Over 1,200 veterans who have sustained injuries that may prevent them from having children without medical assistance are not currently able to access fertility procedures such as in vitro fertilization from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. This benefit is only available through the Department of Defense to active duty families.
We at Quality of Life Foundation, together with a coalition of fellow Veterans Service Organizations, have called upon the Senate to re-examine this policy in a joint letter, which you can view at http://bit.ly/1NiBkPf.
You can also let your own Senator know you’d like action to be taken so our veterans can start a family at https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/action-center thanks to our advocacy friends at Wounded Warrior Project.
