According to Veteran Statistics, 71.3% of veterans in the United States do not have any VA disability benefits.
MOULTRIE, Ga. - 71.3% of veterans do not have any type of VA Disability benefits or were denied in the past and gave up, according to a Veteran Statistics study. Of that number, 176,498 Veterans live right here in Georgia with disabilities.
The Georgia Department of Veteran Services helps veterans with any benefits that they are trying to obtain from the Department of Veterans Affairs. South Region Director Vincent Pritchett says they offer two main services at their branch: compensation and benefits. “We have offices in Columbus, Americus, Tifton, Waycross, Thomasville, Bainbridge, all over. So which office is close to them? They can go ahead and contact that office and get an appointment.”“It’s just the fact that when you get out the military, all the stuff you have to go through to try to claim this, claim that. I got tired of fighting the VA by myself. I got a lawyer involved now that’s who handles all my claims, all my paperwork.
Eddie Charles Kelley says his medical complications are for the rest of his life. He will have problems with his heart and lungs because of the toxins he inhaled while in the jungle in Vietnam. “The first thing that they should probably do is try to get treatment, but they should also come and see us and let us help them file a claim because PTSD is something that the VA compensates for, and the compensation can be quite high, depending on how severe their PTSD is,” said Pritchett.
