In this episode of the VET’ed. Podcast, host Jen M. Wagman sits down with Benjamin Pomerance, Deputy Counsel for the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services and one of the nation’s leading voices in veterans law and advocacy.

From drafting landmark legislation to challenging systemic failures in the VA claims process, Benjamin has spent more than a decade fighting for fair treatment, education access, housing solutions, and suicide prevention initiatives for veterans and their families. He also brings his unique perspective as a prolific writer and educator, blending legal expertise with a journalist’s eye for human stories.

Together, Jen and Benjamin dig into the hard truths about the Veterans Benefits Administration, explore the evolving duty to assist, and spotlight the ongoing “renaissance” in veterans' benefits and advocacy across the country.

🎙️ This episode speaks to every veteran, loved one, and advocate working to navigate—and challenge—the systems meant to serve our nation’s heroes.
