December 11, 2024<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0The El Paso County Division of Veterans Services is proud to announce the resounding success of its recent Veterans Claims Clinics held November 19-21, 2024. In collaboration with the Colorado Division of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the clinics served an impressive 283 Veterans over three days at the Recruiting & Readiness Center in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

The clinics provided vital services to Veterans, including assistance with filing claims, enrolling in VA healthcare, and accessing community care resources. Onsite VA exams were conducted, and representatives from the National Cemetery provided valuable information about burial benefits. While appointments were encouraged, walk-ins were welcomed to ensure as many Veterans as possible received support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of these clinics underscores the importance of community collaboration and the commitment to improving the lives of Veterans and their families,\u201d said Vernon Stewart, El Paso County Division of Veterans Services Interim Division Director. \u201cIt was a privilege to serve so many Veterans, connecting them with the resources and benefits they\u2019ve earned. We remain dedicated to ensuring that every Veteran in El Paso County receives the care and assistance they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

El Paso County Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) were key to the clinics\u2019 success. These accredited VSOs, who are Veterans, offer personalized assistance, helping Veterans secure the benefits they have earned. On average, claims submitted through El Paso County VSOs result in double the benefit amounts compared to other methods.<\/p>\n
