Washington, D.C. (WRBL) – Veterans Affairs will be introducing new discounts and additional disability claims.
Veterans, military members, families, caregivers and survivors will be eligible to receive 10% off at Microsoft and Zappos. An all-inclusive list of discounts can be found here.
In addition, Veterans Affairs are now processing disability claims for specific and conditional matters.
Claims for asthma, rhinitis and sinusitis on a speculative basis based on particular exposures during military service in Southwest Asia and other specific areas.
