Have you received a letter from the VA?

In the past year the VA has sent letters out to over 14,000 VA hospital patients.  It seems that VA hospitals in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee had performed medical procedures such as colonoscopies, with improperly cleaned medical equipment.  This inexcusable error has potentially exposed all of the 14,000 veterans to HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.  

Did you receive one of these letters?  If so it is important that you get blood work done to ensure that you have not had exposure to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C.  There are effective treatments and ways to manage these conditions and early detection is often key.   

If you need help filing for veterans' disability or if you have questions about your claim please contact an attorney at LaVan & Neidenberg today for your free consultation.
