Big picture, the mission of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to fulfill President Lincoln's promise “to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan” by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans. Under the VA, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) supports this mission by providing a variety of benefits and services—including disability compensation services, insurance programs that provide financial security, and employment, business start-up, or independent living services and assistance—to Servicemembers, Veterans, and their families. Additional benefits and services to Veterans, specifically Veterans exposed to environmental hazards while fighting for our country, were expanded with the passage of “The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022”, commonly known as the PACT Act. The PACT Act provides the VBA with mechanisms to enhance the claims processing of and increase the workforce to support Veterans covered under this Act.
