Trained and accredited El Paso County Veterans Service Officers will be onsite to assist with compensation claims, pension applications, healthcare enrollment, survivor benefits, and other VA-related matters. No appointment is necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that navigating the VA claims process can be overwhelming. This clinic gives Veterans and their families a direct line to local, accredited professionals who are here to serve them,\u201d said Charles Graves, El Paso County Division of Veterans Services Manager. \u201cOur goal is to remove barriers and make it easier for Veterans to access the benefits they\u2019ve earned.\u201d<\/p>\n
