The VA is failing our veterans by clinging to outdated science and ignoring data. Their negligence in providing access to life-saving treatments like HBOT contributes to veteran suicide. It's time to stop the excuses and intervene. #Veterans #MentalHealth #Healthcare

On Jan 8, 2020, Iran attacked Al Asad Air Base with 15 ballistic missiles. Sheltering in an inadequate indirect fire shelter, I was knocked unconscious by impact just 60 ft away, twice. The missiles struck occupied areas, damaging infrastructure. #VeteranNews #AlAsadAttack

One brazen VA counselor refused to help a veteran walk through basic employment information needed for VR&E benefits, leaving the veteran stunned. #VeteranAffairs #Accountability Watch the complete video here: youtu.be/xvywj39Su4Y?si…

Veterans have the right to record VR&E interactions. This is crucial for those with memory, processing, PTSD, or TBI issues, serving as a reasonable accommodation for accurate note-taking. #VeteranRights #VR&E Watch the complete video here: youtu.be/xvywj39Su4Y?si…

Evidence ignored? Counselor hang up? Build your record anyway. Notify. Record. Follow up. Your VR&E claim depends on it. Full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=xvywj3…

As a fellow veteran, I appreciate @RepVanOrden using that '6 bosses' analogy. He’s speaking a language we all understand: accountability.

The Magna Carta: 1 page. The Constitution: 4 pages. The VA Org Chart: A total disaster. @RepVanOrden calls for quality over quantity and real accountability in VA management. Watch the full hearing here: youtu.be/Mg--oYWNcXM #VetPolicy #Congress #Efficiency #VA

Huge respect to @repdeliaramirez for demanding transparency at the VA last week on deporting veterans. #Veterans #Accountability

Need help with a delayed claim? A congressional inquiry can work, but you MUST be specific. State the attempts to contact your counselor and their lack of response. Leave out the weeds and focus on the essential info. It works! #ClaimHelp #CongressionalInquiry #VeteransAffairs #VAClaims #GetHelp

Struggling to get your vocational rehabilitation counselor to respond? You're not alone. Despite millions spent on case management systems, veterans still face this problem. The VA needs to address this ongoing issue for veterans. #VeteransAffairs #VRCounselor #VeteranHelp #VR&E #MilitaryBenefits

If your counselor hasn't responded in two weeks, it's time to act. Before escalating, try a 3-email approach. Be tactful and professional—they might just be busy or on leave. This is how to handle it. #VeteransAffairs #MentalHealthSupport #MilitaryLife #CounselingHelp

VR&E feels confusing for a reason. It still runs on insurance-style risk logic — not advocacy. The system steers toward the cheapest “suitable employment” unless you make the record say otherwise. That’s why documentation matters. 🎥 Full breakdown on YouTube: youtu.be/0aNHj7YM1yw

The $50,000 number gets thrown around like it’s law. It isn’t. It’s usually a documentation issue — not a legal one. ▶️ Learn how to push past the paperwork: youtu.be/D15IbuKsnws

There is no $50k “hard cap” in VR&E. There is a process — and most vets are never told how it works. M28C justification. High-cost memo. Chain approval. Knowledge changes outcomes. 📺 Learn how it actually works: youtu.be/D15IbuKsnws

VR&E Feels Like Insurance for a Reason (War Risk Insurance) VR&E can feel confusing and slow because the VA’s roots are insurance-based. It was historically called the Bureau of War Risk Insurance—and that mindset still shows up in how decisions get made: policies, documentation, and delay. If you’re stuck, the practical move is simple: put your request in writing and force a clear yes/no on the record. ▶️ Full video (long-form): youtu.be/0aNHj7YM1yw Resources / contact (if you have questions):🌐 benjaminkrauselaw.com/veteran-readin… 📞 (612) 888-9567 👥 Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/VocRehab #VRE #Chapter31 #VAVocRehab #VeteranBenefits #Shorts

VR&E Delays Are Predictable (War Risk Insurance Legacy) VR&E approval problems are predictable because the VA developed with an insurance-style culture—historically known as the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. That legacy still shows up in predictable ways: delayed determinations, heavy documentation burden, and uneven outcomes. This short is the condensed version. The long-form video breaks down the mechanics and the practical fix: force a written yes/no so the process can’t hide behind a “soft no.” ▶️ Full video (long-form): youtu.be/0aNHj7YM1yw Resources / contact (if you have questions):🌐 benjaminkrauselaw.com/veteran-readin…📞 (612) 888-9567👥 Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/VocRehab #VRE #Chapter31 #VAVocRehab #VeteranBenefits #Policy #Shorts

"It’s inexcusable." Rep. Van Orden slams the VA for a $2 billion price tag on a Digital GI Bill system that still can't pay veterans on time. Why is the taxpayer on the hook for incompetence? Full testimony: youtu.be/gCK-KqN6bfg #Veterans #GIBill #VAFail #HVAC #BreakingNews

"Inexcusable." Veterans are waiting a month or longer for a response from VR&E counselors earning 6-figure salaries. Millions paid but ghosting exists. Why isn't the VA Secretary fixing this? 🧵 Full Live Q&A: youtube.com/live/Ve7Ce1gfi… #Veterans #VRE #VAFail #Military #BreakingNews
