VFW SERVICE DIVISION
The Veterans of Foreign Wars service division is
a full-service non-profit organization that assists veterans, their family
members, and survivors. The service division is an advocate for veterans and
their families, and aggressively pursues all federal and state benefits and
entitlements on their behalf.
The Veterans Service
Offices are staffed with accredited Service Officers to assist veterans and
family members in accessing benefits to which they may be entitled, including.
- VA Disability Compensation
- VA Pension or Widows Pension
- Aid & Attendance
- Health Care Benefits
- Other Federal, State or County Benefits
Using a case
management approach, our staff attend to the needs of the individual and their
families by providing counseling and referral services in a holistic fashion.
This includes representing veterans in cases adjudicated with the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs in Seattle.
