[K3PZN-List] Fw: Warning for Military Veterans

[Terry Eng]

 To: Veterans

                    A newsletter I received dated October-December 2010; for 
Paralyzed Veterans of America has a article in it. Warning to veterans- which 
states the following.

                    An organization called Veterans Affairs Services (VAS) is 
providing and general information on VA and gathering personal information on 
veterans. This organization is not  affiliated with VA in any way.

                     VAS may be gaining access to military personnel through 
their close resemblance to the VA name and seal.   Our Legal Counsel has 
requested that we coordinate with DoD to inform military installations, 
particularly mobilization sites, of this group and their lack of affiliation or 
endorsement by VA to provide any services.

                      In addition, GC requests that if you have any examples of 
VAS acts that  violate Chapter 59 of the Title 38 United States Code, such as 
VAS employees assisting veterans in the preparation and presentation of claims 
for benefits, please pass any additional information to Mr. Daugherty at the 
address below.
