VetComm Secures $2 Billion in Lifetime VA Disability Compensation for Veterans in 2024
VetComm assisted more than 10,000 veterans in 2024, achieving a $2 billion total in disability compensation for its clients.
'Reaching this $2 billion milestone is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our veteran clients and the unwavering commitment of the VetComm team.'— VetComm CEO Kate Monroe
SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, April 14, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- VetComm, an organization dedicated to helping veterans obtain the disability benefits they're owed, is proud to announce its monumental achievement of securing $2 billion in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation for its clients in 2024. This milestone underscores the company's commitment to supporting United States veterans and reflects the organization's rapid growth and impact.
In 2024 alone, VetComm provided hands-on, personalized guidance to more than 10,000 veterans navigating the VA disability claims process. VetComm representatives were available for clients seven days a week, 12 hours a day, across all U.S. time zones. Veterans received technological assistance, real-time claim submission support, comprehensive preparation for their Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam and more.
By the end of 2025, VetComm expects to have assisted more than 25,000 veterans in obtaining $5 billion in lifetime VA disability compensation. With over 10 million veterans across the country who are still unrated by the VA, VetComm's mission is far from over.

Trivago watched its revenue forecast plummet from $1 billion to nearly zero—so the company tapped a set of former interns to turn it around
Interns are often brushed off for being at the bottom of the totem pole, but at some companies, it's become a part of the secret recipe for landing a gig in the C-suite. Trivago is part of a list of companies, including Nike, HP, and EY, that have promoted former coffee-fetchers to the top of the corporate ladder. In the matter of a month during the pandemic, travel planning company Trivago's revenue forecast plummeted from $1 billion to virtually zero. It was a 'near-death experience' that resulted in a 'deep winter' for the company, according to CEO Johannes Thomas. Actual revenue sank 70% to 249 million euros in 2020 from 839 million euros in 2019, the latter equivalent to about $940 million at the time. But even as restrictions were lifted and travel surged back, Trivago still had not recovered—and thus it was time for a shake-up in the C-suite. 'After you have a near-death experience and three years of depression, you have a team that doesn't believe anymore,' Thomas, who was brought in as CEO to turn the company around in 2023, tells Fortune. But for Thomas and other executives, what's notable about their experiences is not their most recent roles—it's how they started their careers. Thomas first joined Trivago in 2011 as an intern working in online marketing, and he's quietly assembled other former interns, including Chief Financial Officer Wolf Schmuhl and Chief Marketing Officer Jasmine Ezz. Thomas says having leaders who understand the business and its culture from the ground up are key to returning the company to its former glory. And while Trivago's revenue for 2024 was still half what it was five years ago in 2019, first quarter 2025 revenues increased by 22% to $124 million. While retirees are often known for traveling frequently, one of Trivago's focuses is on young people—and it makes sense considering Gen Z's spending habits. The generation was the only group that reported an increase in year-to-year travel spending between 2023 and 2024, according to Berkshire Hathaway's State of Travel Insurance Report. The average trip was over $11,000. '(We're) trying to build an ecosystem—a culture and environment where young people can grow and where people can thrive,' Thomas says. That's another reason why Trivago's C-suite is not stacked with Gen Xers, but instead millennials who understand how young people think, spend, and travel. According to Thomas, the average Trivago customer is 34 years old, and 20% have families. By focusing on young people as a company, Trivago not only is able to tap into a customer market, but also an employee talent market. 'You get rock stars on the senior level football team,' Thomas says. 'And then you have a second team of young talents that have a chance to grow in this combination we try to execute on.' Trivago is not the only company that realized that those with the strongest roots to their company are the best leaders. Last year, Nike became the latest Fortune 500 company to name a former intern as a CEO. Elliot Hill began at the sports-gear giant at age 19 as an apparel sales intern and has only ever had one company at the top of his paychecks. In a statement last year, Hill said Nike has 'always been a core part of who I am.' HP CEO Enrique Lores, Principal Financial Group CEO Deanna Strable, and EY CEO Janet Truncale all similarly went from fetching coffees as an intern to being promoted to the corner office. And while focusing on hard work as an intern may set your path in motion to one day become chief executive, Lores admits that there's also an element of luck. 'You can be very smart or very good,' he previously told Fortune. 'But you also need to be lucky, and that's a very important thing for all of us to accept.' This story was originally featured on

Would investors be mad to consider these UK shares at P/E ratios above 30?
Despite a reputation for trading at a discount to their US counterparts, some UK shares trade at very high price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples. But these can often be better value than they look. There are a couple of stocks from the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 that currently trade at P/E ratios above 30. But – for different reasons – I think both are worth considering. Informa's (LSE:INF) in the business of running trade shows and conferences. Its biggest competitive strength is the popularity of its events, which are leaders in their various industries. The firm also leases – rather than owns – the venues that host its events. As a result, it has relatively little in the way of physical assets, which makes for low maintenance costs. A consequence of this is that Informa's free cash flow is consistently higher than its net income. In 2024, net income was around £407m, while free cash flow was £771m. The company's cash flow statement indicates that a lot of the difference is due to amortisation costs. Some of these relate to the firm's acquisition of Ascential in 2024. There are some important risks to consider. One of the most obvious is the possibility of a trade war, which is especially live at the moment and could be significant. Importantly though, I don't think the stock's as expensive as its P/E multiple suggests. On a free cash flow basis, it trades at a multiple of 13 and this seems much more reasonable. Shares in FTSE 250 brick manufacturer Ibstock (LSE:IBST) currently trade at a P/E ratio of almost 50. But there's a very clear reason for this. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the number of housing completions has been falling since 2021. And that has been weighing on demand for bricks. There's reason to believe though, that the long-term picture's much more positive. The UK has a shortage of housing that might well lead to strong demand over the next decade and beyond. If this causes Ibstock's earnings to get back to where they were at their peak, the current share price implies a P/E ratio of around 8. I think that means the stock might not be as expensive as it looks. Ongoing developments in housing construction are a potential risk for the firm. Some new building techniques require fewer bricks than traditional ones and this is worth paying attention to. Investors therefore shouldn't be complacent when it comes to the stock. But they also shouldn't take a high P/E ratio at face value as a sign the company's shares are overvalued. Valuing a stock isn't just about looking at the multiples it trades at. A high P/E ratio says more about investor expectations than the underlying business. With Informa, the business generates more cash than its net income indicates. And Ibstock's profits should gather momentum in the event of UK housebuilding picking up in the future. I don't think investors would be mad to consider buying either at today's prices. I see both as reasons to look past the headline multiples when it comes to evaluating stocks.
