NEPVA launches Veterans with MS Program

In 2022, PVA expanded its membership eligibility bylaws to welcome all Veterans with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which now accounts for 1 in 4 of all PVA members. Our national organization is committed to serving as a resource for veterans with MS as they navigate the ins and outs of living with the disease. Additionally, PVA service officers are trained in securing unique MS benefits from the VA and ensuring quality care for our veterans.
