November 11th is Veterans Day, and the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program is calling on lawyers to join the fight for those that served in the military.
The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program (vetsprobono.org) is a nonprofit providing free legal services to veterans who've been unfairly denied their military benefits.
The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program provides the training and mentoring attorneys need to help veterans with:
• Denied disability claims before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims
• "Other Than Honorable" discharges, including LGBTQ+ discrimination, or PTSD-related behaviors.
• Sexual trauma during service
• Naturalization through service
The nonprofit also carefully screens and selects appeals cases and pairs them with qualified attorneys, resulting in a 90% success rate.
Volunteer lawyers from across the country have transformed the lives of veterans by providing pro bono legal services. One veteran said, "My PTSD went undiagnosed for decades after I left the military. My symptoms cost me jobs, homes, and relationships. There's no corner of my life that wasn't impacted. But my Veterans Consortium lawyer helped me claim my disability benefits retroactively. Now, I have the funds and benefits I need to get help and build a better life."
For additional information about The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program, how to get involved, how to support the organization and its national outreach initiatives, visit our website, www.vetsprobono.org or contact The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program via email at outreach@vetsprobono.org.
