‘Predator’ Star and Vietnam Veteran Richard Chaves Awarded 100% Disability Rating through VetComm

SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- VetComm is proud to announce that Richard Chaves, U.S. Army veteran and acclaimed actor best known for his role as "Poncho" in the 1987 classic film "Predator," has officially received a 100% VA disability rating with the support and guidance of VetComm’s veteran advocacy team.

Before his acting career, Chaves honorably served his country as a combat infantryman in the Vietnam War. Like many veterans, he carried both visible and invisible wounds of service long after returning home. Despite his Hollywood success, Chaves quietly faced the challenges of navigating the VA benefits system for years.

Through the assistance of VetComm, Chaves successfully secured the full disability rating he rightfully earned, ensuring ongoing access to vital healthcare, resources and financial stability.

"I just couldn't have maneuvered it without you guys," Chaves said during a thankful visit to VetComm's headquarters. "I'm just ecstatic over the whole thing."

Though he's reached a 100% rating, his journey isn't over yet. VetComm is continuing to guide and support Chaves as he fights to secure a Permanent and Total designation. "It's not over. We've got a ways to go. With your support, it's made it a lot easier and I feel a lot more comfortable about the whole thing," he said.

Chaves joins the thousands of veterans nationwide who have successfully accessed their entitled benefits through VetComm’s educational resources and guidance.
