The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2018 American Community Survey (ACS) states that approximately 18 million veterans live in the United States. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that veterans between the ages of 25 and 34 and over the age of 65 are more likely to use VA benefits compared to veterans of other age groups.
Some veterans benefits requests are oftentimes rejected on the first application submission, resulting in the applicant concluding that they are not eligible to receive any VA assistance.
