March is Intellectual Disability Month

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
Don’t make assumptions about a persons abilities.
Do: Speak in simple, clear language. Be patient and allow the person to process information.
Do: Include people with intellectual disabilities in conversations and activities, just like everyone else
Don’t: Use complex language or speak down to them. Don’t assume someone with a developmental disability cannot understand or contribute.

Veterans have said they had received texts from VA asking them to “update their information.” The text included a link that redirected the recipient to a very legitimate looking website where the unsuspecting could enter sensitive personal information for the “update.” This is a scam!

VA does send text messages to Veterans to offer updates on benefits, resources, and reminders for appointments. Veterans should be very cautious if they receive communications that ask for personal information or those that demand immediate payment.

If you receive a suspicious text message (or email) please report it to VHA at (866) 842-4357. Scams related to VA benefits (VBA) should be reported to (833) 388-7233, and Non VA scams should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission at (877) 382-4357, or by contacting the FTC online at http://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ These are all 24/7 contact resources.
