Welcome to the Resources page
You have served your country honorably and understand the sacrifices involved. Now, it is time to access the benefits you have earned and the support only other veterans can provide.
This is a complimentary service for all veterans. You do not need to be a VFW member to receive this Veteran’s Resource information, but we encourage you to join the VFW to receive the personalized assistance you deserve. From service-related medical issues and VA claims to educational benefits, we are committed to providing you with the answers you seek. Please contact our Post VFW Service Officer, Comrade Jeff Anderson, at jeffanderson1424@gmail.com.
Our Post Service Officer will:
* Provide research and guidance to veterans who wish to handle their own claims.
* Assist veterans filing original claims for compensation and/or pension with the Department of Veterans Affairs and complete the necessary VA forms on behalf of the claimant.
* Assist veterans in reopening claims for service-connected disabilities and complete the required VA forms.
* Monitor the status of claims filed by veterans with the VA Regional Office.
* File a Notice of Disagreement with the VA Regional Office if a veteran believes the decision made by the VA was incorrect.
* Review statements of the case from the VA regarding denials of claims and assist veterans with preparing responses.
* Assist veterans or surviving spouses in preparing appeals for denial of claims and filing the appeals with the local VA Regional Office for forwarding to the Board of Veterans Appeals in Washington, D.C.
* Complete VA forms other than for original claims.
* Answer or research telephone inquiries regarding medical, death/burial, and other miscellaneous benefits.
It is strongly recommended that forms be prepared with your DD Form 214 attached and kept in a secure location so that your family members have easy access when needed.
