Summarization
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is hosting Veterans' Claims Clinics for Toxic Exposure events until the end of March. The PACT Act has expanded healthcare and resources for veterans. The VA Welcome Kit can help guide veterans to the benefits and services they have earned. The VA spends $3 billion annually on consulting services, and there are demands for answers on how taxpayer dollars are responsibly spent. The VA has expanded benefits for toxic-exposed veterans, and veterans can call 877-222-8387 to check if they qualify. The VA launched a scholarship program to recruit mental health and counseling professionals to underserved facilities. There are calls to remove the exclusion of gender-affirming surgery at the VA. Veterans who smoke can quit through nicotine vaping, which is at least 95% less harmful than smoking.
