Today, we’re celebrating our veterans who fought for our rights and freedoms with an episode dedicated to educating veterans and non-veterans about the services and resources available to support them.

In this episode, Peter Raskin speaks with Cathy Battles and Alyssa Hayes* of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. They discuss services that are vital and necessary for those that have given just so much for our country, and share resources to assist veterans in getting the help they need.

Cathy and Alyssa discuss:

• When and how a veteran can file a claim for compensation for an injury or illness incurred during active duty military service
  
• The process of filing a disability claim
  
• What the recent Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act legislation offers veterans
  
• How the VA helps veterans with education, training, employment and housing benefits after they’re approved for a service connected disability
  
• How they adapted their outreach to meet the needs of veterans during the pandemic
  
• How small businesses owners can help support our veterans and provide employment opportunities
