Helpful Tips

• We suggest that every veteran contact our office to make an appointment to go over all benefits a veteran is entitled to.
• We suggest that paperwork not be filed without the assistance of our office, the system is very cumbersome and there are many obstacles that our office can help with to make the process easier and faster.
• We have a veteran's transportation program that takes veterans to medical appointments at the VA in Minneapolis, this service is free. The van goes to the VA on even numbered days only.
