CLAIMS ASSISTANCE

DAV benefits experts are available across the country to help veterans navigate their VA benefits and provide counseling for veterans on claims and appeals—all at no cost to the veteran. 

                       All DAV National Service Officers are disabled veterans here to serve you!

Some of the issues that an NSO can assist with:

   Assisting veterans in filing claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs for compensation, pension, healthcare, and            other benefits.

  Caregiver benefits

 -  Guidance on state and local veteran benefits

  - Burial benefits for qualified veterans and their spouse

  - Vocational Readiness and Employment benefits

Need guidance with transition from military to civilian life? A TSO can assist with:

  - Assisting service members at military installations throughout the nation in filing claims with the Department of                       Veterans Affairs for compensation, pension, healthcare, and other benefits.

  By filing compensation claims at separation centers, where service records and examination facilities readily available,     DAV is able to provide better, more prompt service to service members as they transition to civilian life.
