For veterans who rely on service dogs, access to public spaces isn’t a privilege. It’s protected by law.
DAV member and Army veteran William McCasland and his service dog, Kobe, encountered a frustrating misunderstanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) while traveling. Rather than letting the experience end there, McCasland is using it as an opportunity to educate others about the rights of veterans with service dogs.
Do you know what businesses can—and can’t—ask about a service dog? What documentation is actually required? And what protections does the ADA provide?
In the latest #DAVMagazine, we break down the answers, McCasland’s experience and why education can help make public spaces more accessible for veterans with disabilities. ➡️ dav.la/4vTvfi7.
Today marks the four-year anniversary of the signing of the PACT Act, one of the largest pieces of veteran legislation history. The PACT Act expands health care and disability benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances—such as burn pits and Agent Orange—during their military service.
