Benefits

For years, Veterans have returned home with invisible scars—illnesses and conditions caused by exposure to toxic substances. The passage of the PACT Act (Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics) marked a transformative step in addressing care gaps Veterans were facing after returning home from combat.

It’s important for Veterans and their families to know that the VA is here to help in the wake of a disaster.

Veterans often have questions about VA services and benefits. Whether they have recently exited military service or have been separated for years, VA is here to help Veterans navigate benefit entitlements and take an active role in their health care.

It might look official—and even include the VA seal or logo—but unless the image or post links to a .gov official website (like VA.gov or USAJobs.gov) or official social media channels, it’s not from VA.

There are a range of VA home and community-based services to support eligible Veterans and their Caregivers.

During the holiday season it's important to remain vigilant, to protect your sensitive information, and to verify the security of websites when shopping online.
