Our highly-trained department service officers (DSOs) provide free, professional assistance to veterans of all    generations in obtaining VA and other government benefits earned through service.  These DSOs provide counseling on  all veterans’ benefits including disability compensation, health care, pension, survivors’ benefits, employment rights,  education and more.  Our DSOs also help veterans assemble evidence needed to support claims, build their cases, and  prepare forms and briefs.
