# Florida Veterans Benefits Lawyer | Free Consultation ![veteran](https://brookslawgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/veterans-benefits.jpg) ### Florida Veteran’s Benefits Attorney Your Veteran benefits are supposed to support you and your loved ones. But oftentimes, Veterans in Florida are told they are ineligible beneficiaries. Even worse, when the VA determines they have overpaid you, it can be detrimental to your credit history, employment opportunities, and even your eligibility for security clearance. This aggressive collection action can ruin a Veteran’s quality of life and destroy their family’s financial security. That’s why it’s crucial to consult a Florida Veteran’s Benefits Attorney to safeguard you and your family’s future. There have been multiple rulings over the last couple of years that have changed how the [Veterans Administration](https://www.va.gov/) is willing to compensate Veterans and their families. This makes it difficult for you to receive the benefits you deserve. However, Florida Veteran’s Benefits Attorneys at Brooks Law Group help Veterans and widows and widowers of Veterans receive VA benefits. And we can help you!

It can affect Defense Department members, especially those receiving active service pay (active duty personnel). Your payment should resume immediately after the VA receives a DOD notice. [According to the Veterans Affairs Department on April 19, 2019:](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/04/19/2019-07751/active-service-pay) *“If VA receives notice from DOD or a claim for recommencement of payments within one year from the date of release from active duty or active duty for training, payments, if otherwise in order, will be resumed effective the day following release. Otherwise, payments will be resumed effective one year prior to the date of receipt of a new claim.”* Look to Brooks!CALL US TODAY [![Phone Icon](https://brookslawgroup.com/wp-content/themes/brooks-law-group/assets/app/img/ctas/phone-icon.png)(800) 529-3030](tel:+18005293030) ### Agency Equity Action Plan In 2024, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) also updated its [Agency Equity Action Pla](https://www.va.gov/healthequity/Health_Equity_Action_Plan.asp)n in order to better align it with the whole-of-government equity agenda. Because of President Biden’s executive order to further advance racial equality and support for underserved communities through the federal government, the Biden-Harris administration put this plan into action. These legislative updates will both positively and negatively impact VA disability claims. How this will affect you will depend on your unique situation. Always consult a lawyer to be certain of your rights.
