Veterans Claims Assistance Act

The Veterans Claims Assistance Act (VCAA) is a U.S. law designed to help veterans obtain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It requires the VA to assist veterans in gathering evidence needed for their claims for disability compensation or other benefits. The law ensures that veterans are informed about what is needed to support their claims and provides a clearer process, aiming to reduce delays and improve the chances of receiving the benefits they deserve. Essentially, the VCAA establishes a more supportive framework for veterans seeking assistance with their claims.
