.
• Be sure to bring proof of military service, such as a military ID card or a DD-214. Keep in mind, acceptable documentation may vary between companies.
• Pay attention to the dates on the Veterans Day offer as some offers may apply to Veterans Day, the entire weekend or another day.
• Free Veterans Day meals offers are dine-in only for most restaurants.
• Some restaurants and retailers may offer deals to veterans, active-duty, National Guard and reserve service members. Some may also extend the offer to military family members. Verify your eligibility for each offer.
• Tip your servers on Veterans Day. While your meal may be free, their bills are not. Servers work hard during busy Veterans Day promotions. Consider tipping the original cost of the meal, if you’re in a position to do so.
• Deals for restaurants and retailers with franchise locations may only be available at participating locations. Individual franchisees may dictate their own discount polices, including military discounts and Veterans Day deals.
