Empowering Veterans: Fix Your VA Disability Rating & Enhance Your Health

The Villages Homeowners Advocates invites all Veterans to an informative session about two very important health related issues specifically related to Veterans.

This event is dedicated to informing veterans about the resources and support available to them. Whether you want to maximize your VA disability rating or seek expert care for PTSD, TBIs, cognitive function, physical strength or overall wellness, this is your opportunity to connect with trusted professionals and fellow veterans. Empower yourself and take the next step toward a healthier, more secure future.

The first topic is about how to attain the VA Disability rating You Are Entitled To.

Navigating the VA system can be complex and overwhelming. Don’t miss out on the compensation and support you have earned through your service. This session will examine how to file an initial claim and/or how to ensure you attain the proper VA disability rating you are entitled to. Richard Soldinie, Managing Director for Veritas Ratings, and US Army Special Forces Veteran will offer his expert insights and help you understand your eligibility and how to maximize your benefits.

• Personalized guidance for filing and appealing VA disability claims
• Up-to-date information on VA rating criteria
• Resources to ensure you are informed about your rights and entitled benefits
