A woman deceived the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs by falsely claiming she was completely blind for 15 years, ultimately receiving nearly $400,000 in benefits. Veronica Dale Hahn, a 60-year-old from Bonifay, Florida, reported that her vision impairment was a result of her military service. The VA accepted her claims, leading to the disbursement of $394,800.85 in disability payments.
During this deceptive period, Hahn managed to obtain driver’s licenses in multiple states, including New Mexico, Alabama, and Florida, without any vision restrictions. She even maintained a full-time job as a case manager at state correctional facilities. Recently, she pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and now faces a potential 10-year prison sentence.
