VETERANS SERVICE OFFICE

The VA VFW Service Office exists to assist Veterans in dealing with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans Service Officer will:

 
 
  • Offer research and advice to veterans who wish to handle their own claims.


  • Assist veterans who are filing original claims for compensation and/or pension with the Department of Veterans Affairs and complete the required VA forms on behalf of the claimant.


  • Assist veterans in reopening claims for service-connected disabilities and complete the required VA forms.


  • Follow up on status of claims filed by veterans with the VA Regional Office.


  • File 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 claim and assist veterans with the preparation of responses.


  • Assist veterans or surviving spouses in the preparation of appeals for denial of claims and file 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/research telephone inquiries regarding medical, death/burial and other miscellaneous benefits.


We are here to advocate for the rights of all Wisconsin Veterans and their families, regardless of whether or not they are members of the VFW.
