H FACTOR Battle Buddy: Helping Veterans Find the Benefits They Earned
The Battle Buddy approach connects veterans with VA benefits, health care, and community support — so no one navigates the system alone.
In uniform, nobody goes anywhere alone. Battle Buddy carries that same idea into civilian life: every veteran deserves someone in their corner while working through benefits, health care, and the transition home.
Start with the essentials
- VA health care enrollment
- Disability compensation claims
- Education and GI Bill benefits
- Home loan and housing support
- Mental health and crisis resources
If you or a veteran you know is in crisis, call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line, available 24/7.
Why a buddy matters
Paperwork, deadlines, and unfamiliar terms keep too many veterans from claiming what they earned. A trusted buddy — a fellow veteran, an accredited representative, or a family member — makes the process faster and far less isolating.
You had each other’s backs then. Battle Buddy is about having each other’s backs now.
