VA Information


We will provide information received from the Veteran’s Administration that may be of benefit to our members.


File a Supplemental Claim for Denied Benefits

If VA denied your disability claim in the past, but now considers your condition presumptive, you should file a Supplemental Claim. This will allow the VA to re-adjudicate your claim when new evidence or policy is presented. Learn how to file a Supplemental Claim today.

Find Your VA Disability Ratings

Your VA disability rating is used to determine how much compensation you’ll receive each month, as well as your eligibility for other VA benefits. If you have one or multiple disability ratings, you can view both your combined VA disability rating and individual ratings online.

Access MYHEALTHEVET Through New VA Page

ver the past few months, VA has been building a new home for VA health tools to include My HealtheVet. The new My HealtheVet portal on VA.gov will provide a single place to manage your healthcare needs in the same location where you manage other VA benefits and services.  

This transition began in Spring 2023 and will take approximately 2 years to complete.  Veterans will continue to be able to access My HealtheVet directly at https://www.myhealth.va.gov/mhv-portal-web/home. If you have not already, we encourage you to sign up for a My HealtheVet Premium account.
