⚠️ Caution scam alert!

The SSO has received quite a few calls from veterans about receiving texts that claim to be the VA and asking the veteran to update information. Below is from a veteran that just today received a disability rating for the first time and I know the VA has all the needed information as it went in with the claim.

When I put the phone number the text came from in google it came up with warnings about scams. The 304 area code is a West Virginia area code.

So what I have been telling people is to not click on the link in the text but to go to VA.gov and sign on and check their information

Gehrig, a Hall of Fame first baseman with the New York Yankees, died on June 2, 1941 — his 37th birthday — from ALS.
