VA could reduce a veteran’s benefits if your injury or illness has improved or if you have a change in dependency. It’s important to pay attention to your VA disability compensation benefits. • Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is here to help avoid these issues. If you receive a VA notification of a proposed reduction, contact an accredited veteran’s service officer immediately. WWP wants veterans to be prepared for any changes in the benefits process, including proposed reductions, and to know there is help if veterans have questions or issues regarding their VA benefits. • Here are some tips to prepare for and avoid a VA proposed reduction: • Keep contact information updated. If you move, make sure to notify VA of your change of address or changed phone number or email address. This includes both the Veterans Health Administration and Veterans Benefits Administration. You don’t want to be surprised by a reduction because you didn’t get the notification. • Inform the VA of dependent changes. Notify VA immediately of any changes to dependents, including a child reaching age of maturity, marriage, divorce, death, and anything else that may affect dependent status. • Respond immediately. The window to request a hearing is only 30 days and the window to submit supporting evidence is only 60 days so if you wish to dispute the proposed reduction, make sure to respond as quickly as possible. • Keep a log. Because medical exams may be needed to avoid a reduction, keep a detailed account of how you’re feeling and the day-to-day effects your injury or illness is having on you. Make sure to keep medical appointments and let your doctor know the complete and full extent of your injury and/or illness. • Get help. If you’re confused about the proposed reduction and have questions about how to dispute it or what your next step should be, reach out to a veterans service organization (VSO) like WWP to get free assistance from experienced benefits advocates. • Plan ahead. If you’re likely to experience a reduction because a child is no longer eligible for payments or other foreseeable changes, prepare early by creating a new budget, reducing expenses and spending, and saving. WWP’s financial education programs can help veterans minimize the impact by providing veterans and their family members with the tools and support to improve or maintain their financial well-being.
