According to the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), medical nutrition services are a core component of providing comprehensive care to Veterans who are nutritionally compromised. While the VA does not typically cover over-the-counter dietary supplements, it does provide coverage for medically necessary nutritional supplements when prescribed by a VA healthcare provider.

According to the VA, thousands of veterans file supplemental claims annually to challenge previously denied benefit decisions by submitting new and relevant evidence. This process is a critical option for veterans who believe their original claim was wrongly denied and have additional proof to present.
