VA Regional Offices provide financial and other forms of assistance to Veterans and their dependents, including disability compensation, survivor’s benefits, pension and fiduciary service, education and training, vocational rehabilitation and employment assistance, life insurance coverage, and home loan guarantees. VA disability compensation offers a monthly tax-free payment to Veterans who got sick or injured while serving in the military or whose service aggravated an existing condition.

During the upcoming Virtual Claims Clinic, staff members will answer questions about PACT Act benefits, and existing VA benefits claims, and assist with filing new claims.
