Check out Military Times coverage of our recent MCON panel, “Educating Veterans About Their Disability Benefits.” The panel was moderated by VBG’s Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Public Affairs, Lisa K., a U.S. Army Veteran, and featured panelists Wesley DeMauro of JPMorgan Chase, Brandon Nivens of Salesforce, and Roger Loesch “Doc” of the USDA. ? Military Times wrote: ? “For Veterans navigating the transition from military to civilian life, securing access to earned disability benefits often becomes a complex, daunting journey… ? “Roger “Doc” Loesch … pointed out a recurring issue: Veterans often give up on their disability claims after a few setbacks. “Most veterans try… but once you hit a brick wall, you throw your hands up and say, ‘Screw it, it’s not worth it,’” he explained. This sentiment is widespread, driven by a combination of bureaucracy and emotional hurdles that prevent Veterans from persisting in their pursuit of benefits. ? “The pride, fear, and guilt that accompany the pursuit of disability benefits are significant barriers. Veterans often fear stigma or feel guilty, believing their issues aren’t “bad enough” to warrant taking resources from others. Breaking down these barriers is crucial, as Wes explained…” ? If you are a Veteran confronting these challenges, please reach out. VBG can help!

Thank you to Representative Jack Bergman (R-MI) for once again calling for accreditation reform to protect Veterans from bad actors while allowing honorable private benefit companies to continue serving Veterans. In a new oped in The Hill titled “Misplaced Priorities at the Department of Veteran Affairs Are Hurting Veterans,” Bergman writes: “First, address the backlog of claims by streamlining the claims-review process. At the same time, we need to protect veterans from predatory practices with a rigorous system of accrediting representatives who assist veterans in filing appeals of benefit claims. With accreditation, we can weed out the unscrupulous actors while still supporting the network of private organizations that have become vital allies in helping veterans navigate the system.” Well said. https://lnkd.in/gWZDyqU5 #VBGforVets #veterans #disabillitybenefits
