WARNING TO VETERANS - Forwarded by Kevin Secor, VSO Liaison, Office of the
Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
An organization called Veterans Affairs Services (VAS) is providing benefit
and general information on VA and gathering personal information on
veterans. This organization is not affiliated with VA in any way.
Veterans Affairs Services - Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, Reserves - News, Homeland Security, Veterans Benefits
VAS may be gaining access to military personnel through their close resemblance to the VA name and seal. Our Legal Counsel has requested that we coordinate with DoD to inform military installations, particularly mobilization sites, of this group and their lack of affiliation or endorsement by VA to provide any services. In addition, GC [General Counsel] requests that if you have any examples of VAS acts that violate chapter 59 of Title 38 United States Code, such as VAS employees assisting veterans in the preparation and presentation of claims for benefits, please pass any additional information to Mr. Daugherty at the address below.
