Hey Veteran! In this episode we discuss the current status of the Veterans Administration (VA). We share our personal experiences with the VA and a lot of the issues we have seen firsthand. The goal of this episode was to raise some awareness on the struggles the VA has with keeping up with the demands of veterans. We would love to hear some positive outcomes you had with the VA so we can spread the word as well. Below are the links mentioned in the podcast to guide you to finding the veteran service officer (VSO) to help get you your benefits.
