Chris Johnston, Deputy Chief Technology Officer Digital Experience,  brings to our attention a new app that the VA has introduced called VA Health and Benefits. This new app can be found anywhere you would download apps for your devices:  Google Play Store, or the Apple App Store. This new application lets you check up on claims and see, among many other things, all your VA letters, vaccine records, facility locator and another way to contact your doctor. This will not replace My Healthy Vet but will have many more services and have them all in one place.

Christine McCombs is the Community Outreach Officer for the Hillsborough County Florida Code Enforcement Department but more importantly, she is the founder of Operation Code Vet, Inc. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to assisting veterans who may, due to age or infirmity, have properties that are in conflict with Code regulations. It is my feeling that even though this is currently only in Florida, it should be a national program. Listen to hear how she put the program together and to get her contact information.

Colonel DJ Reyes closes out our series on the Veterans Treatment Court. How it got started in a tribute to how one man with an idea, who can convey that idea to others, can make a big difference in many lives. Having been active in the court since its inception he is in a unique position to help us understand how it started and now has become the model for courts at all levels across the nation. You will hear how it is now skipping out of national boundaries and other countries are copying us. This court saves lives, mends families, and saves the taxpayer money, what more could you ask.

Each of the programs this month will be in some way connected to the Florida Judicial District 13 Veterans Treatment Court. This court is a model for the national program approved by congress to set up courts that work to recover veterans who have come into conflict with the law. This, the fourth of these programs highlight the actions of our county Judge Michael Scionti as he deals with veterans in this special program.
