Disabled Adult Children Of Vietnam Vets Need Help For War Related Birth Defects
Ensuring Needed Health Care For Veterans’ Children With Spina Bifida
Ensuring That Children Of Vietnam War Veterans Born With Spina Bifida Get The Health Care They Need
Five out of seven Vietnam War veterans’ children suffer from birth defects, including Spina Bifida. The VA has designated 1,200 individuals eligible for care under the Spina Bifida Health Care Program.While the VA has agreed to provide Comprehensive Health Care under this program, it has continually failed to provide the in-home care many of these beneficiaries need and are entitled to under the law (38 USC §1803).
Parents of these children are now too old to provide the same 24/7 care that many Spina Bifida children require. Now, they need the assistance of a professional who can help these individuals with daily living tasks. The VA must provide the complete care that these military families were promised — and desperately need.
By supporting, you will be urging Congress to demand the VA follow the law and provide complete care to Spina Bifida children.
By opposing, you do not think Congress should take further action on this matter.
