More Veterans are receiving VA benefits than ever before, which presents opportunities for scammers to commit fraud against them and their families.

The PACT Act and your VA benefits
The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.
The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that we assume (or “presume”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.
Please visit the VA PACT Act webpage to help answer your questions about what the PACT Act means for you or your loved ones. You can also call us at 800-698-2411 (TTY: 711). And you can file a claim for PACT Act-related disability compensation or apply for VA health care now.
Virtual Access Site is Open
We've teamed up with the State of West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance (WVDVA) to launch Virtual Access Sites (VAS) at WVDVA benefits offices across the state of West Virginia.
The VAS provides Veterans and Claimants with a comfortable, private space equipped with internet access and the help and technology needed to meet virtually with VARO staff via a secure video connection.
If you have limited internet connectivity at home, don't feel comfortable setting up a virtual meeting by yourself, or simply don't want to take the trip to Huntington, you can drop in the WVDVA benefits offices Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm and they'll set you up in a virtual meeting with a benefits counselor at the Huntington Regional Office.
