In this episode of Mail Call, we explain how a VA-accredited Veterans Service Officer, or VSO, can help Veterans and their families understand VA benefits, gather evidence, file claims, and communicate with VA and why Veterans should make sure anyone helping with a VA claim is properly accredited. If you or someone in your family served and doesn't know what VA benefits may be available, this is a great place to start. See ADDITIONAL INFORMATION below to learn more.

If VA assigned you a 0% disability rating, don't assume your claim was denied. A denied claim and a 0% (non-compensable) disability rating are two very different outcomes. In this episode of The SITREP, we explain what a 0% rating really means, why service connection matters, the VA health care and prescription benefits that may be available for your service-connected condition, when you can file for an increased evaluation, and how a future increase to 10% or higher could unlock monthly tax-free disability compensation and additional VA benefits. If you've ever wondered whether your 0% rating has any value, this video is for you.

Heading to the airport? TSA has introduced dedicated military lanes and front-of-the-line service at more than 30 airports across the country, making it easier for many Veterans, service members, and military families to get to the security checkpoint. In this episode of the SITREP, we explain who may be able to use these new military lanes, how front-of-the-line service works, why it's different from TSA PreCheck, and which Veterans may qualify for a TSA PreCheck enrollment fee waiver. Before your next trip, be sure to check whether your airport participates so you know what to expect before you arrive.

In this Mail Call episode, we explain what the federal Stolen Valor Act actually covers—and just as importantly, what it doesn't. You'll learn why simply lying about military service is generally not enough to violate the federal law, when a false claim may become a crime, and who to contact if you believe someone is violating the law or committing fraud. We'll also discuss when to contact the FBI, when to report suspected fraud involving VA benefits to the VA Office of Inspector General, and why it's important not to confront or investigate someone yourself.
