Millions of veterans are susceptible to scams and fraud that claim to offer assistance with a new Veterans Affairs Department law aimed at health care and benefits, according to a new AARP survey.
The survey, which questioned 887 veterans and active-duty military personnel on fraud schemes, focused on the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act (PACT), which was enacted last year and expands health care and benefits for those exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic substances.
