The following information was released by 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 the VA
in any way.
VAS may be gaining access to military personnel through their close
resemblance to the VA name and seal (note their website:
www.vaservices.org/us/) In addition if you have any examples of
VAS acts that violate chapter 59 of Title 38 USC, such as VAS employees
assisting veterans in the preparation and presentation of claims for
benefits, please contact Mr. Daugherty at the following address: Staff
Attorney, Dept of VA, Office of General Counsel, 810 Vermont Ave, Rm
1106, Washington, D.C., 20420 or email: michael.daugherty2@va.gov." |
