Getting It Right Matters
At Veterans Benefits Source, accuracy is one of our highest priorities.
We strive to provide reliable, understandable information about VA benefits, but we recognize that mistakes can happen. Laws and regulations change, court decisions clarify existing rules, and VA policies and procedures evolve.
When we get something wrong, we believe in making it right.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We work to ensure that our educational content reflects applicable laws, regulations, and other authoritative sources.
When we identify information that is inaccurate, misleading, incomplete in a material way, or outdated, we will evaluate the issue and make appropriate corrections.
Report an Error
If you believe something on Veterans Benefits Source is incorrect, outdated, or unclear, we encourage you to let us know.
Email: admin@sourceforvets.com
Please include, if possible:
- The title or link to the page containing the information.
- A description of the potential error or concern.
- The specific statement or section you believe needs attention.
- Any relevant source, such as a statute, regulation, court decision, or official VA publication.
You do not need to provide legal research or supporting documentation to report a concern. We welcome feedback from all readers.
Please do not include sensitive personal, medical, or financial information.
How We Handle Corrections
When we receive a report of a possible error, we strive to:
1. Review the concern. We examine the information identified and consider whether it is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or unclear.
2. Verify the applicable sources. When appropriate, we consult relevant statutes, regulations, court decisions, VA publications, and other authoritative materials.
3. Make necessary changes. If a correction is warranted, we revise the affected content to improve its accuracy or clarity.
4. Explain significant corrections. When a material factual or legal error is corrected, we will generally include a correction notice identifying the substantive change.
Not every edit requires a formal correction notice. Minor changes involving grammar, formatting, wording, or readability may be made without one.
Updates Versus Corrections
A correction addresses information that was inaccurate or misleading when published.
An update reflects a subsequent development, such as a new law, regulation, court decision, or VA policy.
We may revise articles to reflect either circumstance. Where appropriate, we will identify significant updates so readers understand what has changed.
Transparency and Accountability
We do not believe that acknowledging a mistake undermines credibility. We believe that correcting it demonstrates accountability.
We welcome constructive feedback, including disagreements about how a law, regulation, or court decision is explained.
Although we cannot guarantee an individual response to every submission, we take credible reports of errors seriously.
